Computer will not boot up.

My laptop will not Boot up, the following message
appears on the screen.

"The following file is missing or
corrupted: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\VMM32.VXD"

What can I do?

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.
