Windows ME and vmm32.vxd
I've a problem with a computer using Windows ME.
The computer won't load up Windows either normally or in Safe Mode. When starting up the following message appears: there is a missing or corrupt file c:\windows\system\vmm32.vxd This has only happened since the owner loaded a game in the CD-Rom drive. After that this prob has started. I've tried using a bootdisk and in "minimal start up" using scanreg/restore and fix and scandisk and there are no faults. Then when the bootdisk is removed and reboot....the same appears. Also can't swap the floppy drive to C drive to start up with Windows ME disk either. Can anyone help please

Thanks Cricket.
Only problem with what the link suggets is......I can't swap the comp to start with CD-Rom drive insread of Floppy. It will not recognise the D Drive at all. Therfore I cannot boot up with the Windows ME disk. |

That suggests a hardware problem. Are you sure the CD-ROM drive is working? Is the drive jumpered correctly? Is the IDE connected correctly?
Try replacing the IDE cable. Try that CD-ROM drive in another computer. Cricket
