Most GPFs or BSODs, (General Protections Errors and Blue Screens of
Death), are caused by either a bad or badly written hardware driver on
the system.  You probably should investigate your video card driver,
usually the most likely candidate, then your modem driver and so forth.
Check the manufacturer's web site for newer drivers.
See the article I wrote discussing this issue at:
    http://nospin.com/pc/pcs05-7.html
titled:  Tips for Troubleshooting GPFs in Windows

You also may be missing a VXD file or you have loaded an older software
program that has replaced the need VXD file with an older one that does
not work.  If you are using WIndows98, read the information we supply
