Hi,
Can you guys help me? My computer - A windows 98 SE with about 128mb RAM was running fine until 14:00 GMT when it locked up in the screen saver and after that I tried turning the power off and restarting the computer and it seemed to be fine until it started loading explorer.exe and other various system files. Sometimes it came up with blue screen errors and other times illegal operations. Here are some of the odd blue screen errors my computer came up with:
--
Error in 0000:00000204
Error in 016F:BFF9DFFF
Error in 0028:C001545A
Error in 0028:00000009
Error in 0028:C0014E88 in VxD --- called from 0028:C0015B05 VxD ---
--
Also, I was getting illegal operations with explorer.exe and kernal32.dll. I checked up on different websites and it sounds as if it is a memory problem because nothing at all seems to load when windows explorer starts up.
After all the errors, the computer then either restarts itself with a protection fault or freezes, but I can still move the mouse.
I know this IS NOT a virus because it is not connected to the internet or any network and I have not copied any programs from the internet onto it and also I have got the latest AVG 7 scanner.
But there is one thing I noticed - when it was working fine it said that there was only about 200Kb Memory Available!! Something's got to be wrong.... but I don't know if it's the memory or not
Any ideas, because I REALLY need this computer, it's got loads of stuff I need to keep and use on it.
Please help!
Thanks a lot, Jamie
