VMM32.VXD is a monolithic device driver that is custom-built for the individual machine upon which Windows is installed. it is created at the time of Windows setup. In most cases, loss of or damage to this file is best cured by re-installing Windows. There are some published procedures for recreating this file, but if you need to ask the question that you posted, the procedure is one that you'd best not attempt.

There are also some known conflicts that will cause this error to be displayed that can be solved without reinstallation of the operating system. Most notable of these is a UMAX scanner conflict.

Here are a couple of MSKB articles (#191874 and #311188) that may help...
