Windows protection error
"glee" wrote in message ... http://www.benchmarkhq.ru/files/apciinfo.zip http://members.datafast.net.au/~dft...ads/pcidevs.txt Oops....that's what happens when I copy and paste off a web page instead of off the address bar. Here's the complete link: http://members.datafast.net.au/~dft0...ds/pcidevs.txt Thanks for the complete link. As an update to the original problem that, as you know, I have been pursuing in the group: microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion in thread 'Device manager, no monitors branch'. It appears the message: 'Windows protection error, you must restart your computer'. may be caused by the NVIDIA graphics card Forceware and/or by chnages required to the motherboard BIOS when the latest Forceware drivers are installed. Previously you questioned the card drives and I asserted the latest drivers were being used and correctly installed, but I may have been mistaken about that, as the updated drivers 81.98 seem to be the root cause of the trouble. For info only: The NVDIA FAQ's (on the NVIDIA USA) site relating to this problem a Answer ID 40 -Windows protection error Answer ID 805 BIOS setting recommendations The windows protection erors have ceased after removing the NVIDIA drivers 81.98 and revising the BIOS settings, specifically setting 'Video BIOS Shadowing' to isable. It may be that with the above BIOS change the 81.98 drivers could now be re-installed. I don't know. As the issue appears to have been caused by upgrading to the latest drivers perhaps it would be best to go back to old drivers that came in the box with the card. Roger R |
