Hi Sheila - See here and do EXACTLY what it says: Virtual Device Driver
Error Message in 16-Bit MS-DOS Subsystem
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q254914 NOTE: You
MUST have Admin privileges and you MUST use Regedt32.exe

Or, courtesy of Andrei "Ndi" Dobrin, you can download and try this:
http://www.ndi.ro/VDDFix.exe I haven't used this personally, but it has
been recommended to me. Use at your own risk.
