Fatal exception error in win 95

With Packard-Bell products, it's always hard to know for sure, but the error message you report could result from a corrupted/incorrect video card driver.

If you can boot into Safe Mode, I would try installing an updated video driver and see if that helps any.

Otherwise, you'll need to figure out what application installs the vcache vxd and re-install it. A vxd is a virtual device driver so it is also possible that the hardware it talks to is starting to poop out but more than likely it's just a corrupted file.

This is more than like the video card driver that is corrupt,Boot into safe mode and then open the Control panel,double click on the System Icon,click the device manager tab,locate the graphics card from list,click on Plus,then select the video cardfrom list,right click and choose properties when the pane opens click to update driver.use the old driver from disk until you can get an update from the web.

Remove the VGA card in safe mode. reinstall the driver after restarting. If this is not working try disabling the system BIOS video cash. Also it may be due to overheating the card.

did you install anything new recently (hard/software)?
It seems to be memory related. Did you add memory to it, perhaps?
If that is the case, take out the new memory card, put back the old one, and see if the problem persists...

good luck!

That "sb" in your error message may relate to your sound card. Check your drivers.

If you get this message right after you start windows environment, when the
window-start sound scheme is about to start, the sound driver may be causing the problem. download the latest driver of your sound card.

If you are not in a LAN or WAN,try to remove network components like NIC or services in your network properties. This ma eliminate unnecessarry vxd drivers.

Try this method:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD"

To correct StaticVxD values in the registry

Make a backup copy of the registry files.
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type scanregw, and then click OK.
When you are prompted to back up the system registry, click Yes, and then click OK.
Use Registry Editor tolocate and delete any StaticVxD value in the registry that contains invalid data, is blank, or contains only spaces.
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
In the registry editor, expand to the key listed above.

If reinstalling drivers does not solve the problem you may have to try reloading Windows. Your Packard Bell may come with a recovery CD, or hopefully your system came with an OEM copy that does not load a bunch of junk along with the O/S. If you did get an OEM CD, it is helful to boot off the floppy or CD, switch to the C drive in DOS, and run deltree to delete all of Windows. BEWARE!! If you reinstall this way, you will need to reload all drivers and applications. Also, make sure you have backed up all data, because some programs
(email, etc, keep their data in the Windows directory) Deltree is located in C:\windows\command, so copy it out to the root c: directory prior to using to delete Windows. Removing Windows and putting on afresh copy does get rid of all corrupted VXD's but you want to make sure anything important is backed up.
Good luck,

First of all:
Which OS
Any recent changes to your system (hardware, software)?
Reboot into safemode,remove all temp files, Scandisc, Defrag, Reboot.
Still have the problem? Goto soundcard manufacturers web site look for updated driver.
Still not fixed? Look in your device manager for conflicts and resolve.
Still got the problem? CTRL+ALT+DEL remove one item at a time and try again.
Resolved? Which software are you using in conjunction with the sound card? remove any conflicting software.
Failing this check bios settings as per manufacturers instructions.
