OE in 0028.........VXD VMM06

I had this problem a few years ago, and if I remember properly, there are a
few vxds that comprise VMM. (example configmg.vxd for one). Now it gets
really fuzzy...I think I had extract like five or six vxds to
Windows\System\VMM32...and these a
configmg.vxd
ntkern.vxd
vdd.vxd
vdmad.vxd
vflatd.vxd
vmouse.vxd
(I also found these other files the IFSMGR.VXD, IOS.VXD, MRCI2.VXD and
QEMMFIX.VXD.

HTH and good luck

Hi Dan,

So, Star is your plan to format now and go with a dual-boot 98SE/XP Pro.
This is the way my system is configured with c:\drive having 98SE with
Fat32
and d:\drive having XP Pro. with NTFS. I have not bothered with extra
partitions but it is something that I may end up doing down the line.
Also,
I have only a little knowledge of the registry and my skills mainly lie
in
trying to get PC's clean from baddies. (aka spyware, viruses, malware,
adware, etc. -- my word for all of it) It is kinda nice that 98SE does
not
even know that XP exists and I am currently working to get my 98SE
install
nice and ready and then I plan to work more on getting XP Pro.
configured
properly.

* yes, mine was configured the same, I formatted 3 partition though, 98se
automatically goes to C:\ and was installed first, D:\was my partition for
data, E:\was XP F:\my Iomega zip, etc....

My plan may be to purchase 2000-Pro, I like it and it's a step up from
98-se.

Apple computers are okay but I hate using a one-button mouse.
Also, if you are a big artist, music fan or computer graphic designer
then
an
Apple may be best for you but if you are an all-around computer user
then
I
suggest Windows. Finally, there is even Linux to consider which I hear
has
more stability than Windows but I have not used it. Remember that to
have
the largest software library at our disposal then Windows is the way to
go.
I hope someone more knowledgeable than myself can help you fix your
computer.
BTW, can you possibly return your computer and get a brand new one. I
think
that Dell computers are fairly cheap or you could always build your
system
from the ground up. Perhaps the refurbished parts are somewhat
defective.
I
actually have never used a refurbished computer.

No, Dan, I built my P-3 while taking A+ certification, all new parts!!
After
2 yrs.I had problems. A tech at Boeing & old friend rebuilt it for me,
all
new, MB, P-4 cpu, etc..... I bought everything new, CD-RW, DVD, etc....
Maxtor HD not new, Iomega not new and modem is old, new floppy drive
though!!

I particularly don't like working inside the box, the MB can be hard to
place in the case. I TB-SHT Windows for myself and others. I'm strong on
partitioning, formatting & installing Windows and devices. I can usually
get a system up, even if it means taking it down and doing a clean
install.
A+ is not my calling, however I require a working puter!!

I'm not a geek or Windows guru, I just do the above well!!

One thing to consider (though it will require you to open the case and make a very
close inspection) is that the new mobo's capacitors may have also started
leaking/bulging. As you got a replacement Jetway mobo, it is quite possible that
you got another board with defective capacitors, if it was an exact replacement.
Check the mobo at the base of the capacitors, for signs of leakage.....brown
deposits at the base of the capacitors.

I have to agree with Brian that you should always post the *entire* error message
screen, word for word. In addition to the 0e vs. OE typo, the VMM06 typo, and the
missing middle of the message, you don't show whether it is an "exception 0E" or
"Fatal exception 0E", which can be different things.

I am not sure why you "feel confident RAM is good"...have you tested it? Brand new
RAM can be faulty, or become faulty if ESD degraded it during handling and
insertion.

No, I was going to put the same board, I went on the Internet and was going

You told me another Jetway was put in the puter at your work and it failed
almost immediately!!

It's Asus P4SGX-MX, I would be really sick.... leaky capacitors again!!

Of course, I just may need to look. I took it down to wks. ago, I couldn't
get into it period, Windows wouldn't load.
I couldn't get into safe mode, the immediate ck. on screen, appeared good,
himen ck. etc.... it went to a blank screen w/flashing cursur over & over.
I went to dos and did scanreg /restore, Windows would restore a good
registry but would not load. After days of this, and I lost data, I
partitioned 2 drives and did a clean install of Windows.

Thank you, I took A+ and I still struggle to maintain my puter, I'm really

moves......, and nothing more. I do ct/alt/del, I see only PC-cillin
running, no Explorer.

I do ctl/alt/del and restart and, Windows will load normally.

I went to Jim Elshelman's website, one of the best for Windows errors.
I learned about this being a W95 problem and,
I learned about setup problems in W98.

Can someone help.... RE this error and starting a W98 or W98SE puter,
what
the fix may be.

I have such instability that I'm almost ready to take the puter down,
partition, format and do another clean install of
Windows.

I'm burned out, I love W98se, I have W-XP, I've been learning the
internals
of Windows for yrs., you *must* if you want to maintain your OS. No
pun
intended, I'm ready for a Macintosh!!

Thank you,
Star

Wow, I am shocked at your bad luck, Star. I have an ASUS motherboard that I
upgraded from my old board and I really like it. I have yet to fully
understand the complex BIOS on this motherboard but my knowledge of it is
slowly increasing.

Very true, Glen. I have even had to deal with faulty ram before and like I
mentioned in a previous post, I usually stick to upgrading just the ram,
video card and sound card unless I have someone else that is more
knowledgeable in hardware to help me.

BTW, Star are your ram sticks all compatible and are they completely
compatible with your motherboard. Do not mix and match different types of
ram. I have found the Crucial website to be useful in helping me to buy ram
for my computer. Actually, I usually buy it from them because I have had
good experiences with Crucial in the past.

I'm sorry Star, if you reinstalled the OS 2 wks ago after a rebuild approx 6
mos. ago, I stick with my thoughts that you've had an ongoing issue since
rebuild. Otherwise why reinstall after a mere 6 mos?

*** Actually, no Brian, my puter had no bad symptoms and appeared fit as a
fiddle. As to why the puter crashed to the point of me having to do a clean
install of Windows...... it was s/w and the user!!!!

A few posts before this is a post Warning & Nero Burning/Ahead s/w. I
had a problem w/ InCD packet writing s/w. Bill from CO, posted and now I'm
not so embarrassed!! After, the job, you need to get the CD-RW out of the
drive, however I don't remember reading that in the manual, and of course it
is a *super* must to dismount the CD-RW correctly or that CD-RW is ruined
and has to be re-formatted.

I did a job, and didn't dismount and, I didn't totally end InCD task.
Usually I do a ctl/alt/del and end the task of InCD and remove it from my
systray. I was sloppy!! When you launch InCD it goes to your systray.

The puter locked hrs. later, my grand-daughter had been watching a DVD movie
on the puter, when the movie was over, the DVD..... Win DVD s/w wouldn't
close, I couldn't dismount my CD-RW.

That was the beginning of the *****horror******!!!! **Why Windows was
reinstalled**!!!!

I couldn't get into Windows, **but I have found out..... if you can get
in..... to safe mode, I couldn't, if you uninstall InCD, restart the
puter..... Windows again will load!!**

To clarify another point:
vmm (06) is not the same as vmm06 when conducting a search. The search
results will be entirely different between the 2 separate search criteria.

OK, Brian, I stand corrected *totally* if I ever post another 0E, I will
post *all* w/ no typos!!

Soooooo , *That's the **real** sad story!!

Anyone reading this *** pls never be sloppy w/InCD*** if you use this packet
writing technology, you could have to re-install Windows!!
