I have just Formatted my computer and loaded the OS (Win 98) back onto it.
It won't start in "Normal Mode", it says: "Fatal Exception occurred at
0028:C005177E in VXD VPICD(01)=0001EA2. When I press CTRL-ALT-DEL it
re-starts, but does the same thing. Goes through the whole start-up process
and then won't show the desktop, just a pale blue, blank screen (not that
the colour matters!). If I press "any key to continue" it goes straight to
the pale blue, blank screen. However, it will start and do everything right
when I start it in "safe mode". Can anybody help with this problem please.
By the way, when it does it's "scan disk" at the start, it doesn't find
anything wrong!
