There are many reasons to causing the system booting-up with un-
appropriated steps. Base on Microsoft support wizard on their
WEBsite, there are many technical articles to help users with this
subject, such as troubleshooting with VXD errors, virus, Fatal
exceptions, etc., more details cover on each issue are descriptive
and familiar with, and exclusively further to our support.

Q:  

System hangs-up after installing video driver.

Explain and Suggestion:

Today, most video drivers are developed for 32-bit processing and
may require a channel to Code/Decode.  Conflict between device

most

 

effective way to check for conflicts is to replace with the

original video driver, or delete and re-install the current video driver to
the system.

Accomplishing IRQs (Interrupt Request Query) settings or
troubleshooting the conflicts on hardware source may necessary.
Most AGP video cards designed for Plug-n-Play, that means video
card IRQ's setup which controls by main board’s (motherboard)
circuitry and BIOS.  Physically pulling out other devices from system,
and re-starts the computer. Confirm and modify your IRQ addresses
with qualified computer technician.

Q:

One common reason is a monitor mis-match. Some older multi-
frequency monitors are unable to switch video modes without being
turned off, then turned on again.

If the problem occurring in windows, make sure that you have loaded
that proper video driver, and that the driver is compatible with the
monitor being used. Try re-configuring your application software to
use a compatible video mode. If problem persist in windows, load the
standard generic VGA driver. The generic VGA driver should
