soundblaster live seems to be the problem because i get these errors as well, but i have a tnt2 video-card

Solved VMM(01) errors by installing 'Microsoft Virtual Machine' Download using W98 windows Update or d/l from www.download.com search 'Virtual Machine'. Tricks to get on net when VMM(01) is acting up. 1) Minimize Browser when page is loading. Java used on the page activates VMM. 2) Change to Standard VGA video card, in the Device Manager. Damn that VMM (Virtual Machine Manager)

Anyone having problems re: VXD errors EMU10K1.VXD, try out the driver found at this website http://www.buyabs.com/drivers.asp. It worked for me.

I ALSO HAVE THIS PROBLEM, I READ ON THE NET THAT A WAY TO FIX THIS IS BY CHANGING THE CORE VOLTAGE FROM 2 TO 3 ON THE CPU. AFTER READING A LOT OF MAGAZINES I FOUND OUT THAT I HAVE TO SWITCH SOME -WELL SWITCHES INSIDE THE PC IM JUST ABOUT TO TRY THIS OUT NOW

I have a Soyo 6vba-133 w/ PIII-600 & 64Meg (all 133Mhz). Got the same Emu10k blue screen anytime something tried to make sound. It went away when I replaced my Diamond SupraMax PCI modem (Conexant Chipset) with my old Zoom ISA. Honest to God. They must not like each other!

I have VMM(01) exception problem. Trying to resolve it I found 2 pages, that might be helpfull: http://discussions.virtualdr.com/Forum1/HTML/000217.html http://www.mcs.net/~revolutn/win98_vxd_fix.htm Good luck!

I can't believe all the problems that exist with this VMM VXD idea. Go to this site, read the FAQs to understand what the problem really is! Download the fix. This one really should have been fixed by Microsoft... http://www.mcs.net/~revolutn/win98_vxd_fix.htm

I Have it too. It seems to be brought on by D3D and Direct Draw on my system.I've reinstalled upto 98se from scratch,Got the newest drivers and updates. No relief. (HELP) PII 350 256 meg Ram Diamond v770 32 meg CMI audio Matsonic motherboard VIA Apollo Chipset

A full Reinstall of Win 98se And the installation of Virtual Machine has solved the problem for me.

I had the same problem with a fast AMD processor, seemed that the the processor got too hot, so I put it from 533Mhz to 475Mhz, which kept the temp down. Configuration is stable for a couple of days now. (Maybe you can also try to put a larger cooler on the processor). Easy to try, so why not...

http://www.buyabs.com/drivers.asp Their fix worked on both of my machines. one was an athlon 500 with a voodoo 3 2000 and the other was a pentium 3 with a voodoo 3 3000. Thanks Rover!

hmmmm.....I myself get fatel error at 0377:00008cc. I have a ELSA III PRO VIDEO AGP(32 megs), a PENT III 533 ON THE 6VBA 133 mother board w/128 ram.......HELP!!!!! I can't get this thing to run properly and it is driving me insane.

I am getting the Fatal Error vxd, vmm blue screen I tried the Virtual Machine Download and The Emu file download It seemed at first that the Virtual Machine had worked then al of a sudden it started doing it again. After reading all of the reports here I found the most common of hardware of the people haveing problems is the Diamond Viper 770 Which is TNT2 chipset I can not get this problem resolved someone help!!!!!!

Ditto. I've got the error also! History: I Upgraded to a Piii 700 MHZ from a Pii 350. After the Piii when in...I started getting the error during sounds. Yezzzz, curiously, I have both the Diamond Viper770 and Soundblaster Live! X-gamer. I'm going to http://www.buyabs.com/drivers.asp to see if that advice works for me. Will report back.

