    win95 vmm32 missing

    my next door neighbor couldnt load his win95 on the comp.
    it got past the post,then said vmm32 missing,i went to safe mode,and dos prompt,put in vmm32 file from win98se,but still didnt work.
    i then had to do a clean install for him.
    what i would like to know is.
    how i could have done it different from safe mode,to get the vmm32 file back into win95??

    btw,i could get into safe mode,but it would not allow me to get into windows95.i dont know much about working from safe mode.like getting up the bootlog,and things.

    The VMM32.VXD is created at the time Windows is installed. If this is a fresh installation, it is easier to reinstall. You can rebuild the VMM32.VXD. But as you can see, that can be complicated.

    I have some tips at Windows 95 Troubleshooting that might help you use things like Bootlog.

    i went into reading about building the vmm32,and it is very interesting,but as you say,very complicated,but at least i do know now what the vmm32 means,and does.
    i am going to read the web address you gave me,and hope to know more about the bootlog and things.
    cant ever know enough about these comps.
    thanks for the info.
