Windows Protection Error (Device VKD)
Am unable to start Win98, even in Safe Mode. When
attempting a normal start, system freezes with varying portions of error message displayed. The most that appears is "While initializing device VKD: Windows protection error. You" No success trying different keyboard. System does not always go to Setup Menu. Attempted line by line start. Following question to start GUI,initial ScanDisk screen appeared with following lines overwritten at top of screen: Run-time error R6003 - integer divide by 0sk Load all Windows drivers? "No" had no response. "Yes" cleared screen and froze with partial prompt "Vnetsup.vxd" displaying at top. Any thoughts on a fix short of Disaster Recovery process? (Naturally, the most recent DR set is not up to date...)

Had not used MemTest86 before; seems like a good one. Ran
