I am trying to help a friend out. He went to bootup this a.m. and got
an error message saying his vmm32.vxd file is missing or corrupt. I
found what appears to be the remedy, and I included it at the bottom
of this post. However, we got to step 6 and then could go no further.
We had the Win98 disc in, booted up with floppy and we changed the
prompt to E (which is the CD drive) and typed in DIR. It shows the
various files on the disk, but when we try and access them (step 7 and
beyond), we keep getting error messages that says bad command or file
name. Any suggestions on what we can do please?

Thanks in advance for your help!
