Error En Windows System Vmm32 Vxd
Roy Lehrer Everything in this article applies to all versions of Windows 9X including the recently released Windows 98 Second Edition versions. Rumors: Before I go into the details of telling you how to rebuild a corrupt vmm32.vxd file, let me first say with very strong emphasis that there is no truth to the reports that Win9X does not install all required *.vxd files during installation. While it's possible that such a bug may have existed in a very early Win98 beta release (going back to when it was called https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/191874 Memphis and not Win98), there is no such bug, nor has there ever been such a bug in any released version of Win95 thru Win98 Second Edition. There are various web sites where you can read about this non-existent bug that I think is plain hogwash. My experience says that such sites are incorrectly informing you that during Win9X installation, some http://www.helpwithwindows.com/techfiles/vmm32.html required *.vxd files do not get installed and that you have to install them yourself manually, and that these "missing" files are the cause of at least some of your problems. Again I say hogwash. Some of these sites go on even further to tell you that you can check to see if any *.vxd files are missing by using Device Manager (from System Manager in the Control Panel) and using the Driver File Details tab and that if you find entries containing 'vmm32', there's a good chance you need to extract and then install these files manually. Some go on to more explicitly tell you that if you see entries that look like C:\Windows\System\vmm32.vxd (configmg.vxd) that you do have to extract the *.vxd file manually from your Win98 CD cab files and put them in your \Windows\system\iosubsys directory after which the Driver File Details will show C:\Windows\System\configmg.vxd which is the correct way an entry should look. As I just said I think this whole issue is just plain old-fashioned hogwash. Someone who doesn't/didn't have the slightest idea of what vmm32.vx

The only information I can find about this problem is that the file is required by Windows and the computer wouldn't boot at all if it was really missing or damaged. This computer boots with no error messages and runs perfectly until I try to restart in MS-DOS mode. Back to
