Windows98 Fatal Exception Errors
ZB
I hope it's OK to cross-post this. I am having major bluescreen problems
with Win98. Here is an example:
"A fatal exception 0E has occured at 0028:c1695663 in VXD MCSCAN32(01) +
000267C3. The current application will be terminated."
I got this when I tried to run a Windows system diagnostic tool. The only
apps that work at the moment are IE5.0 and OE5.5. It doesn't always mention
the above app. I don't know what those numbers mean above, sometimes they
are different.
Everything else I try to run, whether from CDs or installed s/w bluescreens.
i have checked for h/w conflicts - there are none. I have tried to
de-install all s/w which I don't use. I can't remember doing anything
special before this happened although my wife did try and fail to install a
newer version of MSN Messenger which has now been deleted and the original
version re-installed.
Please, any suggestions?
Thanks!

check is RAM, you may have a bad stick of memory, pull one out and try, if
you still get Blue Screens, put it back in and pull out a different one and
try again, also, if you deleted messenger the wrong way, you may have tossed
out a shared file, in that case, you will have to try and reinstall
windows...Good Luck.

This behavior can occur when McAfee VirusScan is installed on the
computer.
RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, use one of the following methods.
Method 1
Disable the Vsstat.exe component (from McAfee's VirusScan). For

Contact McAfee for an update to the VirusScan program.
Method 3
Remove McAfee VirusScan. To do this, follow these steps:
On the taskbar, click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control
Panel.
In Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs.
In the Add/Remove Programs Properties dialog box, click McAfee VirusScan
on the Install/Uninstall tab, and then click Add/Remove.
Follow the instructions to completely remove McAfee VirusScan from the

for the most part, it is "not ready for prime time" as far as consumer
systems go. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a big Micro$loth fan, it's just
that for most users "point and click" requires a major investment if
intellect.... it's lucky they can still breath while deciding if "right
click" means "use the right hand to click" or "put the mouse on the
right side of the keyboard". Imagine what would happen if they were
asked to untar a file.....

Or ask a Windose user to return to the pre X windows days of Linux
or Unix.:-) The two hundred plus commands and combinations of
cammands would soon sort the determind from the faint of
heart.<G>.
