File Name: VMM (12) + 0004C3C Error: 0E: 0028: C0283C3C

This occurs in a blue screen quite a bit even when trying to run
maintenance. I cannpt run maintenance in safe mode either without getting
it. I was trying to download iMesh to try getting music and I
couldn't download it either. The music I was trying to get before was from
AOL Music Now which has joined with Napster. Napster said it wouldn't run
with Windows ME only XP so I thought that might be my problem. Seems I can't
download anything at this point. Is my computer trying to die, it is seven
years old.
