Computer will not boot up.
See MS KB258471 - "Error Message: The Following File Is Missing or Corrupted:
C:\Windows\Ifshlp.sys" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=258471 VMM32.VXD is a composite file that is built from thirty or more other files when Win Me is installed and differs from system to system depending upon the hardware in use. If you boot to DOS using a floppy can you see if you have the file vmm32.vxd in your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder? If not then you may well have to reinstall Win Me. One way you can check whether vmm32.vxd is missing or not is by typing the following at the A:\ prompt: DIR C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\VMM32.VXD If present you should see something like: VMM32 VXD 1,032,968 15/08/00 14:34 VMM32.VXD (Don't worry about the details, your date and size will most likely be different) but if absent you will see: File Not Found If the file is still present, and I hope it is, see MS KB258471 (above) which explains how to proceed to hopefully fix the problem. -- Mike Maltby MS-MVP traker wrote: My laptop will not Boot up, the following message appears on the screen.
