network card on HP with win 98

I am trying to set up a home network. I installed an
ethernet adapter. The network wizard said all was
installed and to reboot. Now I am getting a message:
vvinesd.386 (refering to a driver? or the network) at
start up and I cannot get into any of my files.
HELP
I have a recovery disk. Any ideas on what area to back up
so I don't lose everything.
