A few weeks ago I was going through some files on my
laptop.  Well, I accidentally deleted some files that
Windows 95 needs to run.  Well, when I shutdown the
computer for the night and turned it on in the morning
well in middle of it's setup, in DOS mode it says,

"VMM32.VXD is required to run windows.
If this file is not in your PATH, you may need to
reinstall Windows."

    Well, I had previous help but it didn't fix the
problem.  Here is what I was told to do from someone else
who helped me.

1. At the DOS Prompt, type in:
CD c:\windows (and press enter).
2. You should see the c:\windows prompt now.
3. Type in this command:
CD System (and press enter).
4. You should now see the c:\windows\system prompt.
5. Type in this command:
DIR VMM32.* (and press enter).
NOTE: The "*" is produced by pressing SHIFT 8.

He also told me to try this...

1. At the DOS Prompt, type in this command:
CD c:\windows\system
2. You should now see the c:\windows\system prompt.
3. Next, type in this command:
COPY A:\vmm32.vxd (and press enter)
4. That should copy the file over to the system folder.
NOTE: If that fails, do this as Step 3:
- Type in A: (press enter)
- Type in: COPY a:\vmm32.vxd c:\windows\system
(Press enter).
5. The file should copy over.
6. All should be well.

    Well, his suggestions didn't work.  My laptop kept
saying something like, "0 files found".
    Since this is an old laptop, well I have to switch
drive D (CD ROM)whenever I need to use Drive A (Floppy).  
I just thought that I should add that in.  Also I still
have the CD ROM to install Windows 95.  So there is no
need for me to go to a store and buy an operating system.
    Please help me!  This laptop may be old but it does
its job.  All that I use it for is school, also to do
research on the internet.
