Hi Brian,

Thanks, the first link seems to have done the trick - into my bookmarks it
goes!

Hah!! Chalk up another one for the VxdFix! Over 200 hits on Google
for
"vxdfix", although I found a problem with the batch file method and
most
sites touting the fix - two files go into system folder and the other
5
go into vmm32 subfolder. So I cooked up this inf file to do it right.
Notice the website embedded in the file so that one can go see what
the
heck the vxdfix is. Copy and Paste the following into Notepad, Save
As
VxdFix.inf and then right click it and choose install.

-------------
; VxdFix.Inf - install this inf file to correct lack of proper vxd
; inclusion into vmm32.vxd at Windows install time. These 'missing'
; files will fix a lot of BSODs, hesitations, and shutdown problems.
