NWLINK.VXD is the Microsoft driver for IPX/SPX Network compatible
protocol...   this error exists because you do not have this driver in your
C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM directory and you have loaded IPX/SPX network
protocol to run your Network.   You can do one of three things to solve
this issue:

1)  If you are using Windows98SE this file is in the NET9.CAB file.  Just
      use a program like Winzip to extract it out to your C:/WINDOWS/SYSTEM
      directory, (if your system has a different OS, look through the cab files); or,
2)  Remove the IPX/SPX protocol driver from your network configuration
      and just use NETBUEI;  or,
3)  Remove the IPX/SPX driver, reboot the system and then reinstall it,
      (this protocol is unnecessary unless you are connecting to a network
       running NOVEL or other third party software).
