USB devices not working, missing ntkern.vxd
« on: August 07, 2006, 10:01:27 AM »
I just got a new mp3 player, as well as a usb flash drive, and they won't work with my Window ME. They DO work with an XP, but I don't have one.

I tried looking in the disk that came with the mp3 player for drivers, but it doesn't have any since my computer is already supposed to work with this thing. I also tried downloading one from the company's website, but the only one I found there didn't help. And the Flash Drive only contains a driver for Windows 98, it didn't come with a CD, and there's nothing on the site.

I found that I don't have:

USBSTOR.SYS
USBNTMAP.SYS
VMM32.VXD (NTKERN.VXD)

I did find a lot of solutions to the ntkern.vxd poblem, but all for Win98 except one, which requires the ME startup CD that I don't have.

Does anyone know where I can get the startup CD? Or is there another way to fix my problem without it?  :-?

I DO have a 98 startup CD, but I'm afraid that trying to extract files from it would screw up my computer.  :-/

I posted this on Yahoo Answers, but that was a stupid idea in the first place. No one there knows anything more about fixing computers than I do, so I came here instead.

Any ideas?

RE:squirrel
Is this detailed enough? I don't know too much else about this. (*computer illiterate*)

I'm running on a Compaq iwth Windows Millenium Edition
AMD Duron Processor
128MB RAM

The devices I have are an Imation 512MB Clip Flash Drive and a CreAtive Zen Nano Plus Mp3 player, both USB devices.
My computer does regocnize that they're there, and calls it a USB Mass Storage Device, but that's about all.

we need all the details.  Specs of the PC? Specs of the device?  anything else you can tell us?

I cannot vouch for these drivers, but I have used this site with some success in the past.  Use at your own risk:

VMM32.VXD is already functioning on your computer, or you would not be able to start Windows Me:
