Can't find VXD

All I did was put a network card in the back of my PC and I started getting the following error messages before Win 98 SE loads:

Can't find a device file that may be needed to run Windows or a Windows Application. The Windows registry or system.ini refers to this device file, but the device file no longer exists. (the following 3 files are listed after separate messages):

vnetsup.vxd
vredir.vxd
dfs.vxd

Press a key to continue

After I keep pressing Enter to get past these messages, 98 starts to load and I receive one more message:

Unable to load the dll msnp32.dll. The system cannot find the file specified. Some or all of the following feature is not available: Microsoft Network

I click on OK under the message and Windows loads and acts normally. Any suggestions on how to get rid of these messages would be appreciated.

I've had this problem before, and was able to fix it 2 ways, the easiest way was re-install the drivers for the new device (in my case a new sound card)

The second way was to get the vxd files from windows and place them in the correct windows/system folders..

Thanks for the quick reply. I removed and reinstalled the Client for MS Networks and all the error messages went away.
