Machine: Advantage! 486SX/33(Mhz) 32 meg ram, BIOS 2.02 CD Roms: generic 40x, Philips external CCD 3610 Everything was fine after I had reinstalled Windows 95B and IE5 Windows update, my Philips driver, all the Adaptec software, and etc. five times. Finally got the %@$# fatal exception 0E to go away. Then I put in the generic 40x cd rom, and YAY! My old friend fatal exception 0E was back again. Whereas before it only came up when I tried to format a CDRW, now it comes back every time I try to do anything at all with my CDRW. This has been an awful week that I and fatal exception 0E have been having. Someone is long overdue for assasination, only I don't have any guns and can't afford one (hence the 486 and not a Pentium III), and I don't think there are enough bullets to get everybody responsible for the current "state of the art" systems we have today. If anybody is out there, I would really appreciate it if you could email me (PLEASE!) and tell me exactly what to do to fix this problem, short of finding a good dumpster which is what I'm just about ready to do.

firstly sounds like an older machine and is it an older version of 95, sounds like you getting buffer errors which is taking all system memory. try using CDRWIN3 program can down load from net, which will allow you set buffers and has good help files. Also you might get proxy errors with ie5 , recommend going back to ie4. try also to increase memory in the machine.
