I am running win98 and had a power surge and can not get online. Every time I try to reinstall the network adapter (either netgear or d-link)I get the following message.
"the NDIS.VXD, NTKERN.VXD device loader for this device could not load device driver" I have already reinstalled windows 98 and reinstalled the adapter and get the same message. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks in advance: Jack
 
Hello,

First, you'll need to place your Windows 98 full version CD into your CD-ROM.

Go to Start, then Run. Type sfc and click OK. On the window that appears, check mark the line "Extract one file from installation disk." Type NDIS.VXD in the dialog box and click Start. A new window will appear.

Here is what you need to have before you click OK:

Restore from: D:\Win98 (where D is your CD-ROM)
Save file in: C:\Windows\Desktop

The file will appear on your Desktop in a few seconds.

If this worked, this was a trial run. Now install the VXD file directly into the Windows folder where it belongs.

On the "Save file in" line, you need to have this:

Save file in: C:\Windows\System

Click OK.


NDIS.VXD needs to be in:
C:\Windows\System

NTKERN.VXD occupies two folders:
C:\Windows\System\VMM32 & C:\Windows\Options\Cabs


I tried all of this before I posted to you. It should work.

Please reply with your progress.

Take your computer outdoors when blowing out the dust; it's mostly skin dust. A clean computer is a cool computer.
