If you need to get this list and you are unable to boot to Windows, go to the Command prompt and at the C:\Windows> prompt type:
RegEdit /e Vmmlist.txt HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\VMM32Files
Press Enter.

tells me to do that and type that line in...when that line doesnt even fit...is there a way to break that line up?

Let me read up on it, they're wanting you to edit the registry.

OK. click start then click run. Type regedit. this will bring up your registry. From there it's just like looking up folders in "My Computer" which your going to have to do that too. The rest of that typing stuff at command is if you can boot up.

You might want to write the stuff down that's at the site. First go to "My computer" and go into C:\windows\system\Vmm32 folder and see what files are there. It should be the same that's in your registry. If not copy them from your registry into your C:\windows\system\Vmm32 folder.

Did you try typing all of that in the first time.
RegEdit /e Vmmlist.txt HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\VMM32Files ???


Ya, I think you got serious problems dude, even at that site, later on it keeps talking about loading in your CD and booting up which you can't do.
