    Have recently been getting exception , followed by fatal exception codes. Not sure what it means,however, when I scan with spybot, or go to the "darnit" site and run scans nothing comes up. These exceptions have happened prior to more things going very wrong. The following are the MOST recent exception codes. Hopefully someone can decifer whats going on this time..... " an exception has occured at 0028:C003B63C in VxD IOS (01) + 00000794. Thiswas called from 0028:C004B707 in VxD VFAT (01) + 000009F4B." Any key to resume....." A fatal Exception has occured in OE 0028:C003B636 in VxD IOS (01) + 00000794. The current application will be terminated."
    Neddless to say the computer didnot restart. I had to manually push the restart button.
    Here`s somethin else..I can`t access Internet Options from the Tools section of my page. BUT, That has been that way back when the idll.problem occured and registry keys where messed up.
    Well ...whatcha think? o_O :p

    Well, that's not an easy one to figure out from out here certainly. It could be so many different things. Is there a pattern at all? What are you running / trying to do when it happens?

    There are lots of questions that'll need to be asked probably and we may not find anything, however, the data that a HijackThis Log would provide the people here would be an excellent place to start. (While this may not be a hijack, these logs provide a lot of information on your system, so they are always helpful.)

    Generate and post the entire log and I'm sure people will have more questions after that.

    Thanks dontana. The information the log provides will give people a good idea about how your system is set up, and it may lead them to ask more specific questions regarding your problem.

    Keep in mind that these kinds of errors can be complex so it may take some time for people to come up with ideas (or not, we'll see), so you may have to check back periodically.

    Hopefully people will step in with ideas or suggestions.

    By the way, when you want to add a post here use the "reply" button at the top or bottom of this thread here, rather than posting a new topic. ;)

    THanks Mickey...but...nothing there that came close to my current issue. I did however manage to travel to a few different microsoft pages that came close...but no cigar. Is it possible that the problem is a first? Where exactly should I post my information for consideration? o_O ps.....taking 5 from info overload :p

    Hi dontana,

    Could you check the version of ios.vxd ?
    Find the file, rightclick and choose properties.
    If the version number is higher then 4.00.953 ignore my post.

    Regards,

    Pieter

    hey guys and ghouls;
    Listen to this...when my home page loaded, today, (which is set for my yahoo.com) it barely started to download and went to a black screen. Also the cursor became an hour glass. conrl,alt,del. , did not function. pressed manual restart on tower to make the restart happen. Anyway,it happened again. Did all of my scans, spybot,hijack this,norton,disk clean-up, etc. negative results. I also have downloaded bhod emon and spyware blaster. I guess they run automatically.
    It seems as thou I`m missing or overlooking a test or scan to perform. I know something must be wrong, otherwise these funky little things wouldn`t be happening......right? o_O :p

    My husband had the same thing happen. It turned out to be spam advertising, with a new twist to get the recipient to open it: looking as if the recipient sent it. It was somehow faked as having been sent from his former ATTBI address which no longer is accessible for anyone to use, at all, since the transition to CoNcast service. mj :)
