Does anyone know what that error message on a blue screen indicates? The unit locks up on next keystroke. Win 98 S.E.

Seriously, don't listen to them.

Search around a bit, you'll find it

Dec,
Thanks! I think response # 1 was right, but # 2 didn't take into consideration that computer locks up at that point and is disabled. That's hard to live with! He probably didn't know that. Anyhow, thanks for the tip! Bob

I haven't really determined the problem and I don't have the quicktime 2.1.2 16bit, so that isn't the problem. It mostly but not always when I enable a dual monitor setup and then run Premiere 5.1. The program barely begins to load and then bails out. Sometimes I can run premiere, AND THEN enable the second monitor and it at times will work for hours.

Just had the very same problem having just used the upgrade Windows 98se disk to upgrade a Pentium 200MMX from Windows 95 version B, which I had to do in order to get the USB card I'd installed to work properly. The machine was fine before. This seems to occur when a program locks up and you press ctrl-alt-delete: instead of getting the close program dialog, I just get the dreaded blus screen.

Maybe that can help :
Error: Fatal Exception OE Has Occurred
