I have two issues with WIN98: When I double click on the “Date/Time� function in the Control Panel or in the Task Bar the screen flashes briefly then nothing happens. I don’t see the panel which allows me to adjust the date and time.[list][*]When starting up WIN98 I get an error message which states:
“Cannot find a device that maybe needed to run Windows. The registry or SYSTEM.INI file refers to this device file, but the device file no longer exists.
I'm not sure about the date/time problem, but it might be a good idea to read my
article on Windows 98. A temporary work-around would be to adust the time from a DOS command line using the
time command.
For the boot-time error: back up the Registry. Open
Regedit and do a search on
VSHINIT.VXD. Remove the reference that you find there. That file is part of
McAfee anti-virus software. If you still have it and it's current, you could try a re-install. If not, you
are running anti-virus software of
some sort, right?
