fatal exception error in Windows 98 SE

[ilanska]

when shutting down computer I get a blue screen with "fatal exception OD has occured at 0327:00000808" From that point on the machine freezes up and I need to reboot? Any suggestions for a fix would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

If Win98 SE Shutdown supplament is 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.
