Help me with this ntkern.VXD trout

[Mikztsu]

My scanner used to work few months ago. Then I uninstalled the driver for some reason, and tried to re-install it recently. While installing the driver, the screen turns blue and says something about ntkern.vxd. Same with my recently bought digital camera.

I wonder if there's a way to solve this without formatting my C: drive or something. My computer is troute anyway, and for some reason I have to use Win98 because Win2000 won't finish installation for some reason, and I couldn't get my Internet work with XPpro. I should upgrade almost everything in my computer soon.

Anyway, help? I'd love to use my scanner and digi cam.=o

I wasn't aware Win98 had an NT kernel Perhaps the drivers for scanner are really meant to be for NT/2000/XP systems? Or more likely the incomplete Windows 2000 that's ruining things severly. My Win98 boots with an NTLDR since I started installing WinXP on it before changing my mind.

In any case, since it's Win98 that's goofing up, I'd be very tempted to reinstall it to clean it up Do note that reinstall is not the same as format *not very helpful*

[Mikztsu]

Yeah, but the scanner worked before.=] I'll try the reinstalling without formatting anything anyway; it can't hurt. After I'm back from my drunk-crusade.

I'd give XP Pro another go, and tell me what exactly the symptoms of your problem are. XP Pro is Windows 2000 Professional with a hat, and I'm certified on 2k Pro. I'm sure we can get it working.

I just tried the re-install, it didn't work.=\ I need to get a new motherboard and stuff for my computer. Meanwhile, I guess I use my roommates computer for getting the pictures from digi cam.

Double-post:

Problem solved. I HAD the first edition of Win98. Now I borrowed a second edition of Win98 from my roommate, gave it a clean install and everything's fine - camera program works and scanner works again. Also some freezing problems seems to be solved as well.

Thanks for the effort anyway, guys.

*brain explodes*

How can you live with Win98? XPee Pro > 9x, ME, and NT.

[Mikztsu]

I can't, that's the problem!:P This thing is killing me. Killing me slowly. And I'd LOVE to install Win2000, but in the end of Win 2k's installation the screen turns green.:\

Anyway, I'll give XPpro another go, once I get the CD from my classmate on monday.

Green? That's a new error to me I've only seen green screens when you try to play some videos with weird/bad codecs installed