SUCCESS! Here's EXACTLY how I did it: 1. D/l the new Soundblaster Live patch, "emu10k1.vxd", from http://www.buyabs.com/drivers.asp to a new directory on your desktop. 2. Open that new directory so you can see the new file. 3. Open directory C:\Windows\System in another window. 4. Find OLD file "emu10k1.vxd" in System dir(yes, it has exactly the same name as the new patch you downloaded) 5. Delete that OLD file. 6. COPY NEW "emu10k1.vxd" to the System directory by right-click-drag to the System directory window. Select "copy" from pop-up menu. 7. Reboot. There's probably an easier way, but I took the ole' Mac drag-and-drop method. Sorry to sound sooo simplistic, but it might help someone.

P.S., FYI *my* error message read: "A Fatal exception OE has occurred at 0028:C17CA14B in VXD EMU10K1(01)"

ok i have a k-6 2 400 and i have been working on this problem.. when i install windows 98 during the detecting hardware it went into the blue screen to. also if i did get it installed it would go into the blue screen every time i booted the computer. so the way i dide this was went into the bios and found that the only way it did not have any errors (i mean none) was to disable the cpu internal cache.and i know that is not the total solution but it will at least let you do all that you need to do ro solve the taotal solution in the mean time without having errors.the only draw back is the speed:) good luck and please email me if there is a true solution ro this prob, thanx michael

I KNOW THE PROBLEM GUYS! I have been working with that god damn emu10k1.vxd blue screen of death error for a long time. And i figured out it has to do with your ethernet card. Once i removed my ethernet card, my sound card worked perfectly. So, after reinstalling my ethernet card from the win98 cd, everthing works now. If you do have an ethernet card, remove it, then reinstal it with the win98 cd. This worked for me. Good luck.

I have an Adaptec Ethernet card installed in my computer. Didn't touch it. Machine has been free from Blue Screen Death ever since I upgraded the SoundBlaster Live Patch (~2 weeks). Just a FYI.

I have p3 500, viper 770, sb live 128mb, etc, and i get vmm error when running dark reign 2, vamp masq with the console, and at various other times, could somebody post a link to the fix, because those others dont work, thanks

Funny, I am seeing this error message on a computer that is a piii 500, and the soudn card is neither a soundblaster or a Diamond. And I am only seeing it at shutdown. No other time. Was working fine up until maybe 1 week ago. The problem dissappeared when I took out the virus checker (Mcaffee) but comes back immdieately after reinsatllation. Also dissappears when it is disconnected from the network. Anybody got any idea as to why this would occurr?

the emu10K1(01) at 0028:xxxxxxxx happens if you have Pentium III and either a soundblaster live or TNT2 vga card. I found information on this at the driverforum website. Info on problem resolution: http://www.driverforum.com/sound/6087.html or just do this: 1.Raise the Shuttle site http://www.spacewalker.com/english/default.htm 2.Click on FAQ (upper right hand corner) 3.Go to Extensive Content 4.Go to Shuttle Support * Content 5.Go to Mainboards - Important Info 6.Go to Windows Operating System 7.Go to Windows 98: Sound Problems with Pentium III and Soundblaster Live/TNT2 vga If your problem is soundblaster live, then this has now been fixed with creativelabs latest driver for soundblaster live. Goto creative labs web site and download the latest soundblaster live driver. Typical.....creative labs superior support....????????

I have had this problem for ever it seems. At 1st, it was coming hand in hand with some msgrv or something like that(it was almost 6 mos ago)I upgraded my PC, (NOT cuz of the vxd prob.) Too my surprise, the problem was back again, (but w/o the msgrv) we then concluded that it has to be a bad copy of win98. ....NOT! then we decided to install the 2nd edition..... this did help.....for awhile...... i ended up reformatting(cuz monitor would go out but PC kept going) but.... sadly enuff, this hasn't helped either... may even be worse. I get the vxd vmm (01) just as win98 loads, or when i want to go online. *NOTE: this doesn't happen ea. time, but i DO get the blue screen with the VXD VMM an average of 6,7-10 times a day! .....GO FIGURE! Seems to me, with so many ppl having this problem, That MS would have a solution!

why is it that none of the links given here work?

