I get a blue screen that says " a fatal exception oe has occurred at 0028:00005338 inVXD vmm(01)+00004338 " --- We've had a pretty good run of tracking down problems like these around here. Can you provide some more information on your system? Such as: - Hardware (CPU, RAM, video card, etc.) - OS - Utilities (antivirus, firewall, etc.) The more information you can provide the more likely we can figure it out. If it consistently happens when the screen saver comes on I would suspect one of the following: - Video driver - Utilities set to run "while screen saver is active" Can you provide the video driver version? Finally, is the error message consistent (i.e., is the memory location the same each time)? - Eric

Those blue screens are a Microsoft "innovation." In general the recommended solution seems to be to reboot when they occur, and hope they just go away. ;-)

Hi John, Are you running any kind of antivirus in the background? Have you looked for device conflicts in device manager? If you've got any little 'self-running' icons on your taskbar by the clock, disable as many of those as you can and see if the stability returns to either one or both computers. What about autoexec.bat/config.sys? Is there anything weird being loaded there? Andy
