I’ll then explain the solution to one of the most common types of Windows protection errors, the protection error that results when some types of Zip drives are used with certain types of printers.The reasons for Windows protection errorsWindows protection errors typically manifest themselves during startup with a message saying, “While Initializing device_name a Windows protection error occurred,” or you may simply see a generic message saying "Windows protection error." The generic Windows protection error message can occur during system startup or shutdown. So what causes these mysterious error messages?There are actually quite a few different things that can cause Windows protection errors. According to Microsoft Knowledge Base article number 149962, Windows protection errors can be caused by any of the following conditions:If a real-mode driver and a protected-mode driver are in conflict.If the registry is damaged.If either the Win.com file or the Command.com file are infected with a virus, or if either of the files are damaged.If a protected-mode driver is loaded from the System.ini file and the driver is already initialized.If there is a physical input/output (I/O) address conflict or
General Protection Error? When there's a problem, the Windows Protection Error message is most often seen when you start or shut down Windows. "While initializing device _Some-device-name _ Windows Protection Error". These errors can occur when Windows loads or unloads a virtual device driver, also known https://www.easydesksoftware.com/news/news19.htm as a VXD. Did you already know this, do you know how to fix one? http://www.pcguide.com/vb/showthread.php?41340-Windows-Protection-Error-system-Halted I do not want to mislead you and tell you exactly how to fix one. I am going to tell you what I have gone through fixing one recently, in the hopes it will help you the next time you need to track one down. From the Microsoft site: Windows Protection error messages can occur under any of the following conditions: If protection error a real-mode driver and a protected-mode driver are in conflict. If the registry is damaged. If either the Win.com file or the Command.com file are infected with a virus, or if either of the files are damaged. If a protected-mode driver is loaded from the System.ini file and the driver is already initialized. If there is a physical input/output (I/O) address conflict or a random access memory (RAM) address conflict. If there are incorrect complementary metal oxide semiconductor windows protection error (CMOS) settings for a built-in peripheral device (such as cache settings, CPU timing, hard disks, and so on). If the Plug and Play feature of the computer's basic input/output system (BIOS) is not working correctly. If the computer contains a malfunctioning cache or malfunctioning memory. If the computer's motherboard is not working properly End of Microsoft. Now for the English translation: Real mode is 16 bit, or when operating in DOS, Protected mode is 32 bit as in Windows. So when you boot your computer, the BIOS (the operating system for the computer motherboard) loads your hard drive, it is using a real mode driver, slow motion driver. I/O address is the memory address a device on the motherboard was assigned. These can be assigned by the BIOS or by Windows. you are always better off if you let Windows assign the I/O To add to the I/O conflict, it can also be an IRQ, See our glossary for IRQ Microsoft left out a few items, like defective RAM, CPU, Motherboard, or corrupt BIOS. A Windows Protection Error can be very difficult to diagnose. The cause of the error may not be apparent even though you may see the VXD name in the error message, thereby believing it is the causative factor of the error. The VXD name however, is only the result of the error. Let me try to explain; en
