Windows Protection Errors can occur due to many different causes,
including:
virtual driver (VxD) problems, including conflicts between real-mode and
protected-mode drivers, or when a protected-mode driver already
initialized
is loaded from SYSTEM.INI, or when a VxD file is damaged; a damaged
Registry; a virus; a damaged WIN.COM or COMMAND.COM file; CMOS settings
errors; Plug-and-Play malfunction; and hardware problems, including a
malfunctioning cache, malfunctioning RAM, or a damaged motherboard.
