45515 2002-04-25 01:12:00 Ever since we brought our computer, over six months ago, it has been Intermittently been giving us blue screen errors. Heres one it gave me just five minutes ago.

'An exception OE has occured at 0028:C00134C8 in VxD. This was called from 0028:C003064F in VxD. It may be possible to contunue normally.'

Is there any steps I can take to avoid such errors?

We have an Athlon 1400, 256 MB RAM, Windows ME, Nvidia Geforce 2 MX video card, CMI8738/C3DX PCI Audio.

This site gives info on checking memory:

powerslave.users.50megs.com

Checking the BIOS settings for memory timings would be a good start point.

You could always try running msconfig.exe and disabling most programs at start up to see if the BSOD doesnt occur. Then re-enable one by one, if BSOD returns you may be able to pinpoint the program causing the trouble.
If the BSOD occurs erratically, it will be more difficult to locate the cause.
