The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Windows98: While initializing device NDIS, windows protection error

Asked by Laurie95 in Windows 98 Operating System

Tags: ndis, device, initializing, error, windows

I've just changed motherboard, processor, and SCSI card.  On boot up to windows (Windows 98, original
version), I get a windows protection error, which windows reports resulted from windows attempt to initialize
"device NDIS".  Using MSconfig, and choosing not to load NDIS.vxd, the system boots up.  However, that
results in no dial-up networking and no ability to connect with the internet through my modem. I even
formatted an extra hard drive that I had and did a clean install of Windows 98, and I got the same error
message.  My config. and the parts that were replaced are as follows:

P4 2.2 ghz Northwood processor (replaced a P3 800MHZ)
Abit TH7 II  Intel 850  motherboard (replaced Abit BE6 II)
512 MB Rambus RDRAM (replaced 256k SDRAM)
Adaptec 29160N SCSI Adapter (replaced a 2940UW)
Seagate Cheetah 9.1 GB hard drive
Quantum Atlus 10K II 36 GB hard drive
GeForce 3 video adapter
2 Plextor SCSI CDROM drives
SCSI internal zip drive
3Com 56k external modem

There is no sound card installed yet.

Any help would be appreciated.
