Mots,
What files are missing exactly ?
Where have they gone...?
Check your windows\system\vmm32 directory to see what's there.
Try remming (with a ;) the lines out of system.ini - you may not need them.

If You run Setup over an existing Windows 95 installation, you
receive the following two options:
- Restore Windows files that are changed
x- Copy all Windows files again
Both of these options verify the validity of Windows 95 files.
Setup uses the Setuplog.txt file
to determine which files to check and marks each good file with
an "S." This mode also rebuilds the Vmm32.vxd file and recopies
any file with a lost long filename.
