When the pull down menu comes on, click on system file check. Let window find the corrupted files and then just restore from the cd. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I believe the video device drivers Jim mentioned, vxd should be in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM at least that's were most of them are. I can find Vshinit.vxd and Ndis.vxd in SYSTEM. If he could find them on the Windows CD and there are just three files needed maybe it is possible to just place them back in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM. Or wouldn't that work? Have no idea. Eelco
