These error messages are often caused by faulty RAM on the computer.

To Re-create the Vmm32.vxd File
1. Restart your computer. For Windows 98, press and hold down the CTRL key
after your computer completes the Power On Self Test (POST), and then
choose
Command Prompt Only from the Startup menu.
2. Type the following line to change to the Windows\System folder:
cd \windows\system
3. Type the following line:
ren vmm32.vxd vmm32.old
4. Reinstall Windows 98.
FYI: I use the *vxd fix* on every install I do, client complaints about
random error messages are almost none. I've noticed a lot of the *other*
oddball errors seem to come from the *unused physical memory* dropping
below 20, even though the Resources are still above 40%. Check with a fresh
boot, load System Monitor, add item = Unused Physical Memory, minimize it and
run several apps as you normally would. The memory drops little by little,
once it reaches a certain point, these random *Explorer caused ...*,etc. errors
start.
