computer stalls when modem dials

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion (More info?)

Everytime I try and connect to the internet, when the modem dials, the
computer stops responding and after 15 seconds I get the blue screen of
death? Any Help?

Your responses will only be as good as the information
provided. You did not even provide critical numbers from the
BSOD. Responses will be just as misleading.

Immediately, the message says declares a problem with the
Virtual Memory (VMM). C000 is the address of the video
controller suggesting that video memory may be problematic.
Entering "fatal exception 0D" into an internet search engine
should result is waves of information and possible solutions
from Microsoft and other parties. Just one reason may be the
graphics accelerator for that video card is not set to proper
speed - depending on what is being used as a video card.
See http://aumha.org/win4/kbefe.php for starters.
