Here is a small problem that irritates me on my new machine, with Windows 98. When I boot up the following message appears on the screen: Windows Networking Unable to load the dynamic link library msnp32.dll The system cannot find the file specified. Some or all of the following feature is not available Microsoft Network When I hit OK the boot up continues properly. It is a small inconvenience that I would like to get rid of. Any ideas?
