80910	2002-09-19 02:30:00	I've got two files showind up missing after having installed a modem on a friends PC. OS is Win98 I've installed the driver, and it comes up in Device manager saying that it's missing the files: NTKERN.VXD and CONFIGMG.VXD I've got them from the microsoft site - Just went to the first thing that came up on google and then nicked them from the executable. What do I do with these to get the modem to stop saying that? Really urgent, Any comments or suggestions helpful Cheers Chilling_Silence	Chilling_Silence (9)

To resolve 20 to 50% of the system errors in any Win98 build, extract these vxd files manually from cabs 47 and 48 of your Windows 98 CD into c:\windows\system and c:\windows\system\vmm32. Here they are: vcomm.vxd vdmad.vxd configmg.vxd vdd.vxd vmouse.vxd ntkern.vxd vflatd.vxd Extract these files to both directories and reboot. Note: In Windows 98SE, the files are located in cabs 53 and 54.	godfather (25)

80913	2002-09-20 01:31:00	Hi, GF, The error message still comes up. It's missing the two files (code 2). I've reinstalled the driver several times, installed those files from the cabs mention (All the files in Both cabs) to the system and the vmm32 folders. Still no luck with it, as in the properties it comes up unable to initialize. Modem's in Ctrl Panel doesn't pick it up coz its not working properly either. It's not diabled, and has no conflicting IRQ's and stuff.... Is there anything else that can be done?? Cheers Chilling_Silence	Chilling_Silence (9)
80914	2002-09-20 02:20:00	Is there anything else that can be done? or is it hopeless?	Chilling_Silence (9)
80915	2002-09-20 02:49:00	Maybe you should try: Start > Run > regsvr32 <filename> > OK for each of those files. I dunno if it will work, but I reckon it's worth a shot. And I thought BG did get $1 for every time ...... :p	antmannz (28)

I looked at the system.ini file and saw garbage at the front of it. I deleted the garbage, saved the file, rebooted and both my PS2 and USB mice worked. Posting here in case I forget later and need a reminder to look at my system.ini file for corruption. For those of you who are mouse chanllenged: <ctl><esc> brings up the start menu. start notepad <alt> brings up the menu bar, use the arrow keys to File Open Open C:\windows\system.ini remove the garbage, save the file and reboot. Everything was fine after that for me.	Bruce123123 (1948)
80917	2008-01-31 06:45:00	Maybe you should try checking to see if there are any newer drivers or patches	IllegalCharacter (1949)
