Ahror,

The file "Filesec.vxd" is a 'virtual device driver' with this description:
"File Access Control Manager". It's an important file that deals with file
sharing protocol. The file should not be missing - some problem likely
caused windows to rename it, and as such, it's probably corrupt.

Because of the error you're getting, this site advises you to install the
Microsoft Client for Networks and TCP/IP, which should replace the file and
repair whatever problem caused the damaged file. Run windows help, and on
the ''Index" tab, type TCP/IP, then click "installing", for help with this
problem.

If that doesn't help, you can get the "filesec.vxd" file here:
http://marketwizz.net/windows95/win95b/FILESEC.VXD
If your are accessing the net and email without major problems, I would just
download the file, and put it in C:\windows\system, but I wouldn't advise
that approach unless the above method fails.
