I just installed a new cpu today. P3 866mhz 133fsbus. After booting up for the first time It blue screens and says A fatal exception has occurred at 0028:c176B3B in VXD EMU10K1(01) = 0000B71B. It happens whenever I try to run dxdiag.exe or something that requires direct sound. I've been told this is a driver problem due to the VXD EMU part and I am downloading the latest drivers. The file is 19mb and I'm on a 56k so it will take a while. I just thought it was strange to suddenly happen after I installed the new CPU. So, while I wait, I was wondering if any of you have any other ideas other than downloading the latest drivers.... Oh yeah, my soundcard is an SBLIVE!
