VCM directory

Me again, I had a problem you helped fix elsewhere. It was related to a CWS find that cwshredder wouldn't fix. I think I got rid of it. New problem (maybe).

I have a windows\VCM directory. I know from browsing these forums that it's a version conflict manager, or at least it's supposed to be. My question is why would it be storing supposedly overwritten things that I didn't write?

examples:
DXDIAG.EXE v 4.7.1.3000 in system directory.

DXDIAG.EXE v 4.8.0.400 in VCM directory with a bunch of other files created yesterday (dll's, .000, VXD files, etc). All I did was install iexplore5.5, I didn't install directx of any sort unless it comes with it.

BUT per this post I see that vcmui.exe is supposed to run the conflict manager. vcmui doesn't exist anywhere on my drive.

Curiouser and curiouser. Can anyone comment so I can sleep in peace tonight?

Kevin

>First what windows do you have? If you have Windows ME you should have dxdiag on it and should go to windows update to update it. Also the vcm file would have dll and vxd files if you have ME. As far as vcmui that is not for windows me. That is for Windows 98.as I read in this article. http://www.video-drivers.com/drivers/24/24655.htm Hope this helps.

This is an ME forum... I'm using ME.
You've found a video driver. The VCM is the version conflict manager. While it's for 98, ME is a 98 based system, and I'm thinking its behavior is strange if it's even supposed to be there.
