Perhaps Subject should add: and/or Repair SYSTEM.ini, but I'm too inexperienced to know.
A result of downloading Panda and removal of Norton AV is StartUp screen saying "Cannot find.. device file ... or application...
system.ini file refers to this device file ...", etc.What I do not find in any of the replies to an earlier posting on this subject is exact path to REINSTALL the needed file.
No difficulty going through HKey_LocalMachine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Vxd\shlddtv.
BUT WHAT path from there -- or from anywhere else -- to REINSTALL? And without a CD disc or use of SafeMode, please.
Cordially, RO

Thanks, DAVEINCAPS:
I did that. But deleting that reference does not reinstall! THE NEED IS TO RESTORE that damn driver file so at StartUp don't get screen, "...Cannot find...", etc.
Can you help? If don't have path to reinstall (without CD disc and without use of SafeMode) can you email (not as ttachment) a copy of the file I can copy/paste -- including info where to paste?
Cordially, RO

"deleting that reference does not reinstall!"
Well, of course not - if you are still recieving 'file missing' messages then you didn't actually remove the reference to it.
"without CD disc and without use of SafeMode"
Gosh - lots of conditions(?)

Yeah, the typical error message usually refers to either the registry or system.ini as being the calling location.
If you deleted the registry references, take a look at system.ini. You can use sysedit or, since it's just a text file, you can use notepad and open c:\windows\system.ini.

It looks like it's a Panda file. So if you want to reinstall the file you probably need to reinstall Panda.
All the directions I've found for removing the error message indicate it's in the registry.

In case it is not clear, the reason that it keeps asking for that file is because it has been removed leaving a remnant (in the registry most likely, but possibly in system.ini) which means your system keeps calling for it.
The assumption is that you don't need that file but just have to stop the system asking for it. See the info already given.
If you do want Panda then fine, you re-install Panda and that will also stop the error message.
