need some help with a fatal exception error

[jamess]

Lately I have been getting a fatal exception 0E has occured at 0177:BFF996E8. It mostly does this when I shutdown or restart but it has done it during operating my computer too. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
James

We need to know what type of system you have, but most of all, what have you got running? There's something running at shut-down that just won't go down gracefully.

If it isn't in your start-up menu (which I bet is cluttered with several things you don't use each & every time you use your system) then it'll be in your registry in the local machine configuration. I forget the exact key, but you can find it by doing a search on "Run" in the registry using regedit.

Check out the properties of every file executing in the task list and eliminate absolutely everything you don't use each & every time you turn on your system.

My guess is you'll stumble across it and speed up your system at the same time.

Sorry about not giving my computer specs.

Here they are:

Abit bh6
Cel 300A@450 (100mhz bus)
128meg PC100
Acer CDR-RW
Creative 18x Cdrom
Win98
15gig Maxtor
SB Live Value
Creative Ann. Pro
Ess 56k modem

As for my sys. tray I'm only showing my update for Win98, speaker & AVP antivirus.
I've already gone into system configuration and disabled everthing that I don't use and I've also gotten a Vxd error that's syas it something to do with Vmm (something/forgot to write it down). Could this be possibly faulty memory causing this? It has only started a few weeks ago and I've only installed the video card lately other than that I haven't changed anything. Thanks guys for any help on this.

jamess-
Try Start=>Run=>Type SFC and Click OK. Scan for altered files if any files are missing restore them from your system disk if that doesn't fix the prob. get the name of the specific file and extract that file.
