Just finished building a new P4 system. Trying to load Windows ME onto
it, but after installation I recieve the following blue screen during
boot:
"An exception OE has occurred at 0028:C006115D in VxD VNETBIOS(01) +
00000B8D. This was called from 0028:C023F58B in VxD VMM(OC) +
0000058B."
Tried removing Client for Microsoft Networks, seeing as "VNETBIOS" was
listed. Tried disabling the Intel board's onboard network. Tried
loading Windows without loading VNETBIOS. Nothing I did could get
Windows ME to load. It'll load in Safe Mode, but that's it.
Any thoughts? Suggestions? Is ME simply not suited to modern systems?
Here's a whole page on Windows Protection Errors, with a description, some
key general articles for approaching them, and many articles focusing on
specific situations: http://aumha.org/win4/kbewpe.htm
