    Question GPF in windows 95sr2

    i keep getting a gpf blue screen:

    fatal exception OE at 0028:2119A7DC in VXD mcscan32 the program will terminate blah blah....

    the has occurred mostly just when about to do / doing a tape backup (scsi HP - T20) especially when i walk away!

    it has just happened when double clicking ie 5.5 icon. no other major progs running.

    any suggestions?

    Just a few suggestions to try -

    Q. Is the SCSI card controlling the Tape device sharing an IRQ with anything ?
    A. Try changing it's IRQ or moving the card to another PCI slot.

    Or

    Q. Does it 'GPF' if you remove the SCSI card ?
    A. Again an IRQ problem / Or SCSI driver problem / Or faulty SCSI controller.

    Or

    Most GPF's (Only from personell experience) are caused by faulty RAM or Faulty/Overheating CPU.

    Good luck in solving it !

    MScan - is a mcafee Anti-Virus File (as far as I remeber)

    remove Mcafee and reinstall.

    Yes, it's McAfee. Update or uninstall. There are several versions out there that cause all kinds of problems.
