OEM Soundcard

I tried to upgrade my sound card to SB Live! platinum last year. . . I guess it was incompatible with my system that was running Win Me at the time and just crashed my whole system. I formatted and took out the Soundcard. installed this cheap 20$ noname one. I'm at boarding school and my ethernet card was working fine before i formatted but after i formatted . . . Win 98 won't recognize the driver floppy when I put it in . . .I had browse and finally got it going then it said missing all these .sys .exe files andasked me to enter win 98 se disk. I did but they still couldn't fin the files so i had to skip file .. . its working now but after that whenever I restart I get these three msgs "Cannot find file Vnetsup.vxd, Vredir.vxd, dfs.vxd . . .The System.INI refers to this file if you uninstalled this file on purpose please reinstall it . .. if u deleted it onpurpose try uninstalling the associated application." All I did was install my driver for my ethernet card! wat happened? it says press any key to continue and I do then rite before windows loads up . . . i get this warning msg from windows say "unable to load dynamic link library" msnp.dll the following features will not work . . .Microsoft Networking. . I am really lost here. . wat caused all these msgs? Does anybody have any idea as to what is going on with my computer? help will be greatly appreciated

When Windows can't find files on the CD you need to look other places for the files.

Alot of times the files your system is looking for are in windows system or system32.

Also when installing drivers off of a disk sometimes you have to keep directing windows to that location for the files.


Remove you network card from the deviece manager and restart.
Install the drivers and this time don't skip any files.

xray is dead on


you're going to have to remove the soundcard from device manager, and let windows re-detect it. then you're going to have to point windows to the directories every time. windows is dumb
