Guest Dan Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 I am unable to run Windows 98 SE in normal mode. Fortunately, I can run it in safe mode. When I try to run Windows 98 SE in normal mode then I receive a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death --- grin). The windows fatal exception is as follows: Fatal exception 0D occurred at 0147:0000BC9D I have a dual-boot with XP Professional which still works great. However, I also want 98SE to work great as well. Thanks for your help and I look forward to getting 98SE up and running at full speed. Well PCR, you were right that eventually XP Pro. would hurt 98SE I guess -- grin. Thanks in advance for all of the help and I am looking forward to posting here again via Mozilla Thunderbird on the 98SE side of my computer. Gary I hope your health is well and I hope all the MVP's here are doing great.

You can use the W98 bootmenu to create a bootlog file, and then use 'Bootlog Analyzer' <http://www.woundedmoon.org/win32/bootloganalyzer123.html> to find which driver/software causes the crash.
Guest Dan Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Re: Error message in Windows 98 Second Edition Thank you. I downloaded and used the software. I analyzed the failures and it seems like a bunch of fonts failed to load for some reason. I did not see anything else. Is the solution to remove all the problem fonts or is the problem deeper than that. Fortunately, the system still boots 98SE in safe mode and it is nice to be able to use XP Pro. for the Internet while the 98SE system is partially down.

So it is worth using SFC (System File Checker) to see whether this one file has been damaged. SFC will on command reinstal it from your Win98 CD. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada)

Let me know if you have any more suggestions as I wade > through these ones. I was mistaken about having to have NET Framework installed in Win98Se. You only need it with Win2000 and later when you install ATI's Catalyst Control Center. You can install only the drivers without CCC in any system and therefore NET is not necessary. I don't believe that the Catalyst Control Center will install in Win98Se, but not really sure. Make sure you read on how to uninstall the ATI drivers completely. If you are also installing those drivers for WinXP, be sure and get the XP drivers. I have downloaded drivers from ATI with no problem and they installed fine. Having the drivers on a CD may help, but they get outdated fairly soon. If you have the exact error message, I believe you can probably look it up on the ATI site. PS: Make sure you monitor is being properly recognized. If not, install the drivers (.ini file) for it.

Guest Dan Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 Re: Error message in Windows 98 Second Edition Okay, I am trying to fix everything now just in case anything from the XP side corrupted the 98 side. Although, the XP side is on D: and the 98SE is on C: there still may have been something that slipped from D: to C: because of user (my error). I have uninstalled Sound Blaster Audigy from both XP side and 98SE side. Also, I have unistalled Ati Radeon 9800XT from both XP side and 98SE side. I have checked extensively for viruses, spyware, adware, etc. and only turned up 3 tracking cookies. When I try and reinstall the Sound Blaster Audigy it works but it gives me one error message and I am clueless as to what this might mean and what to do about it. Well I just Googled it and it told me it was related to Windows Media Player which I have. I have Windows Media Player 9 on the 98SE side. Should I unistall that too? Thanks for the help and patience everyone. UNREGMP2 caused an invalid page fault in module MSVCRT.DLL at 0167:7800fa4d.

Guest Dan Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 Re: Error message in Windows 98 Second Edition Well, I tried replying with 98SE and it said it went through but I see nothing posted here about it yet. I removed Sound Blaster Audigy and Radeon 9800 XT from 98SE and XP Pro. I have removed Zone Alarm from 98SE since I don't need it since I have a hardware firewall. I posted the error message and it had to do with Windows Media Player 9. I posted the error message in full and perhaps the filter thought it was spam. Anyway, I can post the error message again later when installing the Sound Blaster Audigy on 98SE if it will help. "PCR" wrote: > Dan wrote: > | Thanks PCR!

Guest Dan Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Re: Error message in Windows 98 Second Edition LOL, yeah I bought the hype about the importance of a software firewall even if you have a router. Anyway, I still use the software firewall with XP Pro. side as a backup even though it has been uneeded so far because of the hardware firewall in the router. I have tested it at a few sites including the grc.com shields up test.

Guest Dan Posted August 4, 2007 Posted August 4, 2007 Re: Error message in Windows 98 Second Edition I have a remote call error with the driver for 98SE on the Ati Radeon 9800XT and the XP driver works fine but I reverted the drivers back to standard ones on the XP Pro. side as well just to be safe and also for my own interest in working with software drivers on the XP side. I hope Gary S. Terhune, Chris Quirke or Ron Baldour(?) or other MVP's has some comments on this issue. "Buffalo" wrote: > Dan wrote: > > Thanks PCR!

Meb, although I am using a router, ZA has stopped a couple of programs trying to call out. Without ZA's interception, they would have succeeded. Mind you, it's only happened twice in four years, but it still happened. I have been using ZA for at least 6yrs, and yes, I have had a few problems with it, but not many.
