I recently tried to install the 6x86MX 266 MHz from Cyrix. After I started my computer, everything worked, except that I can not play any games (like Freespace) or watch any videos (avi, mpeg etc.). whenever I try it, I get a windows 98 blue screen stating the following: A fatal exception 0E has occured at 0028:C0051F9A in VXD VPICD(01) + 00001EA2 I tried to reinstall Windows 98 but it didn't work. What is the problem?

Ya, the Vid card driver would be the prob. However, without the vulgar language, Cyrix is a horrid cpu, just FYI, and if you experience many little odd slowdowns and errors, it is due to Cyrix processing. Your 233 is really running at around 175 MHz in a Intel or AMD system...
