Joe:
Seven vxd's are combined into vmm32.vxd and aren't installed on their own.
You can restore these vxd files to c:\windows\system and
c:\windows\system\vmm32 using extract.exe or system file checker. After you
reboot, your system will use these vxd's instead of the ones in vmm32. This
has been known to improve stability and eliminate vxd problems and errors
pertaining to vmm32. The files are as follows:
vmouse.vxd, ntkern.vxd, vcomm.vxd, vdd.vxd, vflatd.vxd, configmg.vxd and
vdmad.vxd
