I have downloaded Steel Panthers World at War 7.1 and it's a marvellous game and historical simulation,I like it very much but often after the introduction or after few seconds in the game my computer stops;it's all frozen.Sometimes this message appears on the screen:''Windows:irreversible error OE in 0028:C00140DB of VXD VMM(01)+000130DB. This occurs only with Steel Panthers World at War.What is it means? Can someone helps me please?Thank you very much. My computer is a notebook Compaq Armada E 500 with Pentium 3 900 Mhz,128 Mb Ram, video card ATI Rage Mobility 8 Mb,Windows second edition,DirectX 7.0

Hello

I think directX 8 is required for SPWaW. Also, try running the game directly from mech.exe, it often helps.

The error message didn't tell me anything, those things are usually very, very obscure.

This page http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;w98errmsg is always my first stop for figuring out Win 98SE error messages.

What version of Window's are you running? vxd errors normally point to a video problem. I would check for updates for your operating system from [url]www.microsoft.com[/url], and install all critical updates and driver updates. Also you may want to get the latest and greatest video driver for you video card, which can be found at the website of the manufacturer. And the suggestion of the latest and greatest Direct X isn't a bad idea either. Good luck!
