    I think you can safely surpress this using msconfig.exe / Start-Up tab
    it is not normally needed by Win98/Win98SE.
    An Internet search will give you more info ... "Microsoft VMM32 Old "
    regards

    First, be Carefull->VMM32.VXD is required to run Windows.

    What changes did you make to your system right before this started?

    Edit you autoexec.bat file and post the contents here.

    Remove that entry (untick).
    Open Explorer, browse to c:\Newfolder, and delete it.
    Restart.

    In case you are lost as to which item Reboot is referring to, it is the first line listed in Autoexec.Bat.
    LH C:\NEWFOL~1\MF.EXE
