Error Message: 'While Initializing Device VKD - Windows protection error.
Hello, I own a IBM Thinkpad 600e and I am having severe
problems booting up the machine on Windows 98. Everytime I attempt to start-up ot displays the following message: 'Error Message: While Initializing Device VKD -- Windows Protection Error -- You Need to Restart Your Computer'. Even in safe it displays this message. I am lead to believe that it is a malfunction with the keyboard, and the remedy is to disconnect the keyboard then re-connect. However, I have a laptop so I am unable to comply with this solution. Please does anybody have any advice? Many Thanks Clarke

I'd say you have two choices--contacting IBM tech support or you could try
reinstalling Windows to see if it is software problem. -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo wrote in message ...
