Windows Forum / Windows 95 / January 2004can't get out of DOS and get Win95
I was getting a "can't find rundll32.exe" file. Tried reinstalling Win95 and am now stuck in DOS. Now I'm getting a "System.INI" file is damaged. It says I may need to reinstall "WINDOWS\SYSTEM\VMM32\vwin32.VXD" ??? I would like to recover some files from this...but if not, can I load my XP into the old 486 system???? Or link them?

Sounds like your system is flaky; if so, re-installing huge wads of OS code through the lens of flaky hardware is likely to worsen things++ See http://users.iafrica.com/c/cq/cquirke/bthink.htm - "before you think (about troubleshooting specifics), check the baseline" >I would like to recover some files from this...but if >not, can I load my XP into the old 486 system???? Or >link them? Don't go back into Windows until you know: - your fans are OK and system busses not overclocked - RAM is OK (multiple passes in MemTest86 or SIMMTester) - hard drive is physically OK (not "just one bad sector") - file system is OK - you have 30M+ or so free space on C: - you have formally excluded malware Meanwhile, pull your crucial files from DOS mode. >--------------- ----- ---- --- -- - - - Dreams are stack dumps of the soul >--------------- ----- ---- --- -- - - - Rename the "c:\windows\system\vmm32" directory, then try reinstalling Windows again.
