Answer» <html><body><p>cannot get windows to start...says the VMM32.vxd is missing...windows can't start without it...I can't even get it to start in SAFE mode either...did a scanreg and picked an older registry that <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/workedralvaja-3284364" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WORKED">WORKED</a> at the time...picked it and it still did not help...does anybody have any clues to this problem...the computer is my older one, an HP Pavilion.<br/>would appreciate any suggestions...I must have screwed it up royally somehow...last time I had it running <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/right-239192" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about RIGHT">RIGHT</a> must have been in 2006 or maybe 2005??? Why are you still using Windows 98?<a href="http://www.easydesksoftware.com/news/news10.htm">http://www.easydesksoftware.com/news/news10.htm</a><br/><br/>reinstall windows 98 will be the best solution for meYou must have your w98 CD and the product key. If there is no valuable data on it, a format and reinstallation is the best way to go. If there is any data you want to keep, there are other ways. The reason for reinstalling is that VMM32.vxd is a file created by windows during installation. It is a compiled file consisting of many .vxd's.no I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/never-570518" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about NEVER">NEVER</a> had a windows 98 CD...the only thing that came with it was a system / application recovery CD's...the system does not recognize that I have a cdrom either...so anything that requires the CDrom to install something won't help me...the<br/>best I can do is work in <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/dos-432778" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DOS">DOS</a>...which is not much. I would start checking with friends/co-workers etc. to see if anyone has a CD you could borrow. The repairs needed will require a CD as 2KD suggested.<br/>There is a non-destructive re-install method for Win98 if yoj have basic DOS skills...<br/>Let us know.even if I could find a 98CD, I could not install it as my system doesn't "see" the cdrom<br/>on my computer...and yes I have basic DOS skills...sure would be great if I could do a fix through DOS...cause thats all I get when I start it up.Quote from: shmokey on November 05, <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/2007-290053" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 2007">2007</a>, 08:20:23 PM</p><blockquote>even if I could find a 98CD, I could not install it as my system doesn't "see" the cdrom<br/>on my computer...and yes I have basic DOS skills...sure would be great if I could do a fix through DOS...cause thats all I get when I start it up.<br/></blockquote><br/>There is still a way.
