Hi Jack
Do these messages appear when you try to run some program?
(What program?) Or do they appear at boot?
Have you looked to see if you actually have this file anywhere
on your computer? (Use Find or Search in the Start button's
menu.)
If the error messages appear at boot, maybe you should open
Win.ini using Notepad and delete (or remark out by putting
a semi-colon at the very front of the line) the line that
references INETD.EXE. (First remove the "read only" check
mark from the WIN.INI file properties tab...if necessary...so
that changes will "take".) WIN.INI is in your c:\windows folder
(\WINNT folder for Win2k).
I don't have an INETD.EXE file anywhere on either my Win98SE
or Win2k computers. (That may just mean I don't run some
program that you installed.) My point is that removing the
entry in WIN.INI is not going to hurt because the file is
not part of Windows and your computer can't seem to find it
anyway.

Bill
