Windows ME refuse to startup on a friend's system. It sticks with this error message:
An exception 0E has occurred at 0028:C004C715 in VXD VFAT (01)*000025. This was called from 0028:C182A5C0 in VXD voltrack (04)*00000430 It may be possible to continue normally.
Well it doesn't continue normally -- the screen freezes.
I reinstalled Me for him and all went well up to the last 12 minutes when ME was setting up Hardware and Plug and Play when the same error come back.
I have searched using GOOGLE and found a number of downloadable diagnostic tools, all offer to sell an unlock key to access the fix.
None of this is any good to me. The fault is on a system that refuses to load Windows far less access the Internet to get a fix.
PLEASE suggest a way out of this problem.
