VMM32.VXD file missing

[brighteyesgreen]

I have an emachines 400 Mhx running windows 98. It had been acting up with "Program has peformed an illegal action " on anything from Solitaire to Publisher. Then oneday, nothing. It said I had an error in my CONFIG.SYS file on line 19. I went ahead and reistalled windows, several times but all I get is;
VMM32.VXD is required to run Windows
If this file in not in your PATH, you may need to reinstall Windows.
Now what do I do? I've reinstalled Windows using every option.
Thanks for helping this newbie.
