I'm having trouble with my WINDOWS 98. an error always shows up "Fatal Exception OE XXX in VXD"; and sometimes when i try to use any MSOffice 2000 functions i get "MSWORD.EXE" or "IEXPLORER" "caused Invalid page fault" when closing MSWORD or IEXPLORER and if I tried re-installing MSOffice again i get this message "MSIEXEC.EXE caused an invalid page fault". None of the Knowledge Base Solutions in Microsoft Support seems to work. When i checked my kernel drivers under system environment (Using the Microsoft System Information tool)i see that there are two INTEL manufactured drivers - the VFIXD.VXD and VRTWD.386 described as Compatibility VXD and Real-time Clock VXD, respectively. Does this affect my Operating system since i'm using an AMD processor? ...if yes, How do i remove them without damaging the integrity of my Windows 98?
MY System is :
AMD K62-500 Processor
EPOX MVP3-G2 Mother board
8.4 Seagate Hard Disk
TEAC 60X (540E) CD-rom Drive
128 MB Memmory
32 mb Nvidia Riva TNT2
Quadextreme 3D Soundcard
Operating System: Windows 98
Applications to be used: MSOFFICE 2000

rumour has it that you can copy entire office suite disk to your hard drive and then run the install from there. good luck

I was getting messages as follows: "An Exception OE has occurred at 0028:C00768F5 in VXD (ect)." While researching the problem, I read many such errors occur with AMD K6 processors like my own. The solution was often chilling down the chip. I replaced my processor fan and heat sink with one that cools better and installed a case fan. My temp is now around 110 -118F. I've been up and running for 3 consecutive days with no problem, where before, I could hardly boot up without crashing. (I tested this by popping open the case and directing a small desk fan at the processor for a day, before buying the real fans, at a total cost of $18.) Good luck.

When I start up my computer... it tells me "VXD file 1.4 - 1.2 expected" or something like that... I think it has to do with my gaming programs... but not sure... how do I fix it and what IS the problem?

whenever i surf net or having irc chat session,i alwaes get 'fatal errors' regarding VxD IFSMGR(01) and VxD NDIS(01) .
What is it all about????

i had problems with vxd errors on my last comp. i had a pIII running on an epox motherboard...the way i solved my problem was to get a mother board that had an intel chipset (Abit)...i am currently trying to fix a computer for a friend of mine. i built the comp about a year ago and havent had any problems with it until now...more vxd errors...but since this one has a AMD proc. i have to stay with the via chipset...ill try another fan...who knows maybe that will work...i hope
ASUS A7V
AMD 900 mhz
32mg geforce 2mx
ibm 20gig ata 100
384 mg of sdram
sound blaster live

well im happy to say that i solved my problem...turns out one of the sticks of ram went bad...who would have thought...
