   Greetings -   
      
   Well I have Googled all over and cannot find a fix that works.  This   
   appears to have been a well-documented problem early on with Win95.   
      
   I was forced to format the drive and reinstall Windows 95, a custom   
   NEC job with a special system software restoration CD.  It all went   
   well until I was setting up my ethernet card (Belkin).   
      
   I accidently selected and "installed" one of the Dec Pathworks   
   Ethernet options.  When I realised that this was not right, I went to   
   the Network panel and removed it.   
      
   However, during the boot I now get an error saying the "decpw.386" is   
   missing.  The boot stalls there waiting for any key to be pressed to   
   bypass the error.  It alkso suggests removing the program (done) or   
   editing SYSTEM.INI.   
      
   Of course, the only problem is that SYSTEM.INI has no refrence to this   
   missing file.   
      
   Dones anyone know of a Windows patch that will fix this that is still   
   available for download?  Or is there something I can add to SYSTEM.INI   
   to trick it into thinking its there?   
      
   Or does anyone have a copy of "decpw.386" they can send me and tell me   
   where to install it to get this error to go away.   
      
   DMK
