| 265226 | 2004-08-25 06:57:00 | Hi there, Does anyone know of any freeware/shareware for detecting software or hardware conflicts? The reason I ask is that I recently reinstalled Win 98SE and since then have repreat freezing, which has to result in shutdown every time. I am also getting a dreaded blue screen all the time which says: "A fatal exception OE has occurred at 0028:C0031AC7. The current application will be closed". Actually nothing does close (that I can see) but it still freaks me. Any help on these two would me most appreciated. Thanks Johnny |

Not much use trying to see what detects software conflicts with shareware or freeware, if it brings up a blue screen. Whatever software u use u wouldnt see what caused it anyway when the blue screen appears. BUT it looks like its an Outlook Express prob. Update the Internet Explorer SP1 update that might fix it |

Is there anything you in particular you are doing at the time (opening a programme, clicking a folder or link), what software are you running at the time (particularly AV like Nortons, background stuff). Why did you reinstall windows (need I ask ;) ) Cheers Murray P Cheers Murray P |

| 265229 | 2004-08-25 07:21:00 | To complete your query, Fatal Exceptions can be a number of things, either hardware or software related. I know of no programmes for win 98 that will capture the event and give it back in a log like the event viewers for win2k and XP (someone might know). Once you narrow it down a bit you could then search system and programme logs to see if you can find the offending device or software. In the meantime if you want a bit of light reading go here (support.microsoft.com) plus the associated links to see if any describe you situation. Cheers Murray P |

| 265230 | 2004-08-25 08:28:00 | Here's another site with 0E exception error info. www.infinisource.com Note it is 0E not OE, nothing to do with Outlook Express :) Grotty drivers can cause problems. It's always a good troubleshooting practice to stop most programs except for Systray and Explorer from starting up using the options in msconfig, then if you dont get any problems re-instate programs one by one. If problems start again,you will have a pretty good idea which program is to blame. |
