Gee just trying to debug the same error. Are you getting a full Vxd error with a program name after it or just a VxD --- error?
See AAAARRRRRGH below. Not to dump on you specifically but a question ilke this demands a good point value, you will get 1000 for closing the question and awarding points so offering 1000 for the question is only fair. Again , not just your post, I've noticed this, I've seen guys offer 50 points for a daunting Network Admin problem.

POst back with the complete error, WIndows knowldgebase also has ALL of the IPF errors outlined but you will need the full error.
Most common errors can be found with a simple search in the Google newsgroups at http://www.deja.com

ALan, I'm seeing a similar problem, but there are many fatals that seem to be easily resolved if the full message is debugged in the MSKB.
I've had a few re-forms too but a few were fixed quite easily. There's always hope, isn't there?
Please tell me there's hope?!?!? Hello? please?

I hate to say it but according to the books I read when learning Win98, a VXD error on boot up was a re-install situation.
Hope I am wrong!! I guess I won't get the points for being a prophet of doom.

There's always hope, Oz, but I usually find that unless the user has a great amount of irreplaceable software - downloads from the Internet for which they don't have the install executables, & things like that - it is often easier and more productive to spend a couple of hours ripping their data, mail messages and the like to a new hard disk, then re-installing.
Windows 98 always runs better after a clean install. But there is always hope. I mean, someone has even produced a T-shirt of the BSOD.

a VXD file refers to Virtual Device Driver, it mostly related with the hardware you installed. The Vxd is loaded each time Windows start, a failure in vxd means you will need to reinstall a specific driver or remove it from your Windows.
Just find the exact name of the vxd error, and restart in Safe mode, perform uninstall of the driver or software related to it. You can try reinstall it again if the problem gone. You can also manually bypass it from loading by editing Win.ini, system.ini and remove the problem vxd. Some vxd are stored in registry, be careful when you manually remove from registry. Perform with caution.