Brand new VH6 P3 733 128MB system with SB Live Value and Matrox G400... Latest drivers all around. Finally got rid of the error by changing the AGP aperture from 64 to 16.

Also, forgot to mention.. the emu10k1 error was solved by moving the SB Live up to the top PCI slot (SB's emulation driers like being on the primary PCI bridge for some reason)

I had this problem with new installs and upgrades. PC's all had Asus M/B's. ATI Rage 16MB and Creative Blaster 32MB for video cards. PII & PIII processors. Nothing else in the machines. ABS changed their link: http://www.buyabs.com/support/drivers/soundcard.asp Download the emu10k1.vxd into your %systemroot%\system directory after renaming the existing emu10k1.vxd to something else like emu10k1vxd.bad

I am getting a Fatal Exception Errors 0028:C0005338 in VxD VMM (01) + 00004338 and 0028:C0006EB2 in VxD VMM (01) + 00005EB2 I started getting these errors occassionally but over the past couple of weeks even more so to the point of now that I cannot even boot the computer without the errors except in safe mode where I have NOT managed to reproduce the errors. My System specs are as follows AMD K6-2/550 M577 TX-AGP PRO 2xAGP MMX Super 7 Motherboard 64mb PC100 SDRAM Diamond 128-Bit A90 Speedstar AGP Video w/Savage 4 Pro + 16mb floppy drive CD-Rom CD-RW 13.6gb HD 56k Motorola Modem On boot up the processor is shown as a 531 CPU but it is jumpered as a 550 (5.5 x 100) I am also running Win98 SE I have already tried doing a complete reinstallation of everything but got the error again on the first boot up of windows during the installation phase. I have had many suggestions and am looking for more so if anybody has a suggestion let me have it please because I am at my wits end with this one. Some suggestions already received are as follows BIOS updates, chipset drivers, latest drivers for all components, thermal issues, I have been told this is a video driver related problem but not how to fix, also that this is similar to the problem with Win95 and the AMD 350 CPUs and faster timing problem but that issue was suppose to be resolved in Win98, a suggestion to disable the external cache in the BIOS because of timing problems, something about installing AMD drivers before installing video drivers and the same with VIA drivers, other special settings in the BIOS, setting the display to normal VGA before installing video drivers, changing the CPU speed to a slower value and replacing the system RAM. I think that about covers it. If anybody has a shot in the dark or better yet an exact step by step fix it would be greatly appreciated. Reply here or contact me directly at jvriffel@mcmsys.com

I found that link that is mentioned above for the VxD fix it is now located at http://users.megapathdsl.net/~revolution/vxdfix.html

THIS IS A REPLACMENT FOR EMU10K1.VDX EMAIL ME FOR THE FILE ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS REPLACE THE FILE IN YOUR WINDOWS SYSTEM FOLDER WORKED FOR ME HAD FATAL ERROR,S CONSTANTLY

This emu10k1 (01) fatal exception error is killing me. Thanks for your help.

Hello John, I started getting the exact same error (your first error "0028:C0005338 in VxD VMM (01) + 00004338") starting about the time you posted here. I get it at random times. In my case, it also happens just as it did with Taren (the original poster of this thread) when I try to install Win98 clean: QUOTE I ALWAYS get this when win98 is detecting my hardware, OR when its at the last step when its "finalizing settings" I DONT KNOW WHERE THE PROBLEM IS! UNQUOTE I'm wondering if anyone gave you any suggestions for this. I took out DIMMs and tried reinstalling Win98 with no help. I disabled my L1 cache on my AMD K6-2, resulting in a much lower speed, but the computer just rebooted by itself and ran scandisk, with no error. Everything else I tried I got the "error". I can't disable my onboard ESS Sound. It might be that, but it is working right now as I type this. My RAM and CPU passes "TUFFTEST", a low-level program that's designed to test hardware. So I'm at a loss. Anyone else here able to offer suggestions? DDT Copy sent directly as email to jvriffel@mcmsys.com

I get the same VMM.VXD BSOD when I launch any game, change my videocard settings, awtch a movie (asf, mpeg, avi) Format c:, reinstall Windows, get new HDD, get new motherboard. NO CHANGE!!! :( I have a Celeron 466 Creative GeForece DDR SB Live Value WD HDD 192mb pc-133 ram email me plz if you know what I have to do...

