Every now and then a "Windows Protection Error" message comes up during the
startup and shut down proccess in Windows Me. I tried to look for a fix or a patch
but I could not find it. If anyone knows how to fix the problem please post a message
or e-mail me. Thanks.

Tip: Run a free scan for common Windows errors ad

re: Windows Protection Problem In Windows ME Friday, August 17, 2001 at 5:27 am Posted by Suzanne (11 messages posted) I'm getting this "windows protection" message - on a blue screen - but only at shutdown, when I'm prompted to restart the computer. I've finally resorted to just turning off the power and expecting it to run scandisk next time I start up. I can't find ANY information about this - so any help would be appreciated. Email me at cherrycreeksouth@yahoo.com, post a message, send a carrier pigeon, anything would be appreciated!!

I found an article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base at http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q149/9/62.asp?LN=EN-US&SD=gn&FR=0&qry=windows%20protection&rnk=4&src=DHCS_MSPSS_gn_SRCH&SPR=WINME According to this article, the problem may be related to Virtual Device Drivers - if anyone has any experience with the suggestions in this article I'd like to know.
