Another Windows98 problem : C:\PROGRA~1\SYMANTEC\SYMEVNT.386

While booting, error message prompt :
Cannot find a device file that maybe needed to run
windows or a windows applications.
The windows registry or system.ini file refers to this
device file, but the device file, but the device file
no longer exists.
If you deleted this file on purpose, try uninstalling
the associated application using its uninstal or setup
program.
If you still want to use the application associated
with this device file, try reinstalling that
application to replace the missing file.
C:\PROGRA~1\SYMANTEC\SYMEVNT.386

I think it is due to improper delete of Norton Virus Utility, is there any easy way to remove the error message ?

Thanks !

Go to Symantec's site and download RNAV and SYMCLEAN. These should remove the remnants for you.
