er there is no problem every pc i use has this as the generic safeboot type virtual device driver
as long as you have the latest drivers for your specific graphics card you'll be fine ptobably the best thing to do is every now and then check your graphics card vendors website most put the latest drivers there.

ps why do you say  vmm32.vxd is not graet and you need the vdd.vxd ?

I have seen on sites that using vmm32.vxd is slower than the file it has in paratheses.  I am going to reject your answer because it does not solve my problem.  I want to get a copy of vdd.vxd or find out for sure why I don't need it.

hi again
vmm32.vxd is "custom-built" by Windows during the install process based on the hardware Windows finds. Vmm32.vxd is actually a collection of other vxd's (a list of them are in the registry) needed for that particular machine. you can extract the other vxd's from windows but you will gain nothing
and are just wasting disk space because they are already wrapped up inside vmm32.vxd
 ie: vmm32.vxd is vdd.vxd in a wrapper that windows creates.
Regards Barry
ps...
if you still want to use vdd.vxd you can use system file checker to extract the file from one of the cab files in windows cd
and place it in system\vmm directory .if windows finds a vxd file outside of vmm32 it uses that file instead .windows will presume it is a newer file this is how ms etc can update files without rebuilding vmm32.vxd.

ps system file checker is start \ run \sfc.exe

This is windows 95, no system file checker on it.  Okay, I will see what others say about it.  If there is no solution, I think I will have this question deleted.

ok then good luck and merry christmas

Thanks you to.

bit more info
i have looked in win95 cab files and found the one your after its win95_06.cab so if you if you insert win95 cd in d:\ (cd rom drive) open a dos prompt and type the following at dos prompt it should place it in temp directory then if you move it to vmm32 dir in system, reboot and see if changes have been made

extract /A /L C:\windows\Temp D:\win95\win95_06.cab vdd.vxd

i've tried it and it works ok let me know if it worked for ya
regards Barry

sorry extract it then move it to windows\system and reboot and it does exactly what you wanted in your question and ive learnt something too :-) sorry to doubt you in first place if you cant extract the file i'll mail it you if you want just let me know
Barry

win95_06.cab is where the file is. Use WINZIP 7 to extract it. to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM and Reboot.

Thanks, I will get back to you on the success of it (I am busy now with Christmas).

inthe is going to get the points, istal.  He has already told me that.  Please read the comments!

thankyou p for putting that right i was'nt going to say anything being christmas and that.
as you said the answer is in my last 2 comments and it works perfectly i've done it on 4 more pc's since all no probs .i dont know if it is making any difference though (speedwise)how would you check that? fps maybe? you say you want your comp running fast as posible does that mean your also an overclocker :-)
let me know if all went well
Barry
 

inthe, you may lock the question for the points.  Thank you for your help.  I don't think it sped it up any, but it works nonetheless so I'll just keep it.

BTW, just to elaborate a bit, this is the computer I did it on.  Our OTHER computer (P150), was also too slow for my taste so I overclocked it to 166.  Someday, I'll try for 200.  But in the meantime it is okay. hahahaa :-)

Think so?  I'll try it someday.  Don't have the time now though :-)  Thanks for the assistance.
