A fatal exception OE has occurred at 0028:C0005338 in VXD VMM (01) + 00004338 Driving you CRAZY?? Don't laugh-- CLEAN THE DUST OFF YOUR PROCESSOR COOLING FAN. AMD 450 K6-2 processors are heat sensitive (and possibly others), and too much dust clogging up the heat sink and fan that sits immediately on top of the processor, will cause it to heat up-- one degree over the limit will cause it to fail repeatedly for no apparent reason-- and with no apparent cure. This is EXACTLY the error message you will get/we got- opening programs, merely tapping the mouse-- EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. Changing hard drives/RAM still got the same message. We took the fan off the processor (held on with wire clip) vacumed it and blew the CONSIDERABLE DUST off the thing. PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY and permanently SOLVED. (At least for a couple more years till the brown crud accumulates once again.)

2 ANSWERS 1ST REPLACE RAM, if still get error (this one the worst case) thow the processor out the window and by a new one . AMD posted a mesage that a series of k6-2 were faulty and as i have the same trouble that the place to start. P.S. make sure bios is not currupt. p.p.s never run amd's with out heat sink's they will mess up easly

From: http://www.techadvice.com/issues/issues-with.asp?word1=Blue%20Screen&word2=VxD&with1=VMM I got this information: Error Message "A fatal exception 0E has occurred at 0028:C02807E8 in VXD VMM(06) + 000047E8" with a Blue Screen, the cause of this error is currently unknown, win98 No Further Information Available Is this current, or is there more information; perhaps a solution? Anyone have experience with the above error message? I read one case of an individual getting another kind of "Fatal Exception" error that disappeared when he cleaned the dust from the clogged fan, thus lowering the temperature of his overheated system.

I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF TRYING TO RESTORE MY COMPUTER FROM NTKERN.VXD ERRORS, PROTMAN ERRORS, AND PROBLEMS GETTING ON INTERNET EXPLORER. MY QUESTION IS, HOW CAN I CLOSE ALL OF THE PROGRAMS RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND WHILE I AM TRYING TO WORK ON MY COMPUTER. FOR EXAMPLE NETSCAPE STARTS UP AUTOMATICALLY AS WELL AS MANY DLL FILES AND ATI TASK, ETC.. DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS?
