Need Help From Computer "Gurus"
Can any of you computer Gurus offer suggestions with what is going on with my system?
Two days ago when I first turned on my system it was having problems. Getting fatal exception errors, this or that program performing illegal operation, and "locking up and crashing." Even if I hit the Ctrl, Alt, Delete keys all at once it wouldn't respond or restart. Would have to hit the "reset" button to get it to reboot and it would open in "Safe Mode." Did diagnostics, all the maintenance systems, etc. Went into system tools and under "problems" it showed that my Graphics Card was problematic. It's a 6 month old Asus, nvidia Geforce4 MX4000 graphics card. It showed that some of the drivers were missing. I "reloaded" my drivers and now in the system tools/harware profile it shows that it is OK.
I'm no longer getting any errors, freeze-ups and everything seems fine. However now, whenever I first turn my system on and it goes thru start-up, it posts the usual info and then I get a screen, like all DOS, that says that it can't find a file. It says that it recognizes the file in the registry, but it can't find it anywhere. It says that some of the programs needing this file, it doesn't list any specific ones, may not function properly, including Windows. At the end it says the file is "vredir.vxd" Then it says to press any key to continue.
I press the space-bar and after 30 seconds or so the screen changes to blank back ground color and a box comes up that says;
"Unable to load Dynamic Link Library msnp32.dll. The system cannot find the file specified. Some or all of the following feature is not available. Below that and indented it says Microsoft Network. Under this is a box with OK in it. I click the box and the system then finishes loading and everything seems to be operating OK. However, there is a real faint white line running horizontally across my monitor, barely noticable.
I've run "scan disk" and files and folders and it dosn't show any file missing or corrupted etc.
I know this is a long post, but I'm just waiting for the thing to "Crash" completely at any time. I thought before I took it into the shop, maybe some who post on here, and are knowledgeable about computers could offer some suggestions as to what is going on and what to do!

Will look around a little I may have made a copy of the web page. And if for some reason you don't have your install disk e-mail me and I'll send you the files you need.
