Microsoft Windows 95
SYMPTOMS
When you start your computer, you may receive the following error message:
Cannot find a device file that may be needed to run Windows
or a Windows Application.
The windows registry or System.ini file refers to this device
file but the file no longer exists.

If you still want to use the application associated with this device
file, try reinstalling the application to replace the missing file.
Vserver.vxd
When a computer attempts to reconnect a mapped network drive to your
computer, the following error message may occur on that computer:
The following error occurred while reconnecting <drive>: to
\\<computername>\<sharename>
Permanent connection not available.
Do you want to restore this connection the next time you log on?
If someone attempts to access shared files on your computer using a
Universal Naming Convention (UNC) connection, he or she may receive the
following error message:
\\<computername>
The network connection cannot be found.
These error messages may occur even though file and printer sharing for
Microsoft Networks is installed and enabled on your computer.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if either of the following conditions exists:
- The Vserver.vxd file is missing or damaged in the Windows\System
folder.
- The DeviceVxds value with a value data of Vserver.vxd is missing or
damaged in the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\
NetService\0000
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, use the appropriate method.
NOTE: If the Sharing command is missing from the context menu when you
right-click a file, folder, or drive, use method 1.
Method 1
Extract a new copy of the Vserver.vxd file from your original Windows
95/98 disks or CD-ROM to the <drive>:\<windows>\system folder, where
<drive> is the drive on which Windows 95/98 is installed, and <windows> is
the folder in which Windows 95/98 is installed.
If you are using Windows 95, you can extract the Vserver.vxd file from
the following locations:
- The Win95_12.cab cabinet file on the Windows 95 CD-ROM.
- The Win95_13.cab cabinet file on the original Windows 95 DMF disks.
- The Win95_20.cab cabinet file on the original Windows 95 non-DMF
disks.
- The Win95_19.cab cabinet file on the Windows 95 OEM Service Release
2 CD-ROM.
