WinME

I need to find VMM32.VXD as it has been deleted or is
corrupted.I would like to install it again.Where can I find
it besides on the orginal cd.

Unfortunately VMM32.VXD is a rather special file and not to be found on the
Win Me CD or anywhere else for that matter, or to be more precise only the
stub file will be found on the Win Me CD. The reason being that VMM32.VXD is
a monolithic file that was built up from thirty or more other virtual device
drivers when the system was first installed with the actual files incorporated
in vmm32.vxd depending in part on your hardware and install options.

Are you sure that you have "lost" this file? Try booting to DOS and then at
the DOS prompt enter
DIR C:\VMM32.VXD /S
Does this find the file? If yes, is it in your windows\system folder?

This is what came up:Volume in drive C has no label
Volume Serial Number is 3B6E-1103
Then this came upirectory of C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
VMM32 VXD 1,032,956 04-17-03 9:54a VMM32.VXD
1 files 1,032,956 bytes
Total files listed:
1 files 1,032,956
0 dirs 31,711.32 MB free

So I guess it is there,how do I check to see if its
corrupted or try to reastablish it.thanks

That's good news and to be honest not totally unexpected. From the DIR
listing it looks OK and the chances are that it is undamaged. It might help
if you were to post why you are trying to replace this file such as maybe any
error messages you see when you try to boot your system.

The reason is my system keeps going into a saft mode and
also keeps going into a blue screen saying system is may be
busy push any key or restart pc.Plus one of the first times
it did this a black screen came up and said VMM32.VXD was
lost or corrupted, so I took it to mean that VMM32.VXD was
the problem.
And I do appricate your time and help MIKE.

Sorry for not replying earlier, I seem to have overlooked your response.

What changes did you make around the time this problem started (going into
Safe Mode)? Did you install some new hardware or update a driver? Did you
try using system restore to restore your PC to the state it was in before
these problems started? It may though now be too late to use system restore
if the problem started more than a week ago.
