Shakey start-ups?

[trybry]

Hi,

I am getting Fatal Exception and Protection Faults, whenever I start or restart Windows.

How can I find a site or get a list of what the numbers mean (example- 015F:BFF9DBA7)? Also one that can tell me how to fix the problem.

With the General Protection faults, how do I find the replacement or repair programs? Some of them are the, User.exe, kernel and Explorer.

I'm no expert, but either step by step or a site with step by steps instructions are welcome.

thanks

If this is a new machine then I would be looking at the memory as a starting point.
Idealy replace with some you know is good.

Replying helps further our knowledge, without comment leaves us wondering.

Thanks,

Any way to test the memory? I don't have any extra's and it's not a new machine. I have a laptop running Win98 1st Ed.

Is there also a site where I can get an interpetation of the GP (gerneral protection) and FE (fatal errors) message codes?

Can I try to replace the programs that tend to fail most often? They are User.exe, Explorer.exe and Kernel32.

Thanks for your time

Thanks Folks,

I stubbled upon Windows online help library. There I found a way of diagnosing the shakey system problem.

I started with the Msconfig and used the cold boot method and that reduced the number of OE errors.

I kinda of learned through reading that this faults can occur because of various programs causing page faults. Re-instaling the offending programs seemed to solve the problem.

Thanks to all who comtributed help to my call for help.
