got a fatal exception error-- 0E at 0187:BFF9DBA7 No previous problems. Haven't changed system:P3 266 win98. Will boot up and error happens after a few minutes. Notice in boot up Windows sound is stuttered. Anyone have any advice? Randy

Pardon...should have read PII not P3.

try this web site it has procedures to narrow down the error http://windrivers.com/tech/troubleshoot/winexceptions.htm

Try choice 2 . With W98, if you have IE5.1 or higher & you still have IE4 installed the following applies . No IE4 only 2 choices . IE5.5 if over the top of 5.1 , offers 3 choices . You can install IE5.1 straight over 4 . A big feature with IE5 is that it can be repaired without uninstalling . Here is how to do it . Open Control Panel , Add / Remove , click on Microsoft Internet Explorer , then click on add / remove down the bottom . This opens a window with 3 choices . Choice 1. Add , insert your IE5 install program & you can find other items you may not have installed 1st time . Choice 2. Repair , fixes problems that may crop up with IE5 / Outlook Choice 3. If unfixable , removes IE5 & goes back to IE4 , now if you want to you can reinstall IE5 or a later version or another browser altogether .
