Question reformatting

Hi all....Here's my problem...My windows will not load..gets to the startup screen, sits there for awhile, and then gives me an error message (missing or damaged file vmm32.vxd). I have tried starting from the start-up disk, ran scandisk, and it gives me errors about long file names that I must fix from within windows. But my windows won't open. I've been messing around with it for a week, and I'm thinkin I'm gonna need to reformat. Can someone give me the simple version on how to do this? I'd appreciate any help I can get. Thanks in advance!
