Everytime my windows (98) bootup i get this blue screen with this message: A FATAL EXCEPTION OE HAS OCCURED AT 017:BFF83BFC.. what does it mean and how can I fix it? my screen would boot up all the way after I press any key but the blue screen of death comes first...PLEASE I need your help on this one.. Thank you. Chip

Try this Go to control panel add/remove programs highlight microsoft Internet Explorer and tools (thats one item) then click on remove. In the resulting box choose repair and follow prompts. It sound like you got a file meesed up in your mail program. This should fix it.

try this first, when the computer is starting up, start tapping the F5 key, tap it once or twice a second, it should go to "safe mode", then go to start and run, and type MSCONFIG, and click on, go to the startup tab and uncheck everything but explorer, systray, scanregistry and taskmonitor, click ok and say yes to reboot

ndistress99, that will only hide the problem, it wont fix it
