Jack thanks for the kind reply. there is nothing on standby in power
management. I have them all at "never". How do I go by determining the
offending device? Thanks for the links. I'll be checking them shortly.

I suspect that some hardware device is not returning gracefully from standby

Alternatively, determine the offending device and remove / replace it.

"ERROR: OE" or "ERROR: OD"

Hello. I get this Exception OE @ 0028: E95FC220 in VXD___. and it says
this
was called from 0028: C001D3B4 in VXD NDIS (01)+00005B30 and gives the
option
of pressing any key to continue (which does not) or CTRL+ALT+DEL. scan
disk
does not find any error. This happens when I exit IE the monitor goes
into
standby and re awakening takes a long time and shows the message in a blue
screen. I searched for the first sentence and came up empty. I am running
win
ME with all the updates, running ad-aware, shredder,spybot and the whole 9
yard. I would truly appreciate an insight into this problem.
