Lately after I install games and proceed to play I get the following message. A Fatal exception 00has occurred at0028:C023DB77 in VXD VDD (09)+ 00001803. The current application will be terminated. It worked fine before I hooked up with Covad internet service. A Fatal exception 00has occurred at 0028:C023DB77 in VXD VDD 09+ 00001803. The current applaction will ne terminated.

Well... http://search.support.microsoft.com/kb/c.asp?fr=3D0&SD=3DGN&LN=3DEN-US = MSKB Search "VDD"; Windows 98; Full Text; Exact Phrase; produces about a page = full of some scary stuff. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=3Dkb;en-us;253671&Product=3D= w98 Description of Device Drivers=20 (253671) - This article describes device drivers. If you are looking for = a specific device driver, view the following Microsoft Web site: = http://www.microsoft.com/windowsme/support/bulletins/findingdrivers.asp=20 "VDD.vxd" does seem to be a Monitor driver inside the monolithic = VMM32.vxd file. That file is only regenerated by reinstalling Windows, = which you did. If you reinstalled it on this machine, then you surely = got the right one. I guess you do not need a new one from that URL. But, = if you go for it, the one in the monolith can be over-ridden by placing = a new copy of VDD.vxd into the folder "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\VMM32". I = wonder-- is one already there? Perhaps, instead, un/re-install at least your Monitor... 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". (c) 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. Best of Luck Wizard

I would like to first thank the people for having this website and Wizard of Drives for his input and all the possile solutions, I finally went to the amd website and there was one suggestion in the thousands Q&A I'm sure there are there and I found the one I needed right off the bat, a bad memory stick, not bad persay just a miss match that took over a year to mess with my head, I am happy to say everything is fine since I pulled out that bad tooth,LOL. Computing.net I plan to help out this site as it gave me the insentive to do some research on my own too. Thanks. A Fatal exception 00has occurred at 0028:C023DB77 in VXD VDD 09+ 00001803.

ok I have almost the same problem except its A Fatal exception 00 has occurred at 0028:C023DB7f in VXD VDD(09) + 00001803. The current application will be terminated. should I do the things you told about Wizard? It seems to be my driver and right now I am on the standard one. (I have a NVIDIA GeForce 2) I got the driver from the site but it keeps doing the same thing.
