0 Lectos Posted September 10, 2001 Share Posted September 10, 2001 Since safe mode works fine, it sounds like either a bad or corrupted driver or a program that starts on startup. I would try disabling things like Virus scanners and such one at a time to see which thing is doing it. Then start taking out device drivers one by one if that doesn't work. If it's none of those it could be a corrupted registry key somewhere. If all that fails, reformat is your only option. Here's a MSKB article that says about the same thing: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/ar..._SRCH&SPR=W98SE This will help troubleshoot the problem somewhat: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/ar...s/Q188/8/67.ASP Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1462-windows-protection-error/#findComment-6968 Share on other sites More sharing options...
