[RESOLVED] Fatal exception keeps hosing me at start up...

[Shaneman]

As soon as I boot to my desktop I get ...
"A fatal exception has occured at 0028:C0005338 in VXD VMM(01) + 00004338"
when I press "any key" to continue it reboots....

The System:

• AMD K6-2 450
• Epox VP3-C
• 128MB PC100
• Win98

I haven't recently installed anything new.. and have no idea what's caused this.
any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Shane

As a temp fix to get you up and running boot into safe mode and run regidt and search for the offending vxd and remove them.(remember to back up the registry first.)

[eww]

the following link is from windrivers tech-tips, may 1999. it is a fix for vxd problems. i haven't tried it, but it might solve your problem.

Have a bo peep at this first http://support.microsoft.com/support.../6/72.asp?FR=0
and see if it applies to you.
Also if you search for a chap by the name of
Roy Lehrer, you will get another side of the 98 VxD Fix saga.
HIH,cheers
