Hello. I recently upgraded to Windows Me and i keep getting on and off a blue screen with the following error message"An exception 06 has occured at 0028:000000B in VXD---. This was called from 0028:c002F0E9 in VXD ---. It may be possible to continue normally." After i hit enter, i get a black screen and i have to turn it off to reboot back up. HELP!!
I have some ideas, but would like additional input if possible.

I would boot into safe mode and do three things.

1. Remove what I have in my network stack and what nics I have in the device manager and reboot.

2. Change my video driver to a standard VGA.

3. Look at my HDs and CD-Rom and disable dmaon any of those.

Good luck to you

Exception 06 errors can also be caused by Norton and McAffee anti-virus products.

I would check the HCL for WindowsMe and make sure your hardware is listed...

Additionally, you need to make sure all the software you're running will work correctly under Me. Also watch for patterns like the error pops up when you print a document in a particular application, etc. Double check to make sure all your hardware drivers support Me as well.
