Learn to rebuild the Windows registry from DOS

Aug 7, 2000
John Kowaleski

Explains how to edit the registry from DOS.

Use all lower case letters in the search box.

I have never been ablr to recover from acorrupt .vxd file without performing a Windows install.
I would delete the file (Windows\system; \iosubsys; vmm32)
Boot from a startup disk, and re-install W98.

Remember that the most common cause of corrupt .vxd files is memory problems.
Either bad or incompatible memory will cause .vxd files to self destruct.
