18426 2001-09-08 01:54:00 Often when we boot up, just before the decktop is diplayed we get a blue screen of death. An error in 'VXD' and some numbers. The computer freezes and i cannot folow the instructuons on screen. The computer has been reformatted and all application reloaded in order to eliminate this, but it was unsucessful. Could it be a hardware problem and is which one? Guest (0)

Luckily its very cheap currently. You can get 128MB for ~$60, just don't get the really cheap stuff that doesn't come with a warranty.

18431 2001-09-09 21:42:00 Try entering the error message into (e.g.) Google.com search engine. I did this and was surprised that within a few seconds I was reading the help page (from Norton's) that explained the error message. Guest (0)
