Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1 Scan saved at 11:03:43 PM, on 7/2/05 Platform: Windows 98 SE (Win9x 4.10.2222A) MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP1 (6.00.2800.1106) When I turn on my computer or restart, I get the message of cannot locate a file or application that uses IPVNMon.vxd, and either reinstall that file or app, or delete the file or app that uses it. I do not know what uses IPVNMon.vxd. Running searches on the net leads me to something about a Yahoo service that I don't have on my computer. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance. Jonathan

Welcome to TomCoyote.org! I agree with your research on that file. It appears it's not necessary for your machine to function properly. I think you have two options: 1. Replace the file 2. Remove whatever it is that's trying to load the file. Could you please post your complete Hijack This! log file? Are you familiar & comfortable working with your system registry (in case you may have to remove it that way)? If not, I have links to tools that could assist you with registry edits.

Micah 6:8 thank you for replying. My HJT logfile has been posted in the HJT forum as IPVNMon.vxd thread. Thanks very much. I've looked at the log and I didn't see anything I could easily tell was related. Maybe you can. Thanks again. Jonathan

hmm.. removing vxd's is deffinately NOT a good idea. Get your 98 cd and put it in the drive. Click start, then run and type c:\Windows\System\Sfc.exe.

We weren't removing it. Something else had already done that for us. We were just getting rid of the "file missing" error when he booted. :blink:

I apologize for bumping this topic back to the top, but I feel there needs to be clarification made for anyone reading this topic.

Obviously this:

2. Remove whatever it is that's trying to load the file.


Should only be done if:

1. This cannot be done:

1. Replace the file


OR

2. You have determined that the particular "missing file" is not necessary for the stable operation of the computer, and the software contained thereon.

I "did my homework" before offering the advice contained here:

I stand behind my advice offered.

I feel that my ability to offer good, sound, advice is being brought into question here.

I also contend that the advice offered was sound.

Apology accepted. However, it seems it wasn't necessary because you were not at fault here. It appears I have taken what you said in the wrong manner. I offer my sincerest and humblest apologies for taking what you said in the wrong manner. :oops:
