I have a Pentium III running Windows 98 with Outlook Express 5 for email. Intermittently, the message appears ‘A Fatal Exception 0E has occurred at O15F:BFF9DBA7. Press any key to continue’. Then when I press a key another error message comes up ‘A Fatal Error has occurred. An exception 0E has occurred at 0028:C15D4FA9 in VxD AFVXD (01)00001649 called from 0028:C1840514 in VxD PPPMAC (04) 000079B4′. Do you have any suggestions as how to remedy this? (more…)

I use Windows 98 with 64mb RAM and a 6 GB hard drive. I bought ‘Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2′ but when I go to the menu which asks to choose ‘Single Player’ or anything else the game does not go further and crashes to the desktop. I reinstalled the program several times but with the same result. I installed the CD on another PC and it worked very well. Any suggestions? (more…)

Recently, I changed my ISP and I am having problems with my favourite web pages not updating. I have contacted my ISP who state that this is not their fault. I tried emptying my Temporary Internet Files manually before logging on to ensure that there is nothing on my hard drive. I have checked and double checked to ensure the settings are correct. The frustrating part about it is that it doesn’t effect all web pages. To make sure I am reading the current version I have to press CTRL and ‘Refresh’ at the same time on each web site I visit. I took my system unit to my new ISP’s and hooked it up to a monitor next to one of the ISP’s monitors. The Technician and I typed a web address at the same time and 2 different web pages appeared. On my monitor appeared an old page and on the ISP’s monitor appeared a new page. Presently, I am terminating my account with my new ISP as I believe it is too much of a coincidence for this to happen and they are beginning to think I am a nuisance. Any suggestions? (more…)

I have been fortunate enough to upgrade my stand alone home computer twice in the last 4 months. On both occasions I naturally had to reinstall program files and transfer data files. The only data files I have had difficulty with are my Microsoft Outlook Address Book. The first time I was able to locate the relevant file and copy it, and the new computer accepted the file without a problem. Now the computer is telling me that the Address Book is a read-only file that can’t be copied. Is there any way around this? I’m certainly not looking forward to re-keying all the entries. (more…)

I have been unable to label disk drives (other than my hard drive) through the My Computer properties dialogue boxes. I am running Windows 98 SE. Any ideas please? (more…)
