vfintd.386

Owing to a hard disk crash, I lost some important files that I really need. Looking at some old diskettes, I found the old backup diskettes containing these lost files. The problem is that an old version of mwbackup was used. I have a copy of the old backup program but the computer is asking that the file vfintd.386 be installed in the windows system directory. Where can I find this file? I'm presently using win98, is it safe to install this file?
