vmm32.vxd unable to load,no scanners

[ami123]

I have been tring to downgrade a winNT machine to win98(I need tio use my USB webcam).I have formatted my drive and tried multiple 98 installation,but I always end up with
C:\Windows\system\vmm32.vxd: Missing/unable to load.

I dont have any scanners etc connected to my PC.The peripherals are mouse/keyboard and speakers. The PC is an old Micron clientpro P-2 300 MHz with 64 MB ram.

I have even tried modifying the BIOS option of 'operating system is a plug and play OS' but it didnt make any difference.

thanks
