Angry WIN 98SE file missing

Hello, I have a friend that has a problem with a missing file on her computer. The file VMM32.VXD has somehow gone awol. I have a win 98se disk which will allow me to extract the file but I have no idea on how to do this.

When she boots up her computer it recognizes the drives but windows won't boot because of the missing file. It won't even let me reinstall win98 either.

Can aynone help?

Thanks,

Tim L

Does she have her Windows CD in the drive??

Is so, remove it and reboot again.

And, DO NOT extract the file from the Windows CD. It is only a shell for the real one that is built at Windows install time.

[. . . galaxian is referring to not extracting the VMM32.VXD file from your Windows Installation CD (or .cab files on the hard drive) . . . He's right about that! - - -> the file mentioned in the Microsoft Knowledge Base articles that Lobos posted (Dibeng.dll), though, is OK to extract if you follow the directions in the article carefully . . .]
