Could it be that there's a "typo" in the question, and the error to which you're referring is "vnetsup error 6107"?

If it is, reference Microsoft article Q145836.

SYMPTOMS
You may receive either of the following error messages in Windows 95:

The following error occurred while loading the device driver Vnetsup. Error 6107: Could Not Setup Instance Data

or

A fatal exception 0E has occurred at 0028:xxxxxxxx in VxD VMM(06) + xxxxxxxx

While the exception number may vary, 0E is the most common.

CAUSE
This error message can occur when Windows 95 encounters a problem while processing the system registry. If this error message occurs, the registry may be damaged.

RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, restore your registry files from a backup. If you do not have a backup, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Q131431 How to Troubleshoot Registry Errors

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q131431

Personally I've found that when the registry is damaged, especially on a Windows 95 machine, it's best to just reload the operating system and applications and call it a day. I prefer to not be plagued with those nagging issues that will surely crop up from time to time. But who knows, the registry fix may work in this case.

Good luck,

Maxwell

The ESCD stands for Extended System Configuration Data and is an area in your CMOS where the BIOS can store informtion about the hardware in your computer. Windows can also access this info. If you see a problem with ESCD it is most likely caused by a bad expansion card or mobo. Start by removing cards from the computer (I'd pull the network card first) and trying to boot. Also try booting to safe mode and removing ALL network info (adaptors and protocols).
