Again, I'm looling for help/clarification from MVP or *savvy* user.

The exact OE is..............0028:C027F8AB VXD VMM06

I have a new install of Windows... two wks. old.
The system has not been stable. I'm backing up everyday.

Google didn't come up w/exact match.
0028 VXD VMM06, had more luck.

Windows starts up to this OE, I do ctl./alt/del and Windows continues to
load *only to be desktop w/selected bkgrnd color, mouse pointer that
moves......, and nothing more. I do ct/alt/del, I see only PC-cillin
running, no Explorer.

I do ctl/alt/del and restart and, Windows will load normally.

I went to Jim Elshelman's website, one of the best for Windows errors.
I learned about this being a W95 problem and,
I learned about setup problems in W98.

Can someone help.... RE this error and starting a W98 or W98SE puter, what
the fix may be.

I have such instability that I'm almost ready to take the puter down,
partition, format and do another clean install of
Windows.

I'm burned out, I love W98se, I have W-XP, I've been learning the internals
of Windows for yrs., you *must* if you want to maintain your OS. No pun
intended, I'm ready for a Macintosh!!

Thank you,
