A deadly blue screen sends my computer to hell! Take a Look!

[Varborta]

Everytime I got this blue screen it would sent my computer to hell and start all the freeze work. But leave my mouse alive.

The blue screen says
a fatal exception OE has occcured at 0028:C000BDB9 IN VXD VMM(01)+0000ADB9

In addition, do you know what part of computer cause all this freezes but not freeze the mouse? I doubt its cpu and ram but might be others.

Appreciate for any help.

One thing to check. Did you recently install new drivers for any hardware ? Sometimes .DLL files
on these installs will not override to the proper drive/folder leaving you with 2 sets of .DLL
files. You system may want to access both of these, becomes confused and crashes to the blue screen of death. This also known as "Welcome to DLL H**".

Run a comparison in "find files" off the start button. Note any duplicate DLL files. Usually those in Windows/system should NOT be touched. Do a right mouse click on the file and go to properties then look up the version. Compare dupicates and discard the older versions.

Also if your running windows 98 look at the "system file checker" which can do something similar.

Good luck !

What OS is this from? Looks to be win98?

VXD = virtual device driver (normally hardware)
VMM = virtual memory manager (windows component)

Don't have time now, but when i get home I'll take a look. Is suspect vmm32.vxd is corrupt. This is a key windows file.

What version of the 4in1 drivers are you using?

 

[Varborta]

yes its win98se
I am using the latest via4.29a

Also, I just changed from cacheman 3.8 to 4.1 the latest one and use the setting of win98 small rams, because my old setting is probably the one cause the problem.
My old one is the recommanded setting from major web sites
I have 128meg ram cas2

old setting
min. disk cache 16384
max disk cache 32768
chunk size 2048
name cache 677
directory cache 32


New one - Low memory setting(default)
min. disk cache 2048
max. disk cache 7168
chunk 512 disable
name cache 2000
path cache 32

Is that alrite? and so far its pretty stable at this moment who knows when its going to pop.
What do you think the desire setting should be for 128meg

Hey, your problem is same to me, I got this BSOD when the system goes standby.... dont know how to get rid of this, still asking people to answer...But i dont think this is related to vcache settings.Isn't your 8megs maxdiskcache is too small ?? for 128, it's okay to set it to 16megs or even 24megs, it will boost your cache performance.

my new setting
min disk cache 8192
max 18432
chunk size 640
name cache 3072
path cache 64
read ahead 32

Good news its now finally fixed

my computer no longer doing it.

I pinpoint the problem down to the memory manage problem.
Or, my previous cacheman is working unproperly

And, also my via driver got crashed too so I updated with the latest one.

With those two been done, and got my computer fixed!

Thanks for all your help.
