Somehow, I got windows back up...it's freaking out on me..most of the
time today won't even start in safe mode..get win protection errors like
ntkern and configms......could shut down any sec so I am saving every line.
don't know if I will see a response, but Rob, I am running 98SE...full
I may go out tonight and just buy another computer...charge....<sigh>
I think we've patched this thing enough.
I made a boot disk, and I have a CD-not sure if Cd is bootable. I've
never reformatted a drive or re-installed windows before on my own.
fumbling in the dark here..never booted from a disk either. I checked
the boot sequence in the bios..floppy is first, then hard drive, then
cd. I can't seem to change it-everytime I look at it it is back to
listing the floppy first.
I honestly don't know how I am on now, with windows running.
It's just not my day..I also broke the BORROWED pressure washer. If
that ain't enough to make you curse...

Bev, throwing hands up in the air and hoping for a quick response before
I step off the cliff to attempt a reformat.

Bev, Exception errors are usually one of those common errors seen by
Windows programmers. It indicates a programming error in the
routines which concern the "exception handler" which coordinates
which programs are accessing which parts of memory. HOWEVER, I have
also seen this error crop up when a memory board goes bad. A program
goes to access a piece of data it has placed in memory and it is not
there (or can't access it) and assumes someone else "stole" it. So
unless you have been doing your own programming, I will assume you
have a bad memory board. I would replace the memory board before I
bothered reinstalling Windows.
