File VMM32.VXD missing or corrupt

That’s what my desktop PC is showing when I try to boot it. Initially it was saying Can’t Find SYSTEM.INI :confused:

I can get into DOS from a system restore disk and have tried using Second Chance. I have tried C:\WINDOWS and SYSTEM.INI is there (access denied). VMM32.VXD ain’t. I have a system boot disc on CD, but DOS does not recognise the drives D:\ and E:\ and looking at the directory on the CD, VMM32.VXD is not listed anyway. I don’t have the original discs. - I fell for one of these systems that only give you a Restore Pack, and I don’t fancy having the whole hard drive reformatted. :cry:

Running on Windows ME and having to post this from a rather tired Laptop. :smiling_imp:

Any (constructive) advice would appreciated. :blush:

Not sure if I can help Krankee but seeing as you’ve had no replies yet I’ll give it a go.

I assume from the “VMM32.VXD” that you may have just installed a scanner driver??

Are you able to boot in safe mode?

Thanks for the help, but the determination was that the hard drive had ‘turned turtle’.
