dfx.vxd file not found problem.......

hi, i have just installed a d-link network card. It is a plug and play card, but i havent been able to do much playing...when i reboot win 98 SE it says the files dfx.vxd vnetsup.vxd vredir.vxd cannot be found, i did however take these files from the win 98 SE cdrom and extract them to the C:windows\system folder where they were supposed to be. This stopped the error message, but my computer took  a REALLY LONG TIME to boot up win 98. I also get an error that msnp32.dll cannot be found. I tried searching my system registry to find these files to no avail, all i found was a key with a file named "vxdfile". Id really appreciate sum input so i can fix this asap....thanks alot!!

lyle426,
   I am concern that you are getting these missing files. They are probably corrupted. Check for other corrupted files. From Start > Run and type "SFC" without the quotes and click OK.

Win 98 likes to re-bind the networking components EVERY time you make a change. I finally created a floppy with these components compressed in the A:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\PRECOPY directory.

vservr.vxd is used for file sharing.
DHCPSRV.dll.
and  VnetSUP.VXD, VnetBIOS.VXD, VreDIR.VXD, dfs.VXD, MSnp32.dll
They are originally found in NET7.CAB and NET9.CAB .

If you still need them
