When working with my system running Windows 98, it always craches unexpectedly.
The system haltes and popes up a message as:

"A fatal exception 0E has occurred at 0028:C00 4EB15 in VXD VCACHE(01) +
00000315.
The current application will be terminated."

The message askes to press any key to continue or press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart the system. However, I have no choice and use to have push the power button to shut it down because it was freezed.

After the system restarts, it runs the Disk Doctor and shows the hard drive has lost cluster. The Disk Doctor fixes the problems. Afterwards, it will run the Microsoft Registery Checker and asks to restart the system again. The system axactly cannot restart, I have to shut it down again and wait for arround 20 minutes until I can reboot it.

It makes me frustrated and would like to ask someone advise what is happenning to my computer and how to fix it.

My system equiped with Pentium III, 733 Mhz. It was install with 256 MB RAM
and running Windows 98.

Your help would be appreciated.

Error Message When You Upgrade to Windows Me: Fatal Exception 0e 0028:c004df6c in Vxd Vcache

Q293299

Try removing the SIMMs one at a time and see if you still get the errors. If they disappear you then know if a chip is bad.
They need to be installed in whatever configuration the motherboard will accept, if you have a manual it will show there.

Here's a source for other error messages:

Take a look at Microsoft article Q150314 titled, "What Are Fatal Exception Errors".

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q150314

(REMOVE SPACES from the pasted URL.)

There are quite a few possibilityes, and this article either covers them all or has links to other Microsoft articles that will. Among the links within that article is one to "Windows 98 and Windows Me Error Message Resource Center".

Fatal Excceptions can be tricky to pin down, and you may have to tryseveral things before it's resolved.

Good luck,

I got the same error message and this is a result of bad memory. Check your memory modules. Try reseating the memory modules,If you're using one 256MB module. If you are using 2 128MB modules try using 1 module first then try the other to find which one is faulty.

Hope this helps.
