exception 0E
Windows ME, but in this respect probably no different from Windows 98.
Random events when starting it: - booting from IDE 0 ... okay ... invalid system disk (can't even boot) - black screen with cursor (before desktop comes); it then sometimes reboots itself - can sometimes get into Safe Mode, will then always crash, usually within minutes but occasionally allowing to type a letter or two. It sometimes just freezes, at other times gives BSOD with : Windows Error / an exception 0E has occurred at 0028:C001DA in VxD called from 0028:C1493144 in VxD. This in one example - the details vary, though 0028:C seem to be always the same - Sometimes also the message, 'winword error in kernel32.dll'. I suppose this is not related, but mention it in case. It is a bit of an old dog, but I would like to keep it working another year. If anyone can help I'd be grateful. It seems to be a driver issue, but which? What is a 'virtual device driver' anyway?

SR may be a futile attempt. Here is a list of possible situations and, once pinpointed, to find the solution(s). http://www.helpwithwindows.com/techf...0e-errors.html Best of luck. Harry.

- booting from IDE 0 ... okay ... invalid system disk (can't even boot)
- black screen with cursor (before desktop comes); it then sometimes reboots itself Sounds like your HDD *may* be beginning to fail. If you are getting crashes in Safe Mode too, followed by a freeze (rather than an error report) then it generally rules out most drivers. Perhaps you better start a little earlier in the chain and rule out (or rule in!) WinMe and/or your HDD. Try booting from your WinMe Set-up floppy disk into Real Mode DOS. Let it continue running into the (DOS) Help pages and leave it there and scroll through the pages for a while to see if it locks/hangs. If it be behaves (give it a reasonable time to be sure that things are OK) then it would appear to be either you HDD or WinMe that has the problem. If OK, then that reinforces the first diagnosis and before you proceed any further, you may want to consider trying to recover any important (personal) data from the drive BEFORE you do any further testing. If you data is important DO NOT do any further testing - especially anything which would be caused to write to your HDD (eg.scandisk) Come back with your results and decide what you want to do next.

Wish I had a little more time and would save myself from these pitfalls. Thanks for setting me straight on this one and the OP. As for top-posting, I thought there were exceptions, as in this case, but apparently not. Please, accept my apologies. Harry. "Mart" wrote in message ...

Harry......first of all, you claim to be retired.
I too am retired. My husband is retired. A lot of our friends are retired. We have all the time in the world...... So what in heck does not allow you to have "time"......frankly I think it is just a poor excuse. And please......stop answering questions when you don't have one clue what you are talking about!!!! One of these days, you are going to lead someone into major trouble. That is why I.....and others......pull you up short when you goof up. The Canuck "webster72n" wrote in message ...

"Heather":
Once and for all: You don't have a clue what I'm all about. You are free to do as you wish and so am I. So far I haven't led anyone astray and don't plan on doing so.
