recently i recd the following msg on starting my comp.--Cannot find a device
file that may be needed to run Windows or a windows application
The windows registry or system . ini file refers to this device file but
the device file no longer exists.
if you deleted this file on purpose try uninstalling the associated
application using its uninstall or setup program.
If you still want to use the application associated with this device file
try reinstalling that application to replace the missing file
CSHOOK . VXD

im using win98se--but have no idea what to do--please help

Did you uninstall CleanSweep, a Norton Util? If so, reinstall if you want
to use it
