Hi Listers,

Just finished putting together my third system and have run into something that
never happened to me before.  My system is as follows:

Pentium III Intel Celeron 1000MB
512 MB SDRAM
ASUS CUV4X-E Motherboard
Apollo Pro 133A Chipset
NVIDIA TNT video card - 32 MB RAM
sound card (don't remember the brand)
US Robotics 56K modem

I've loaded Windows 98 SE several times, but am unable to load many other programs.
So, I start again with reformatting and installing.  Each time I have gotten
the BSOD saying an exception OE has occurred at 0028:BFF95479 in VXD---.  This
was called from 0028:C)29A71B in VXD.VWIN32(05)+00003243.  It may be possible to
continue normally.

Well, it wasn't.  Now I can only get a few seconds into the installation and I
get a General Protection fault that says SUWIN caused a General Protection
Fault in module USER.EXE at 0001.2B06.

Also, I notice when I've been fairly successful at installing WIN 98 several
VXD files don't load at that's when I'll either get caught in a loop that keeps
rebooting the computer or just the BSOD.

Is there something in BIOS or CMOS that I need to do?  I've been able to do
less and less each time I try so now I can't get anywhere.

I've read about resetting the CMOS, so if that's my problem I'll need step by
step instructions.  I know some things, but there's even more I don't know.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Diana
