Windows Forum / Windows 98 / General Topics / April 2007HELP!!!!
Hi, I have win 98 and get this when I try to start up: Invalid V x D dynamic link call from VWIN32 (01) + 00000714 to device "0009", service 1 I also get another one that is almost the same except after the + is 00000782 to device "0009", service 2 it will only let me start in prompt mode any clue how to fix this. I can't afford to get a new system or to pay someone to fix it. Thanks in advance, Amy > I have win 98 and get this when I try to start up: > Invalid V x D dynamic link call from VWIN32 (01) + 00000714 to device [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > it will only let me start in prompt mode any clue how to fix this.

Can you reload an old Registry known functional before the date when you changed whatever caused this malfunction? This is done by: -- DOS boot -- CD \Windows\Command -- SCANREG /RESTORE and choose a date. 3. What did you change (that caused this)? Can you change it back?  SignatureDon Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) I czn't start in safe mode Nothing comes up. I have tried the scanreg and it says it's a invalid command or file. I don't think I did anything to cause it. We only use it for internet and playing a few games. > > I have win 98 and get this when I try to start up: > > Invalid V x D dynamic link call from VWIN32 (01) + 00000714 to device [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > 3.

Can > you change it back? i have read all the replies you got via what this server gives,,,, and the one thing i noticed was you saying that 'scanreg /restore' gave an 'invalid command' reply. the other thing i noted, was that no-one here asked if you typed 'scanreg /restore' correctly, .... there is a space between the 'g' and the 'forwardslash'. (it makes all the difference) i could be wrong, but try it anyway. > I czn't start in safe mode Nothing comes up. I have tried the scanreg and it > says it's a invalid command or file.

I tried all of these and only get bad command or file name. I tried the links also. I can only start in command prompt and almost all the command's say bad command or file name or they try to start windows and I get the error's. One time I did get that it couldn't be done in DOS mode. Scanreg doesn't do anything either. Just says the command file name thing. Sorry I am not very computer literate. Any other suggestions? > On Sat, 21 Apr 2007 12:26:02 -0700, aimchele > <aimchele@discussions.microsoft.com> put finger to keyboard and [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > > - Franc Zabkar > I tried all of these and only get bad command or file name.

Your fastest route back to Internet and email is probably to reinstal the operating system. This requires both a CD and a boot floppy which we assume you possess, and you can read how to reinstal at http://home.satx.rr.com/badour/html/w98_restore.html If you are unready to do this, ask any librarian or school teacher you may know to recommend a well-disposed teenager who can do it for you. One fast food meal and one DVD of choice would be a fair payment. Installation takes about 45 min. i.e. much time is spent waiting -- and your teenager can profitably use this time coaching you in good PC housekeeping methods.

There is a copy on your booting floppy so you can always A>COPY A:HIMEM.SYS C:\WINDOWS and reboot. I used to need to do this every few months but not since I rebuilt the Win98 system. SignatureDon Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) Start the computer in DOS, type the following command line and restore a previous registry. c:\windows\command\scanreg /restore Ben > Hi, > I have win 98 and get this when I try to start up: [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Thanks in advance, > Amy > Start the computer in DOS, type the following command line and restore > a previous registry. > > c:\windows\command\scanreg /restore > > Ben I've had to go this route a couple of times.I did it this way. Reboot and tap F8 key a few times and then hold 'steady,and with much groaning and pinging it comes back in a safe mode screen. Chose 'Prompt in Safe Mode Only' and entered. At prompt> cd\windows\command <enter> Type at prompt> scanreg/restore Then choose date and enter. Works on my machine. The only way it works for me is in Prompt In Safe Mode Only. OP said he couldn't get into safe mode but could get to prompt,maybe he was at the dos prompt in windows and not true dos. If I'm off on this let me know.

If you are comfortable with going inside the computer case, turn its power off and and disconnect the cord from the wall outlet. Ground yourself to the computer case and then remove and then reseat the memory sticks. Put the cover back on and restore power, See if it helps. Have you tried tapping the ctrl or F8 key to get to the boot menu? Also check http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000425.htm or use Google. > Hi, > I have win 98 and get this when I try to start up: [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Thanks in advance, > Amy |
