Win 98 start up problem
I am getting a message "dfs.vxd file is missing" and you may have to set up windows again message every time I am starting my Compaq P III 450 Mhz. machine.
I will have to intervene every time and press any key to continue to start the machine.
What should I do to get out of this

This file is located under c:\windows\system. Try extracting the file from the NET9.cab on your CD. Also try looking for the file in the system.ini or in your registry. Also have you uninstalled or installed?
You'll need to reinstall the application that file is associated with. Did you delete a program or file recently, or change you system settings? The other solution is to search system.ini, win.ini, and your registry for a line containing a reference to dfs.vxd and delete it.
I have delt with this a couple of times Go to a different computer with the same O/S and copy that file to a disk and put it in the c:windows\system folder and then re boot I know what you will not see that message again. Delet nothing. The file will fix on a floppy disk.
Let us know if this worked.

sorry about the choppy words I was in a hurry
Run sfc (system file checker) Type the name of the file and set the destination to c:\windows\system.
