Any time I try to launch a downloaded program or restart (warm boot) my computer I get a fatal exception error occuring at 07D8:00000218. What exactly is causing this and are there any suggestions on a solution? Someone has suggested to me that my FAT32 is corrupted and I need to reinstall Win98SE,yet when I ran Scandisk there are no errors detected.

I also get the another error after the Desktop launches, when I try to launch Internet Explorer it seems. If I press any key to continue I can, if I press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart, the system just hangs (with the message that "Windows is Shutting Down", but it never does!) and does not restart.The error message reads as follows: "A fatal exception OE has occurred at 0028:C16567DB in VXD WSOCK2(01)+0000373B.The currrent application will be terminated."I am then given the option of either pressing any key to proceed/restart by Ctr+Alt+Del.This time I also got an illegal operation reading as follows: "LCFINST caused an invalid page fault in module KERNEL32.DLL at 0177:bff88396." I tried using Microsoft's troubleshooter all last night with no positive result.
