You need to restart your computer. C:\WINDOWS\system\vmm32.vxd: Missing/unable to load. I have had this message twice - when it showed the first time (this morning) i reinstalled that didnt help Could that file be corrupt on my install cd? |

Another thing you may want to try is boot with a 98 Boot disk go to a command prompt cd "C:\WINDOWS\system" then do a dir vmm32.vxd see if its there if not copy that file from another 98 machine to that directory location |
