Guest forevrneverends Posted April 10, 2008 Posted April 10, 2008 Oh Gosh I hope someone can help me: When I turn computer on I get this message: WINDOWS A fatal exception 00 has occurred @ 0028:C023DB7B in VXD VDD (09) + 00001803. The current application will be terminated. If I click any key it goes away then comes back and I click any button and it goes away. Then when I open my browser (I use google) and try and do a search for ANYTHING it freezes then gives that same error message all over again. Thus not being able to use any browsing capabilities .. Can someone please let me know what to do? Also I have no idea where I can do a system restore on Windows 98 Second Edition? Since it is happening to my husband computer I'm in big doodoo.

FWIW, VDD refers to the display driver in the Windows kernel. - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email.

Guest forevrneverends Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 Re: Error Message The only thing that updated was the anti virus program .. Do you have any idea where on windows or how on windows 98 I do a system restore to a previous date? Thanks "Ron Badour" wrote: > If this just started, think back to what has changed on the PC?

Read through a few, & get back to us with any further questions. I see subsequently you said: "The only thing that updated was the anti virus program." What anti-virus program is that?

Some are still free! However, you can do a Registry restore. Although it can sometimes do amazing things, I have little/no idea whether it cures your current situation. Here is how to do it... http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;183887&Product=w98 Description of the Windows Registry Checker Tool (Scanreg.exe) I'm not a big proponent of a "/Restore", but sometimes it can do amazing things. Maybe, before trying it, copy your current Registry backup files to a new folder. (a) Boot to DOS (hold CTRL as you boot for the Startup Menu, & select "Command Prompt Only") (b) DIR C:\Windows\Sysbckup\RB???.cab /od Shows you the current backups sorted by date. © MD C:\RegBckup This makes a new folder named RegBckup. (d) COPY C:\Windows\Sysbckup\RB???.cab C:\RegBckup This copies your Registry backups to the new folder, because the originals (I believe) will change as you do the following... (e) SCANREG /Restore It will offer five, one for each of the last five separate days you first booted successfully. Start with the one of the day the problem began, as these backups of the entire Registry (& System.ini & Win.ini) are done at boot, not at shut down. CAVEAT: A /Restore restores settings only. If there was a file change (other than to System.ini & Win.ini), those cannot be undone this way. That could be a problem, especially if there was a hardware change or large un/in-stall since the backup was made. Also, a large settings change, such as adding/removing a User Profile, is likely best undone a different way. Finally, some apps may keep a small database in the Registry. I do believe Explorer itself may keep its list of blocked sites there. -- Thanks or Good Luck, There may be humor in this post, and, Naturally, you will not sue, Should things get worse after this, PCR pcrrcp@netzero.net
