I would like to know what is the meaning of "A Fatal exception 05 has occured at 0028: C2920074. The current application will be terminated."
I usually get this type of error most of the time. I am using Windows 98 second edition as my Operating system and I have tried formatting my Hard Drive, even after formatting the Hard Drive I am getting the same error.
Can anybody help me?

Thanks

yep, we need to know exactly how you get the error, ie, how to 'duplicate' the error, to help you with a fix. forgive me my standard litany: does it do it in safe mode? what shows up in close program when this happens. have you scanned all files with absolutely current virus definitions...write back with questions about troubleshooting this if you like. let us know all the things you've tried...

Although it would help to know exactly what you are doing at the time of the error. Here is a more specific link to for your problem. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;189655 Note if you have this kind of problem you will have to edit your registry. Be careful this can cause a whole lot more problem if your not familiar with using regedit.exe. Just make sure to back up first. The link tells how to do it. Sorry I couldn't help more. Good luck.

You say the you have formatted and reloaded the system and still get this error. If you can change out the memory of your system. If you don't have any other memory is it possible that you can remove some of the memory and try it then swap in the remove memory and try again. Another thing to try is bios cache settings write down the current bios cache settings then disable any cache settings that are currently enable and retry. Remember to follow proper static precautions before removing the memory and to unplug the system. I would suggest another HDD but since you are not seeing other fatal exceptions or disk problems I don't think the problem lies there.
