Blue screen when shutting down Windows 98 se 1

[rfarrant]

I know that Windows 98 se has a shutdown problem, especially with mapped network drives...

When I shut down, I've noticed that I get a blue screen with the following error

"A fatal exception 0E haas occured at 0028:C000BDID in VxD VMM(01) +0000ADID"

Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be - alternatively somewhere I could submit this error to get some answers.

Many thanks

If you're using Win98 Second edition (4.10.2222A), here's a link to the Shutdown Supplement:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/downloads/contents/WURecommended/S_WUFeatured/Win98SE/Default.asp

If its installed and not working correctly,

The Fast Shutdown registry key may be enabled.

The Microsoft System Configuration utility includes an option to disable Fast Shutdown. If this option is unchecked in Windows 98 Second Edition, your system may reboot instead of shutting down.

To resolve this issue, backup the registry and/or export the following keys:
go to Start>Run, type regedit. Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Shutdown

Right-click on the FastReboot entry, choose modify and type in the number 0.

NOTE: When you apply the Windows 98 Second Edition Shutdown Supplement, which addresses shutdown issues, the Disable Fast Shutdown option is no longer listed on the Advanced tab in Msconfig.

Thanks, the shutdown supplement appeared to work.
