Hi netters!

I've used Windows 3.1 with no problem for months.  But yesterday, I decided
to defrag my hard disk and put device drivers in the very front of disk
to speed up the boot time.  So I ran Norton Speedisk, and it went fine.
But then I tried to run Windows, and now I'm getting this weird error msg
saying C:\WINHIMEM.VXD is missing.  But I have never seen that file in my
disk!  I know what I put in my root directory including the files with
hidden flags.  I looked everywhere including /windows, /windows/system,
and even original diskettes, but couldn't find that file.  The windows
still run though in 386 Enhanced mode despite of the error message.
I have Norton Desktop for Windows ver 2.0 also installed with Win 3.1.
Maybe the missing file is from NDW package??
This error message is very annoying and I'm afraid Windows might crash in any
minute.  
So please help me to find the missing file and the origin of this file.
Thanks!
