Which VXD file(s) is it? VXD issues are usually handled by either manually extracting the appropriate files off the OS CD or completely reinstalling your communications stack.

Do you have McAfee anti-virus installed, also, by chance?

Ok, I'm getting a constant BSoD with VXD talking about PPPMAC[04] and NDIS[04]. Can someone give me any info on what to do.
Suture, you mentioned getting the vxd from the CD or reinstalling my communications stack. How?

I really need some help. I'm totally locked out of my internet connection because of these BSoD's. thanks

When do they occur?

What are the numbers related to the BSOD..

you wrote it gets it with NDIS this is one related fix http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q243/1/99.ASP
This is another related to BSOD that fix's a Socks error that causes a BSOD in win98 and win98SE http://humlog.homestead.com/nicksconsulting/files/10055NoBufferWin98.zip
heres a fix that deals with freeze ups http://www.dslreports.com/faq/faq#156
I suggest doing all of them..

unfortunately I don't have access to the computer at the moment (if I did, I wouldn't have access to the internet, had to take my pick). The BSoD happens when I use any program that uses internet access (including all dos commands)

dannjr, thanks for the links, I'll try them when I get home. What does the second one do? I looked at it and all it does is change max number of connections. I can't even get 1.

Burns, try reinstalling your NIC. Maybe even move it to a different PCI slot.

Ok, here's an update for y'all and some info incase anyone else ever experiences this.

My problem was not the tweaks. My problem was that ZoneAlarm Pro did not like the changes for some reason. Version 2.1 (the latest one I believe) is the culprit. I uninstalled ZAP and everything worked great. So, I reinstalled it to see if that would help matters. Nope! So off it came. I reverted back to version 1.0.64 and now everything is great! Lesson learned? Don't always think it's the tweakers fault

What OS?
What is the last thing (software or hardware) that you installed before getting BSODs?

Ok sorry, stupid me. I tried using the Cablenut tweak. When I encountered the problem, I uninstalled. Still got BSoD. I'm running 98se with a 3com cable modem. Unfortunately I didn't back up the registry. Also tried using speedguides return to default inf file. still same problem.

I used to get the same bs o' death.Could never figure out why I would.Last week I ugraded to a new harddrive(reformatted,reinstalled WinSE),updated my flash bios,and put in a brand new power supply.It hasn't happened since.
Not sure if that cured the problem,or if it sneaked off all on it's own,lol.

When you uninstall Cablenuts patch it takes you back to default

I remember there was a Nuke program that could crash a Windows 95 computer that was connected to the internet. All you needed to know was their IP. Microsoft posted a fix for it.

Otherwise, I would just wipe my drive and reinstall everything.

I already uninstalled Cablenut. I realize it takes me back to default. That's why I already uninstalled it. I'm still getting BSod though.
