Errm......I'm not too sure that this 'missing vxd files' thing might not be
the computer equivalent of an urban legend.  I understand that these
supposedly missing files are actually located in a monolithic, or one-piece
file, from where the individual files are called as necessary.

This site has an interesting discourse on the matter:

However, always I'm willing to listen to informed opinion ;--))

The problem that you are having is that it is possible that 7 files were
not put on the system.  You can also get a fix for the VxD problem for
Win 98/98SE but not for Win ME at the following;

The VxD problem usually refers to key files that belong to Windows 98/ME
that may be damaged or missing. You can use System File Checker to
verify the integrity of your operating system files, to restore them if
they are corrupted, and to extract compressed files (such as drivers)
from your installation disk. You can start System File Checker by
clicking Start, highlighting Programs, pointing to Accessories,
selecting System Tools, and then clicking System Information. In System
Information, click Tools, and then click System File Checker. Otherwise,
you may need to reinstall Windows from scratch. I would try System File
Checker first and see if it solves the problem. If not, I would back up
my important files and reinstall Windows.
