Q. When I boot up my Windows 98 machine I get the following message: Cannot find a device file that may be needed to run windows or a windows application. The Windows registry or System.INI file refers to this device file but the device file no longer exists. If you deleted this file on purpose, try uninstalling the associated application using its uninstall or set up program. If you still want to use the application associated with this device file, try reinstalling that application to replace the missing file C:\windows\system\VSHINIT.VXD Press any key to continue.......
Is there anyway to get rid of this annoying message?
A. (On further questioning, it was learned that the questioner began having this problem after she had McAfee AntiVirus removed from her computer and Norton AntiVirus installed.)
Initially, bring up the System.ini screen by clicking Start, click Run and type in SYSEDIT. Click on System.ini file, scroll down the entries and if you find VSHINIT.VXD, type REM at front of the line.
Most likely you will have to go to the Registry, i.e., click on Start, click on Run and type in REGEDIT. You should now see the Registry window. You should then export the Registry by clicking on the File menu, give it a name, e.g., registry1.reg and export this file to your hard drive or to a floppy.
Next, click on the Edit menu; click Find and type in VSHINIT.VXD and search for it. At each find, delete the file then depress the F3 to continue the search. When no more new ones are found, exit the Registry. Restart the machine.
As stated so often in this column, do NOT attempt to edit any system files or the Registry unless you are experienced in doing so.
I found this from doing a Google.com search for VSHINIT.VXD. It sounds like you get this from uninstalling McAfee. To clear it up you need to remove that file in the system.ini. Depending on your version of Windows you can go to Start => Run and type SYSEDIT. Follow their instructions, but be careful if you decide to go into the registry.
Let us know if you get stuck and we can try to get you through this.
