This just started happening. on startup sometimes I get

WHILE INITIALIZING DEVICE IOS:
WINDOWS PROTECTION FAULT ERROR. YOU NEED TO RESTART YOUR COMPUTER.

so I reboot in safe mode, restart from there and all is fine except all the desktop icons are rearranged. what to do then? some of you guys are good with winders (it's 98se), right?

ummmmm, try running diskcheck on your drives, and check the box for "scan for and attempt recovery..." you might have a corrupt driver. (kinda like a dodgy chauffer)

This error can be caused in a variety of ways unfortunately - one of which is when your memory isn't functioning correctly...

One of my 256MB Memory sticks kind of died a little while ago leaving me with 128Mb on that particular stick.. the overall system reported 384Mb approx and did run... but also crashed out occasionally with the error message you mentioned above. Only solution was to get working stable mem back in the machine..

does your bootlog.txt file (on C: drive root) show any errors/failures?

look for an "InitFailure" or "LoadFailure" message.

you must have changed something on the PC for it to 'suddenly' start doing this innit??

here's a bit of my bootlog - notice how EACH entry for loading or initialising etc has a duplicate 'SUCCESS' line - all loads must have this second 'succeed' line accompanying it - so that's where you'll see any error.

[000CBA88] Loading Vxd = vkd

[000CBA88] LoadSuccess = vkd

[000CBA88] Loading Vxd = vdd

[000CBA88] LoadSuccess = vdd

[000CBA88] Loading Vxd = vflatd

[000CBA88] LoadSuccess = vflatd

[000CBA89] SYSCRITINIT = VMM

[000CBA89] SYSCRITINITSUCCESS = VMM

[000CBA89] SYSCRITINIT = MTRR

[000CBA89] SYSCRITINITSUCCESS = MTRR

I'd have to look at the bootlog after a bad bootup, right? not when it boots OK.

Influx: mac at work for design shit, pc at home for music shit.
