There are at least a dozen reasons why you might receive a WIndows Protection error for Any Microsoft OS. Check out the following Microsoft Qbase Article:

(take out any spaces to join the address as one line).

If you are able to get this investigation done on your computer, that is great, but you may have to figure it out elsewhere if the Windows Protection error happens often or prevents you rom getting Internet research done. It has been said many times before, and I will say it as well....trace your past actions, the most obvious being hardware changes, or web sites you have visited recently.

Best of Luck!

During boot up go into BIOS and on initial display make sure that if you are using an AGP video card that AGP is selected and that if PCI that PCI has been selected. Save settings and exit.
