How to prevent BSODs in '98 but NOT with ME. CUT & PASTE to an email message to activate 
the html link.

It is said that there are 7 missing VxDs which can be responsible for many of the 
BSODs which occur with '98. 

These are:
 
configmg.vxd 
ntkern.vxd 
vcomm.vxd 
vdd.vxd 
vdmad.vxd 
vflatd.vxd 
vmouse.vxd 

You should copy these from your cabinet files into C:\Windows\System and then reboot 
your computer. 

Make sure that you run scanregw.exe and put a registry restore point in BEFORE you 
do. Just in case there is a problem. 

Alternatively there is a .zip-file fix available. (See also a shut-down fix for '98 
half-way down the page.)
