VxD errors are all about faulty hardware. Usually caused by bad driver
files but not always( could be just bad hardware). These issues were
always a pain to deal with in W9x and ME because of how W9x deals
with drivers...and this caused complications on repairing the
errors.
Windows XP with its Superior driver handling capabilities stopped VxD
issues except as noted from defective hardware.
In saying that, I would venture to state that the upgrading from
W9x/Me to XP would more than likely solve the issues. Your computer
can handle the upgrade other than the possibility of faulty
hardware...In that case XP would not install a driver for it and you
would either have to remove or totally disable the faulty hardware.
Note*************
I really don't like the upgrading act ....back up everything to disc
and then do a complete reformat (NTSF) and do a clean installation of
XP which can be accomplished with an upgrade version of XP if you have
the older installation disc to prove upgrading check.
