big3b Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 About am month ago I did a complete install of 98se and the service pack. The computer will freeze, restart or bluescreen once ar twice a day, but otherwise runs great. On e of the blue screens says: An Exception 0E has occurred at 0028:CIBCD3FA in VXD MSTCP(01) + 0000209A. This was called fom 0028:CIC4BA44 in VXD PPPMAC(04) + 00007B14. It may be possible to continue normally. ANy help would be appreciated. Here is my system config:ASUS A7V8X-X MOBOAMD Athlon 1.1 Gig512mb Kingston Value Ram PC 3200USR 5610b ModemATI Radeon 9600 PROWestern Digital 120 Gig 7200 RPMWindows 98SE sevice pack 2.1aAlso I ran Fresh Diagnoise and it said that my ram was running way to slow compared to others and the harddrive was reading and writing way to slow. I downloaded Doc Memory testor and ran the burn-in test for 8 hours and no issues. What do you all think? Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles__ Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 (edited) Probably the file called pppmac.vxd and mstcp.vxd in your windows system are corrupted. Try to uninstall/remove "dial up adapter" and "tcp/ip" in your control panelAre connecting to the net with DSL or Dialup,if dsl might check this page after problem it fixed.http://www.speedguide.net/read_articles.php?id=119Do a find on your system files and see how many copys of the file PPPMAC.VXD.

big3b Posted August 17, 2006 Author Share Posted August 17, 2006 Thanks Charles, I will try that tonight, thanks, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLXX Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Athlon... check to ensure it's not overheating.I recently serviced a system that was displaying the same symptoms. The CPU was idling at 52°C. After cleaning out the fan and heatsink, the temperatures decreased to low 30s and the system was stable again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big3b Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 Charles, I only have 1 instance of PPPMAC.VXD. I am going to try unstalling the things that you suggested.LLXX, I feel alittle silly, when I was switching boards I thought that there was some stuff that was built up between the processor and heatsink. Now don't laugh, I cleaned it off and put it back together not knowing what it was. I forgot about it until just now. At startup the CPU temp is 48°C and five minutes later it is up to 51°C. I am not for sure what that stuff is exactly called but I remembered that it helps in the cooling of the CPU. I think I need to stroll down to the local computer shop and pick some up, it will probably help things out. I think I read somewhere that Nanotherm PCM+ is some good stuff. The CPU fan is running at 4856 rpms, so that is at least working. I will let you know thanks. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLXX Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 You're lucky you didn't burn your CPU. It's called Thermal Compound. It's mandatory for the new CPUs, as they produce so much heat they'll overheat without the compound to transfer the heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big3b Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 Ok, I went into the system properites from the control panel and removed the dial-up adapter, and i believe a fast ethernet adapter, nothing actually listed as tcp-ip. Now when starts up it blue screens saying: Invalid VxD Dynamic link call from IPCDRVS(01) + 0022098 to device "0028", service 8004. Your windows configuration is invalid. I reinstalled 98se and service pack 2.1a and get the same message. I think I am going to have to first completly erase the harddrive then do an install? Boy do I have problems.

trickytwista Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 did you replace the thermal compound paste yet? as it certainly wont be helping things without it and it also wont be doing the computer much good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big3b Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 going tonight after work to get some. I am using my laptop for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles__ Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 To reinstall dial-up you need to good to add/remove and then windows setup,high light communication then click details and remove the check from dial-up networking,close everything and then go back and put the check back in dial-up click OK and windows will ask for your 98se cd to reinstall.

erpdude8 Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 (edited) Probably the file called pppmac.vxd and mstcp.vxd in your windows system are corrupted. Try to uninstall/remove "dial up adapter" and "tcp/ip" in your control panelthere is no mstcp.vxd file in win98se, charles__. I think you mean mstcp.dllTo reinstall dial-up you need to good to add/remove and then windows setup,high light communication then click details and remove the check from dial-up networking,close everything and then go back and put the check back in dial-up click OK and windows will ask for your 98se cd to reinstall.I would also copy ALL of the Win98SE setup files from the Win98se CD onto the hard drive (hey, there's PLENTY of space so there is NO excuse whatsoever not to store all the Win98se setup files on the hard drive). I'd put them in the \WIN98SE\ folder and then change the SourcePath registry entry to point to that folder on the HD so that I wont be asked for the Win98se CD when adding a component from Add/Remove programs Windows Setup tab.Ok, I went into the system properites from the control panel and removed the dial-up adapter, and i believe a fast ethernet adapter, nothing actually listed as tcp-ip. Now when starts up it blue screens saying: Invalid VxD Dynamic link call from IPCDRVS(01) + 0022098 to device "0028", service 8004. Your windows configuration is invalid.the TCP/IP protocol is listed in the Network control panel applet, not in the System properties Device Manager box.I would also check the configuration of the fast ethernet network adapter in Device Manager. What kind of ethernet network adapter are you using, big3b? Edited August 18, 2006 by erpdude8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big3b Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 erpdude8,The adapter that I am using is what ever came on my board, ASUS A7V8X-X MOBO. I am not connected to any network though. Charles,I saw that in add remove and second guessed myself and removed what I removed. When I get home I will try that. Thanks, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big3b Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 Well I went to the local Radio Shack and bought a $2.00 tube of silicon based thremal compound. Then I addressed the other issue. I looked up the file IPCDRVS and discovered that it was a part of my firewall program. So I removed that program and bingo the computer booted. So know that I back online with a CPU running cooler, we will see how it preforms. If I do not get a cahnce to update about the performance before moday it will be next weeknd because that wife and I are going to Las Vegas. Thanks again for all your help people.

big3b Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 Well surfing for aboout two hours and the internet stoped responding a couple of times and then it just restarted all by itself. I went into the bios and the mobo temp: 37c, cpu:67c, cpu fan 2410 rpms, chassis fan 1654. All I was doing was surfing the net. I am guessing that the cpu temp is still alittle high?
