I am a relative novice so please bear with me. My brother has a Compaq
Presario. I don't know the processor speed but I think it is
a 133 using a Cyrix chip. It was one of the cheap PCs offered for sale
about 2 years ago.
The computer boots up, goes through the boot process, Win95 screen comes up
and then the blue screen with Fatal Exception OD. I assumed that WIN95 had
somehow become corrupted and hoped that by reinstalling WIN95 the computer
would work.
I have booted in safe mode - step-by-step. Goes all the way through & then
when I tell it to load the WIN95 drivers it churns for 10-15
minutes and then the Fatal Exception OD error again. I tried to restore the
registry as per instructions in the WIN95 manual. No
luck.
Tonight we reloaded WIN95, rebooted the computer and got the same error
message - Fatal Exception OD.
Should we now consider reformatting the drive?
Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be?
Thank You
Adele
