Windows 98 OE 0028:FF002303 Fatal Exception

Hi my windows 98 displays this message at ramdom times, 'A fatal exception OE
has occurred at 0028:FF002303. When the message comes up, my computer freezes
and I have to shut down using the power button. Can anyone tell me what this
problem is and how to solve it? It happens almost everytime I use the
computer. Thanks for your help.

The error has nothing to do with Windows Update.

PS: It's "fatal exception 0E" (number zero, not letter "oh").

The 0028 errors {IIRC} seem to relate to VXD and/or registry errors.

Could potentially be a corrupted driver or related registry entry...

Any other information available, like what was done just prior to the
error...

If it wasn't too long ago you MAY be able to correct it by reverting to an
older saved registry if available.
