VMM32.VXD if I recall correctly is a stack of basic drivers
and other core software for windows. So you most definitely need
a re-install, but I don't see how the TFC patch could cause that file to
vanish.

I'll email this reply to you as a test of that address...

Doesn't have to make it vanish. All it has to do is remove the reference from you path statement. I don't have TFC on any Win9x machines so I can't say what the patch can and can't do to your startup files.

I had to reinstall IE after the update. It made everything on some sites black. I couldn't see anything except banners. It also locked up several main functions and crashes my computer once in a while.

Uh, no. VXDs and such are not found using the PATH enviroment
variable. Very few non-dos programs use PATH at all. In the case of
VMM32.VXD I believe it's just 'expected' to be in
bootdrive:\windows\system.
