startup problem in window 98 ..please help ??

bindudhindsa · 04-29-2007, 09:29 AM

Hello I have window 98 in my computer …so when it starts it shows an error as following
“Invalid VxD dynamic call from VWIN32(01) + 00000714 to device “0009”, service 1
Your window configuration is invalid. Run the window setup program again to correct the problem.

To continue running windows press Y or enter . To quit the current program press N. if you continue running windows, your system may become unstable , do you want to continue?
Press Y for yes and press N for no

Could anybody please explain me what exactly the problem is …..i don’t have 98 setup CD. So please tell me how can I correct this error. Just want to mention here that no program is running in the background. I have already ran Norton antivirus and there is no virus in it right now. Please help
Thanks in advance
Sid

Hi Sid

Did you have a chance yet to make your way through the diagnostics and Microsoft troubleshooter recommended a few weeks ago? http://www.techsupportforum.com/micr...ed-things.html

If not, give them a go.

If the hardware passes the diagnostics, boot from a bootable floppy diskette or a bootable CD, and see if the Windows installation files are on the hard drive. If so, you may be able to run an "over-the-top" or "in-place" reinstallation of Windows using those --- http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?t=70846

Or, if the PC was running somewhat acceptably not so long ago, you can try restoring an older saved copy of the Registry. Boot the computer with a bootable floppy (you can find one at bootdisk.com) and from the DOS command prompt, type scanreg /restore and choose a date from before your current trouble. For more details, see Microsoft's article --- http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q221512/

Best of luck