Was able to get the 'EMU10K1.vxd' patch at: http://www.buyabs.com/support/drivers.shtml

10-09-2000 If you've read this far down the list..PLEASE READ ON!! At 12:30am I stopped at this page hoping to find a solution to my problem with the EMU10K1.vxd driver. I did. I went to the updated links, downloaded the patch at BUYABS.COM, went offline, deleted the original driver(that piece of junk), copied the patch into WINDOWS\SYSTEM , .....IT WORKED!!!!! Oh Yeah!! It's now 2:15am and my soundcard works fine now. I am enjoying it so much I decided to come by and thank everyone. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!! Please follow the suggestions and I'm sure you're problem will be solved too. THANKS AGAIN!!!

the original link to http://www.buyabs.com/support/drivers.shtml DOESNT WORK. Try this one: http://www.buyabs.com/tskb/drvsnd.asp

Hey guys, I've tried every fix i could find and none of them work. I was originally getting the EMU error message but thats gone now and im getting the VMM VXD message instead. I only get the blue screen when I try go into games and movies, MP3's are fine. I have a celeron 500, TNT-2 Ultra, 128MB ram and Windows 98 SE. Anyone help me or having the same problem?

Having the same problem on PIII 650 with on-board sound card but I think it the error relates to the riva tnt2 card. Used to have ATI Rage128 and no problem. Will try the VXD fix. Lets see. How come Microsoft doesn't give the level of support I find here??!!!

I am getting the BSOD - VXD VMM(01) + 0005EB2. I have been surfing for several hours reading possible solutions. My problem ONLY occurs when I try to write to my CD Burner. I have one thing in common with most of the posts - SB Live. I hope this will help someone more intelligent than me figure out why this is happening.

Hi Andy, Your problem may be from USB driver of your cd burner. I'v had the same problem with my USB HP cd writer. i launched Adaptec ez cd creator, and then i got the blue screen.And it just happened when 1.something try to reach to my cd writer. And my solution is just press ESC key to get it windows again and relaunched the ez cd again and there's no anymore error until i'v run the application the next time I just think that is all about USB Driver but still don't know how to fix it.

I've noticed a trend in your problems. Most of you have Nvidia Chipsets and SoundBlaster cards. Have any of you tried switching to Nvidia's Detonator drivers? I tried a while ago and it really lowerd the amount of BSOD's. Other things you should try are. swithching memory around in the dimms, making sure your PC's cool enough, lowering the video exeleration. Keep track of your errors. Find when they seem to happen i.e. loading, exiting, starting, heavy use. And try to remember when they started. Did you get a new video card, cpu ect... Hope this helps some one!

Just confirming as others have said, download the emu10k1 patch at http://www.buyabs.com/tskb/driver.asp I have done it and so far sooooo good. My system: PIII 667 128Mb Voodoo 3 3000 Live value Big Thanks to this site, saved sanity and some of my hair lol GAje

