On startup, my computer goes to DOS and reads "32.vxd is
required to run Windows. this file is not in your PATH,
you may need to reinstall Windows."
I've tried to reinstall windows but can't. I have both
the Windows 98 cd rom and startup disk. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

32.vxd ?? Did you get the name right? Is it vmm32.vxd by chance?

Saying you cannot install Windows is not helpful--tell why you cannot
install Windows.
