I didn't realize that peripherals had files which were part of your
registry so I deleted all my Panasonic laser printer files on my hard
because I hadn't used it in 6 years.

I now know you can't delete any files concerning peripherals unless
they're plain text.

Now, when I boot up my PC in Windows 95 (b) I get the error message -
"Cannot find a device file that may be needed to run Windows or a
Windows application. 

The Windows registry System.INI files 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 uninstall or set up program. 

If you still want to use the application associated with this device
file, try re-installing that application to replace the missing file.

Then at the bottom of the page appears C:\KXP6X00\SUMOVMI.386
Press any key to continue

If I hit the space bar 2-3 times it loads the Windows 95 page with all
the icons with ana error message - KX-P6X00 Monitor warning  Cannot find
KX-P6X00 network module.

I click that and it goes away. 

I can then use all my programs, WordPerfect, Word, Excel, Netscape
Messenger and I can send and receive e-mail messages.

But it won't let me print to my HP III laser jet printer. If I try I get
the error message - specific backup folder no longer exists. You will
need to re-create it or specify a new one in Tools Settings.

I'm not sure what I should do now?

Someone said if I re-load all the old Panasonic laser printer files from
the 3 floppies that it may create a 2nd registry and create even more
problems than I have now.

I know nothing about creating or modifying the registry.

I had deleted all the files in the Recycled folder by the time I started
getting these messages.

So, I looked on the floppies and copied every file with a name similar
to "SUMOVMI" back on to the hard drive where the old files were. I
couldn't find the file SUMOVMI.386 anywhere on the 3 floppies.

Would anyone happen to have any constructive suggestions?

Thanks so much,

Charles.
