start up my pc.... boots up ok
wallpaper appears (but not explorer)....
then blue dos screen appears....
" a fatal exception OE has occured at 0028:C001545A. The current application will be terminated"

i don't even know what application was being terminated!
pressed enter at blue screen..
wallpaper disappears and i'm only left with a blank screen and my mouse pointer (that could still be moved around)....

dunno what the prob is 'coz i already ran ad-aware, cwshredder, spybot, ccleaner, and system tools like system file checker and scandisk....

nah... i'm not using mcafee.... i'm using avg and i already used it to check for probs... nothing found.

btw, everything goes ok when i reset my pc from the blank screen by just pressing the button in the cpu (HOW CRUDE!!) hehe....

i'm hypothsizing that i get this problem randomly whenever i boot up....

The reason I was asking is because you will get that error message with a couple of McAffee programs..

i'm not using any mcafee product

Is that the entire error message?? What does the "Details" area say??

the error message came in "the blue screen of evil", not in a dialog box as you'd normally expect.... that's the whole message..well... i deleted the options part (the one containing "press ctrl+alt+del to restart.... blah blah") basically what i posted were the vital parts of the message

Okay.. did a search on your problem and came up with everything from the McAffee problem to bad ram.. Sorry!!

got another blue screen message...

a fatel exception OE (sometimes OD) has occured at 0028:C0274182 in VXD VMM (06) +00002182.... i get different messages like this in random....

i ran dr. watson and it found kb891711 as altering the system files... it's a windows update and i've heard that it makes me and 98 se unstable... is this the root of the problem? shall i uninstall this update?

[Murray S.]

I would.. there is nothing to lose by doing just that!!
