Computer Help - Windows Protection Error

Post by sparky »

Hello,

Can anyone shed some light on this problem.

My PC is a Pentium 4 running Windows 98SE.
The graphics card is a GForce / nVidia
(Good reasons why not updated to XP).

A couple of months ago I reloaded from scratch after hassles.
All well for a few weeks except sometimes freezing when left so screen turned into power saving mode.

Now perhaps one time in three on booting it comes up
Windows Protection Error.
Hence I have to reboot into safe mode, remove display driver from devices and reboot.

The driver is fairly recent download and version I had used for the last few months with no problems.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks.

Jacques

Thanks.

It has been been OK last couple of days, but I have not been using video / DVD programs so maybe one of them is the culprit - time will tell.

Also I have reload Shutdown Delay update that allows 2 sec delay for drives to write contents of cache to the drive in case that was the problem.
