Help Blue Screen

[Guest]

Help, I'm desperate. I get an error message occassionally on reboot and definately on abnormal shutdown restart. I have exhausted all other newsgroups and I'm ready to give up on ME, except that I like the speed of startup etc...

Here's what I get

An error has occurred.
To continue Press Enter to return to windows or press ctrl alt del to restart. If you do this you will lose any unsaved information.

Filename VCOMM (05) + 00000AD9 Error: OE:0028:C02

So I press enter and I get the following message

An error has occurred.
To continue Press Enter to return to windows or press ctrl alt del to restart. If you do this you will lose any unsaved information.
Filename VMM (01) +00009617 Error : 0E:0028:C000A617

At this point rebooting does no good. I have to boot into safe mode and do a system restore. Now I'm pretty compentant when it comes to PC's. If anybody has any suggestion as to what these error message pertain to, I would be eternally grateful. I am running the following for hardware

PIII450Mhz
256mb Ram
Toshiba CD-ROM
Plextor 12x10x32 burner
Acer 10x8x32 burner
3Com Nic card
Diamond Viper V770 non ultra video
Wacom Artpad II with latest drivers
MS mouse
External USR modem
TV tuner card.

All worked fine under Windows 98SE

Thanks in advance for any input.

Are all of your drivers compatible with Windows ME? What motherboard do you have? One more suggestion, you will get more of a response if you post in the CPU section.

Hi,
Yes all drivers are compatible with ME. I have a Microstar BX Master.

Thanks I will post on CPU

did you try removing all PCI cards except for your video card, boot up...and check system, each time fitting another PCI card until you either find the problem occurs at that point, or find it changes nothing.
Just a thought it may help isolate the problem without using hardware testers.

I suggest you backup your data, reformat the hard drive and do a clean installation of WindowsME. Probably take you 2 or 3 hours, but will save you lots of time in the long run.
