"Windows protection error"
I don't repair computers nor do I know anything about them but the
lady living above me has a PI MMX 200Mhz com computer with 82 MB RAM (2 pairs of 72 pin SIMM modules) with a A07 Open motherboard made in Dec 18,1997. When ever she turns on her computer equipped with Windows 98 OS it does it's routine start up screens there after the display reads something like "Windows protection error must restart your computer" well I physically disconnected one part at a time like one pair of RAM,then the 44X CD ROM then the modem and the problem still persists. Note:during save mode operation the computer goes all the way to desktop but does not have a D drive icon (CD ROM) therefore she cannot use the CD ROM and in order for me to enable the "add/remove hardware" icon I cannot be in save mode.What's the problem with this computer. Thanks. |

"Windows protection error"
1. First off, is she connected to the internet at all? Virus & spyware
both come to mind. 2. There's a chance with a machine that old that the CMOS battery is about shot and therefore the BIOS is getting corrupted. 3. Is there a particular device listed with the error message? If so, it might provide a clue. 4. What's changed recently - any hardware or software changes? Windows updates installed recently? 5. If it boots ok in safe mode, could be back to #1, or could be a failing piece of hardware per #3, or a bit on the hard drive could have gone bad. Will it run scandisk in safe mode? If so, try that to see what shows up. Come back again with more info. WT "Sidney" wrote in message om...

Thanks. Sounds like a software/registry problem! You can try start the computer into dos by pressing F8 before the computer starts to load windows and select msdos in the menu following. In the command-prompt you can try the program Scanreg. If you type "Scanreg /restore" you might cure the problem if you restore to an old automatically stored registry-backup. / Per-Olof |

"Windows protection error"
Gee this is hard one.
You don't say if the OS is 98 or 98SE(Second Edition) 98 was very flakey hense microsft released SE If she is on the Internet without a virus scanner it could be a virus. Mcafee is a good one (www.mcafee.com) try also Adaware (www.lavasoft.de) it removes spyware and other things that are not viruses but annoying If she's had it since 97 make sure that all fans are turning and that they are free from dust. I have a small compressor that I use for this purpose. Your local auto workshop might be able to help you, don't forget the power supply. If you are getting as far as the desktop you have a fair chance that it is not hardware, but not to be ruled out. Has she tried to load any new software recently. Take off all extra hardware except RAM, video,floppy, CDROM, and harddisk and see if it boots OK. If all else fails a format and re-install might be the only option. If you can get into DOS you might be able to save her data. If you are going to play around with the hardware make sure you have yourself and the computer protected against static On 8 Sep 2003 09:02:48 -0700, (Sidney) wrote: I don't repair computers nor do I know anything about them but the lady living above me has a PI MMX 200Mhz com computer with 82 MB RAM (2 pairs of 72 pin SIMM modules) with a A07 Open motherboard made in Dec 18,1997.

"Windows protection error"
Windows often just gets hosed after a while, much of it is the fault of
sloppy applications that leave remnants or delete things they shouldn't when uninstalled. Reformat the hard drive and install the OS from scratch, if the hardware is ok then it'll work. Otherwise the next thing I'd suspect is bad RAM. "Sidney" wrote in message om...

The problem is that it's running Microsoft software. PeterV |

Fup: "Windows protection error"
The problem is that it's running Microsoft software.
Install one of the Operating Systems that Microsoft created in co-operation with a serious company, like IBM. That would therefore be: Windows NT, Windows 2000 or Windows XP. Although with Windows XP, Microsoft decided to tamper the one thing they hadn't really dared to lay their fingers on upto then: the Windows kernel. Therefore, Windows XP might also be unstable. But I don't know for sure. There's no reason to prefer Windows XP over Windows 2000 (unless you see your expensive computer as a toy), so I haven't installed it yet. I am trying to stall that decision as long as possible, until Microsoft devises some new trick to force me to update (i.e. a new service pack that makes my computer respond twice as slow, or 'buy' a law that forces people to only use their newest products). PeterV P.S. It's so fun to bash Microsoft, especially because whatever you say about them, there's allways at least half the truth in it :+). |

I dont think a 200mmx chip is the ideal thing for win2k or winNT. He should stick with win98se if possible. If we look at win2k and winnt and winxp then we see they were perfect for some of the worst worm/virii to grow.. 98se only had one major problem, that was the ability for a user to do a DoS attack on it and the pc just bluescreen.. I would guess that a 98se machine is probably pretty safe these days too, most virii being spread are going to be target'd for xp or 2k and no for an outdated os Thats why I use 98 -A I notice that very few of the never viruses target 98 . methinks the virus writers have all upgraded .. ? Anyone ? |

Make one--in any machine using the same OS version...look under the Windows Help screens to figure out how.... If the same version's not available, use any Win98 machine...even Win95 will do in a pinch. What you're after are the DOS CD drivers. You can do a full reinstall of the OS from there as a last resort. jak "Sidney" wrote in message om...

My laptop is a PII with only 96mb and I run 98SE on that, it's been pretty solid and works well for what it is, but 9x is more prone to being broken by shoddy applications. 2k is much more solid but requires more RAM, XP is mostly just 2k with a bunch of extra crap and requires even more RAM. |

But the choice of OS is mostly determined by the applications one needs to run. If what they want to do only runs on flavors of Windows then that's what they should run. The most stable OS in the world is useless if it doesn't support what someone needs to use. Like it or not the vast majority of consumer apps out there are windows based, if it was some other OS then people would criticize that instead. |

You don't have to keep the cd, once installed
copy the WIN98 folder to hard drive, that will take care of any subsequent "please insert the Windows disk" requests. Or, better yet. On a clean hard disk, copy the entire contents of the WIN98 directory off the Windows 98 SE installation CD over to the hard disk. First, of course, the hard disk must be totally clean. To be thorough, I start off with a new FAT32 partition and then format the drive. The Win98 boot disk will need these two files copied to it, however: These files are located in C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND on a computer that has Win98 on it already. XCOPY32.EXE XCOPY32.MOD After the computer has booted up with the installation boot disk and you have selected to start with CD-ROM support, type in this following line: A:\XCOPY32 D:\WIN98 C:\WIN98 /E /S You may receive the prompt about whether to indicate WIN98 as a directory or a file on drive C:. Choose to create WIN98 as a directory. Copying will proceed. Wait until the copying process has completed. When it does, remove the CD, go to the C: drive, and then go to the WIN98 directory. Type SETUP and the installation will proceed entirely from the hard drive itself. Don't forget to remove the floppy when indicated to do so before the computer is restarted by the installation program. The benefit to this is that all the files needed to do any update to Windows will not only be on the hard disk, the Windows registry will be set to automatically look for the needed files on the hard disk itself, so you won't be prompted to insert the Windows98 installation CD again or to have to tell Windows where the files are on the hard disk every time you have to install a set of Windows drivers. Just legally covering my butt. I am not liable for copyright infractions and piracy because of these directions. - Reinhart |
