It is a virtual device driver. When next you boot into windows, go to start/run, type in SFC, and hit enter.  Put your Win 98 se CD in your drive and select restore file on the SFC dialog box.  Type in vmm32.vxd and type in the location, your CD drive:\win98\.  Click restore.  See if that solves the problem by putting in a fresh copy.


Yesterday when I attempted to boot up,just after the WIN98 logo appeared the screen turned black and white and a message appeared which stated to wit:
>unpacking vmm32.vxd
>C:\windows\system\vmm32\vmm32.vxd failed
>packing vmm32.vxd
>library invalid or wrong version

>"blinking cursor for about three minutes and, then it continues to boot up into win98se.

>What would this indicate to anyone who has knowledge of this. vmm32.vxd is a virtual device driver, is it not?  Thanks for any and all help on this one.  Ed Bogert