Seems to be a major problem with VXD and blue screens.. Check these 2 sites dealing with VXD For WinMe VXD go here http://www.overclockers.com.au/techstuff/a_dos_me/ For Win98 VXD go here http://tweakhomepc.virtualave.net/update/vmm32vxd.html along the top of this page are numbers, click on them to see whats below. Worth coping what i have put here for future reference if you ever get the blue screen of death with VXD problems.. Geoff VMM32.VxD may be slowing your system Advanced & Intermediate users Windows 98 does not install all the device specific drivers and may, incorrectly, rely on the non-specific VMM32.VxD driver to manage different devices. An early report suggests that the newer Windows 98SE is also at fault. A Virtual Device Driver (VxD) is a special type of Windows driver that allows Windows to perform functions at optimal CPU speed, and permits interaction with the hardware and internal Windows functions. 32 bit Virtual memory manager device(VMM32.VxD) is the VxD file that provides the primary functions (kernel) in Windows. VxDs sometimes conflict and can lock up the system. Your system will be faster, and safer, by using the device specific VxDs. Specific drivers are always safer, and optimized for better performance. -------------------- Checking your current drivers: 1. Go to Start • Settings • Control Panel • System • Device Manager • System devices 2. Highlight System board and click Properties, Driver tab, Driver File Details 31 If you see C:\Windows\System\configmg.vxd you are using the correct VxD driver 32 If you see C:\Windows\System\vmm32.vxd (configmg.vxd) you are using the generic VMM32.VxD instead of configmg.vxd (Yes! It is telling which one you SHOULD use, but it is MISSING!) 4. Now check (as above) the other VxDs 5. Note the names of any missing specific VxDs ----------------------- The correct VxDs: The seven systems VxD drivers required are: vcomm.vxd communications driver vdd.vxd video drive device vflatd.vxd video flat-frame buffer virtual device vdmad.vxd DMA controller driver vmouse.vxd mouse driver configmg.vxd configuration manager for the motherboard ntkern.vxd kernel driver used for the universal host controller You may not need all of these. ------------------- Installing the correct VxDs The specific VxDs are in the CAB files on the Windows 98 CD-ROM WIN98: Configmg.vxd driver is in Win98_47. The rest are in Win98_48. WIN98 SE: The files are in Win98_53 and Win98_54. 1. Extract any missing VxDs to _\Windows\System 2. Close Windows normally, and Reboot 3. Check that the correct VxDs are now being used (in Device Manager) Note: VxDs added after Windows installation are found in _\Windows SYSTEM\VMM32 Download these files These VxDs have been added to the Download Page (VxDs from CD). Please ensure you select the correct version: win98_vxd.zip for Windows98 win98_se_vxd.zip for Windows98SE

I also had the BSOD fatal exception error OE occurred at 0028:xxxxxxxx in VXD EMU10K1(01) and the patch at buyabs mentioned worked wonderfully. I wanted to add a note that I experienced the problem when I upgraded my processor from a Celeron 433 to a Celeron 667. This was the only hange to my system. I have a Microstar MS-6163 board, Sound Blaster Live, Voodoo 3000, 128 MB which worked great til the upgrade. It appears there is some incompatibility with the Intel Coppermine processors and the SB Live drivers.

I have a SB Live Value Geforce 2 MX 32mb (Detonator 3 drivers) PIII 733mhz Gigabyte Motherboard I am running windows me and when i installed it had no problems, the first time i got a BSOD was immediately after installing my SB Live drivers, and rebooting. The EMU10K1 error kept appearing when ever i tried to play any sound. I downloaded the newest drivers from creative's site and i never got the emu10k1 error again, but the video started to stuff up a lot, even with the new drivers. It erors mainly with 3d games and other 3d programs. I tried the vxd fix - http://www.overclockers.com.au/techstuff/a_dos_me/ this kept the blue screen away for awhile but as soon as i started a 3d game i got a vmm error I don't no if i'm th eonly one but i've gotten more than just vmm errors, these are the most common - vredir, vcache, vmm I really need help so can someone give me an answer, please????????????????

i have tried every thing to find out exactly what the problem is it MUST be a hardware problem i ONLY get the shutdown blue screen after the drivers to my video card are installed i have a AMD k-6 3d proccessor 64mb ram via chipset m/b ess 1868 sound card and a matrox g400 32 meg on win me HELP!

Yep, the modified EMU10k1.vxd fixed my problem, but the website has changed. It's now: http://www.buyabs.com/tskb/drvsnd.asp Thanks guys! Bill
