115614 2003-01-21 04:27:00 for some reason when i try to boot my window 98se
when the booting sequence goes up to loading windows with the win98 picture showing
the blue screen of death comes up saying
A fatal exception 0E has occured at 017F:00000009...etc

is there a way to find out what that means and how to fix it other than reinstalling windows?

Have you tried booting into SafeMode? - Also try going to the Troubleshooting Fatal Exception Errors Website (support.microsoft.com) from Microsoft - it has everything to fix them - including a list of errors

www.infinisource.com

Often these things are caused by a rogue program or virtual device driver trying to load at start up.
If Safe Mode works, run msconfig and from the Start up tab disable everything except explorer and systray. If you dont get the blue screen then you know its one of the disabled programs. You may be able to find out which one by a process of elimination.

Also if the error mentions vxd, make a note of the name of the .vxd file, as that will give a lead to the bad program.
If you find the culprit, uninstall it, and try a new install, or just dispense with it altogether.

At first I thought that Hexadecimal number was random, and changed from computer to computer, but if you poke it in to google you might find a cure for your fatal exception all ready worked out.

The following site may also be of help fatal Errors (www.aumha.org) click in the left pane on 'Fatal Exception 0E'.
