Error message in Windows 98 Second Edition

[Guest Dan]

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.

This happens during boot, I suppose? 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.

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.

The main font Windows needs for full boot is MARLETT.TTF.

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.

No...do not remove the fonts...Since a lot of the fonts are not

loading...(and I've seen that before) the problem

is not typically corrupted fonts...but a problem elsewhere...

such as a corrupted video driver etc

Re: Error message in Windows 98 Second Edition

 

Philo, do you suggest reinstalling the video and then sound card drivers or

do I need to try something else.

Re: Error message in Windows 98 Second Edition

 

Okay, the video drivers are fine. There may be an issue with the sound card

drivers. It is a Sound Blaster Audigy. After, I uninstall and reinstall the

sound card drivers then I can eliminate that. Then, I will proceed to go

through PCR's suggestions. Thanks everyone for the advice so far.

Okay, I am posting this in 98SE! Hooray! I reinstalled the sound drivers.

However, when I try and reinstall the Ati graphics driver, I get a remote

install the Ati driver for 98SE for the Ati 9800 XT and currently am just

using a basic VGA display for 98SE.

Go to the ATI website. Go to the Customer Care and then Radeon to get

started.

http://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894

If you are trying to install the Catylst Control Center, you need to have

NET installed.

Also there is advice on how to totally uninstall the old drivers before

installing the new ones.

Very informative site.

I am happy for your success with the sound drivers. Looks like Buffalo

came up with a site for the graphics drivers & sounds like his is the

voice of experience on it. I would go there! Nevertheless...

 

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=127139

Troubleshooting Video Problems in Windows

 

"START, Run, MSConfig, Advanced button". If checked, then uncheck "VGA

640x480x16", & reboot.

 

"Control Panel, Display, Settings tab". Select as you wish from the

Colors dropdown menu & the Size slider.

 

If you move the Screen Area slider to 1024x768 there, possibly click the

Advanced button, & select Large fonts too— or there is a chance you end

up with tiny, unreadable fonts!

 

Try to get your colors/size at least twice that way. If it continues to

fail, you may need to reinstall your Monitor or Display Adapter...

 

For the Monitor...

(1) Boot to Safe Mode

(Hold F5 as you boot or CTRL for the Startup Menu)

(2) "START, Settings, Control Panel, System, Device Manager tab"

(3) Open the Monitors branch, & Remove all entries.

 

Perhaps, FIRST, even in Normal Mode, note what is installed

similar to below for the Adapter. That is...

(a) D-Clk the monitor there for Properties, Driver tab.

(b) Click the Update Driver button, then "Next".

© Bolt "Display a list...", & click "Next".

(d) Bolt "Show all hardware".

Examine the two panes to see what is currently installed.

That is likely what you wish to end up with, after step (4).

 

(4) Boot to Normal Mode.

 

Hopefully, it will be rediscovered & installed. Then, if still

necessary, here is the rigmarole of the Display Adapter...

 

.......Quote..........

The first thing to do is to remove the video adapter you have

installed. Right-click on the desktop; choose "Properties" from the

drop-down menu; select "Settings;" click on the "Advanced" button; and

click on "Adapter". An adapter is a program that tells Windows how to

deal with a specific video card. Make note of the adapter that is

currently installed. Then, change the adapter to "Standard Display

Adapter (VGA)" and restart the system.

 

[That is: Click "Change, Next, bolt 'Display a List...', Next, bolt

'Show all hardware', scroll left pane to top, select '(Standard display

types)', select 'Standard Display Adapter (VGA)' in right pane, click

'Next'"... PCR]

 

This will remove the current adapter and replace it with a generic VGA

adapter that works with all video cards. You will not like VGA because

it supports only 16 colors, but the purpose of installing it is to get

rid of whatever was there before.

 

Next, return to the adapter screen and install an adapter that matches

your video card. This may or may not be the adapter that you are

using now. Examine the materials you received with your computer to

see if they include a CD-ROM or floppy disk that contains the correct

video adapter. Or go to the Gateway website and see if they have an

adapter for you to download. Or check the website of the company that

made your video card.

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.

About the only thing I could find with a "Remote Procedure Call Error" was

to NOT install the WDM drivers.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks Buffalo. Hopefully, the cd will fix things up well since it has more

stuff and capability than what is offered on the website.

Meb, although I am using a router, ZA has stopped a couple of programs

trying to call out.

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.
