I find nothing on that particular error. Does the blue screen happen *after*
you log on, or before? Do you ever see the Desktop before the error(s)? How
do you recover from the error? Reboot? What percentage of the startups would
you say this occurs? Are they all OE 0028 errors?

Note that none of these errors suggest a virus, per se. What makes you think
you have a virus?

Does Windows ME even have a firewall. I have looked in almost every
place
possible and cant seem to find one. I dont know when i last updated
the
windows either because it is not my home PC and i dont use it everyday,
but
it seems to get virus all the time.

Windows ME doesn't have its own firewall. Use a third-party solution, and
if
the machine is on a high-bandwidth ISP (DSL or cable), use a proper
router
between the modem and the machine(s), one that has a NAT "firewall". Even
if
it's only one machine, it's wise to add this protection to your network.

How do you know you're getting viruses? Do you have a real-time AV
scanner,
one that is constantly monitoring in the background, or do you only
manually
scan every once in a while? Viruses have to come from somewhere. If
you're
using a normal real-time scanner, when do the alerts show up? While
you're
doing what?

Another problem that does happen is apoun start-up i do recieve some
errors
that seem to be registry type errors.

What, exactly, are the errors? We need exact, verbatim texts including
details, if any. If the details are long, leave out the "registers".
Error
message and details shouldn't be longer than a line or three. Make sure
to
indicate when, at what point in the boot cycle, the errors occur.
