Cannot find a file which run the window

Your PC powers up correctly, it passes the POST, all drives are detected correctly, but Windows does not load automatically. Instead you see the following error message:

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.
(filename)
Press a key to continue

This happens when a Windows system file is renamed or deleted by accident. Most importantly, when you see this screen, stop and write down the name of the file in question. Then push a key and see if Windows will continue to load after all, often it will. To correct the problem, you need to extract a copy of the missing file from the Windows Cab files. If you have Windows 98, this can be done pretty easily if you can still get into Windows with a command called System File Checker, or short SFC. If you cannot get into Windows anymore or don’t have Windows 98, you need to use the Extract command from the DOS prompt.
