vspf_hk.vxd

Have a win98 machine that at boot up get the message that the system.ini is
looking for a file vspf_hk.vxd I push enter and the machine boots. How do I
find out what application this file is for, or how do I stop this message
from appearing at boot.

I can boot via step-by-step and choose not to boot that driver, but when I
reboot normally I still receive the error

VXD files are usually called by SYSTEM.INI
to set up scanners or other "devices." If you
cannot locate file vspf_hk.vxd on your C: and
do not know what it is, you can edit SYSTEM.INI
to remove the file call (by typing semicolon ; and a
space at the leftmost end of whatever line refers
to vspf_hk.vxd

I have already looked at the system.ini by going using the sysedit command,
but I see nothing related to this file at all.

Try using "Step by step confirmation"(tap the F8 key during bootup).

The idea behind "Step by step confirmation" is to take note of the process
executed immediately before the error and using this information to
diagnose the problem. If the error is occurring when the Windows
registry is being loaded, start regedit, expand the following key, press
"Ctrl-F" and search it for "vspf_hk.vxd". If you find it, right-click
"StaticVxD" in the right window, select "Delete" and confirm the deletion.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD
