Hi
I'm looking for solution to a similar problem. About a month ago, my Windows ME computer
started having errors like this that result in the BSOD and I am forced to shut down
with the power button every time. Seems to me it happens when I have too many windows
open (although nowadays that could mean as few as 3 or 4) but I also feel like it's
related to something like playing a video or a game or something, but not real sure
about that. The error message always includes "VxD" and usually "VPowerD". So I
went to the FreePCTech Support page you gave Sasha a link to up above and they have
a download for what sounds like just this problem.
I felt like I'd found exactly what I needed, especially because it says this on that
page: "The solution is rather easy. Download the VXD Fix file and upgrade your system.
It is important to note here that not ALL Fatal Exceptions will cease in all cases.
However, in almost all cases where users where getting Fatal Exceptions related to
VXD's the situation is corrected immediately, and does not continue or return later."
Perfect, right?
Nothing ever is...
After downloading and installing this fix, you still have to do one more thing, and
I guess I can't do this. It says, "*Note: you cannot update your system from cab
files on your hard drive. This requires your Windows Installation CD."
I don't have my ME Install CD anymore. I looked everywhere for it but no luck. And
it says you have to have it to run this fix, for whatever reason.
Anybody know of any other alternative?
I already downloaded the fix from that page, but I guess it won't do me any good
to run it, right? If I don't have the Windows Install CD?
This problem occurs at least once per Internet session, so it really is a problem
for us. Surely there will be something else I can do. Hoping someone here will know.
Thanks a lot for all your help.
