I think i deleted a file is wasn't suposed to how do i fix this problem. All i can use is msdos.
The error message reads:
VMM32.VXD IS REQUIRED TO RUN WINDOWS.
IF THIS FILE IS NOT FOUND IN YOUR PATH, YOU MAY NEED TO REINSTALL WINDOWS.
Can I fix this without reinstalling windows

That wont work due to the fact that i have no internet on my laptop
michael737n > try putting that file on a floppy and using msdos to get the file into the system directory or wherever else it goes.
all i have is a cd rom drive and no burner on any other computer
You don't have a floppy drive?
The file is still on the HD. It was just removed from the FAT. Depending on which version of Windows/DOS you have, you should be able to use undelete to restore the file.
c:\>cd\windows\system
c:\>undelete
This should restore the file, assuming the HD space where it was stored has not been overwritten. Deleting files does not get rid of them, it just tells the system the file no longer exists.
ok i typed
"cd\windows\system"
and my box replied
"C:\windows\system>"
them i typed undelete and my box replied
"bad comand or file name"
if you have a your windows disk just reinstall windows
when you type undelete, type this in after it
c:\windows\system>undelete VMM32.VXD
see if that works.
bad command or file name
What OS are we talking about??
If you have your original windows CD, put it in the cdrom drive.
go to that drive and use the EXTRACT command to extract the file from
one of the .CAB files.

:cool:
I gave me an error message that said
Bad comand or file name
Again, like cheyenne1212 said.. WHAT OS ? probably 98 or ME, right ?
This is what you would type (at your dos prompt) for win98se, another OS will be different. (omit quotes)
and this is assuming that D: is your cdrom drive
"extract /y /l c:\windows\system d:\win98\Win98_54.cab VMM32.vxd” (enter key)
(note all the correct spacings)
