How to Repair the Vmm32.vxd File

You will need to know where your Windows Installation files are located. If your files are on a CD you will need to reboot and load your CD-ROM with the Windows CD in it. Mine are on my hard drive at C:WindowsOptionsCabs, so therefore I will move my DOS prompt to C:WindowsOptionsCabs>. Make sure you have Extract.exe in your Windows installation files' folder. If not, you will need to do this from the WindowsCommand folder, adjusting the paths accordingly.

Now at the C:WindowsOptionsCabs> type :
Extract /A CabFile_Starting# /E FileName_Wanted /L VMM32_Folder
Press Enter

The /A switch tells Extract to search all the cabinet file from the cabinet number entered up.

CabFile_Starting# = the first cabinet file number you have after the Precopy cab(s). Mine is Base2.cab, so I will replace this variable with Base2.cab. The /A tells Extract to search all the Cabinet files. If you are using the WindowsCommand> prompt you will need to enter the full path, I would need to use C:WindowsOptionsCabsBase2.cab

FileName_Wanted = The name of the file in the list. In my case I will replace this variable with vdd.vxd. The /E switch tells Extract what file name to search for and extract.

VMM32_Folder = The path to the Vmm32 Folder. In my case I will replace this variable with C:WindowsSystemVmm32. The /Lswitch tells Extract the location to extract the file to.
