You might want to get a file called (ntoskrnl.exe) from the SP4 CD (just search for it, it's in there somewhere) and put the new one instead of the one that your system currently has. Note that it is a protected file so you may have to copy in DOS mode. (Copying in windows wouldn't have an effect)

I think that error can come from a big variety of stuff.
1. Bad drivers after windows installs its own.
2. Bad RAM cards (Switch them around)
3. Something in the BIOS like shadow memory (who needs it) or a bad cache.
4. I'd uninstall/unplug that CD
(Also some of those errors are like 'random') maybe it will only happen 6 out of 7 boots
I had problem's about 6 months ago with ntoskrnl. A local business wanted to have there own startup and windows OS messages, so I resource hacked it. Unsure what went wrong but I ended up needing to FDISK and use PM.

Cool...what kind of things did you change, I know the startup screens can be changed, other than that ??

May be they hash the resource size to double check if something is changed or the total hash of the file...

Sure the startup screen, the little loading slider graphic, and the shutdown screen (I think). You must stick with 16 colors out of 256 (I think) and there is another dll that has to be modded, to get windows not to refer back to your old ntoskrnl.exe.
The business wanted it to place security warnings for users etc.

I've got sometimes this problem because of a RAM chipset which doesn't fit perfectly the motherboard. Moving it and pushing it generally solves the problem.

Is there a Logitech mouse connected? If yes I had that error myself some time ago. Check this:

I've seen this before... about 10 out of the 350 machines we have at work did this. Of those 10 we were able to recover 7 of them by removing the USB devices connected to them ( most of these were ergonomic Logitech mice, the others were iPaq docking stations ). After switching back to a PS/2 mouse the machines never could use a USB mouse again, unless we upgraded to WinXP or did a complete reinstall and ran the SP4 from CD. Also... the three that didn't get recovered by removing usb devices had to be formatted and reinstalled.
My code isn't buggy. Those are all fleatures.

Thabks for the information Adam. This seems to be my fate as well as there are no USB devices plugged in and nothing is making it work.

I managed to find someone else with the same problem: see Google Groups link[^].
If the system is configured for it, Windows should be generating memory dumps when the problem occurs - typically in C:\WINNT\MiniDump. You could try using WinDbg (part of the Debugging Tools for Windows[^]) to read the dump file.
Start WinDbg, then go to File > Open Crash Dump. Wait for the symbols to download from Microsoft's debugging symbol server (broadband connection very handy!). Use the !analyze -v command. You should ideally do this on a system with the same version of OS and hotfixes that you're trying to read the dump for, or you can point the Image File Path to a location where the correct binaries are stored.
!analyze -v will give a whole bunch of information about the crash - with a bit of luck, it will indicate which driver caused the fault. Note that the address listed is not necessarily the executing line at the point of the fault - it's the address that caused the access violation (code 0xC0000005).

Uninstall the Logitech driver does NOT help.
You must rename/copy some dlls as shown in my previous link.

I was just wondering if anybody knows if there is a file (text file?) on a windows machine that contains the current process list and if so what is the file?

Yup. I know of that but I was just wondering if there is a file with a list. A friend wanted to get a list of the processes using Java and there is not way of doing it in Java (well... you could use JNI to do it but thats too much overhead) and he asked me if ther was a file on windows that had a list of currently running processes.

Does anyone know of what the admin password is for HP's XP home?
Why would anyone put a system together that requires you to enter the admin password to run the recovery but does not give you access to the admin account, Even when you set it up clean! 
Is this just HP's implementation? Did not have time to create a test machine on the side.

NO, but try this[^], I have used it successfully to reset the Administrator password on a Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Professional machine with no problems. Set the password to blank, don't try I change the password to another word using this utility as it doesn't seem to work.
You also might want to try this[^] great tool to write the inage to floppy disk.

It is stupid, I can't believe that they would lock out the owner of the machine.
Funniest thing is I am currently having to fix a client machine where I haven't been given the Administrator password, it is late and I have to get in. So I had to come back to my original post to you and follow the links I gave you.

XP Home just leaves the Admin password blank. This would seem just like an OEM to lock the users out of recovering their own systems. I suppose it makes a pretty good tech support revenue a couple years down the road.

Thanks,
It was not blank in this case but Michael's suggestion did clear that up.

Or make sure that I will not buy their product(s). Carly F. needs to do a little more on customer attention.

It has been stated as a fact from AMD, that chips with a speed greater than or equal to 300Mhz conflict with Win95 OSR2. Explicitly, the boot process yields the message,
"While Initializing Device IOS: Windows Protection Error. You Need to Restart Windows".
This is the message I recieved after a clean install of 95 with a K6-2 500Mhz processor. I did get 95 to boot by clocking the chip down to 166Mhz. I then tried to install the chip update from AMD's web but recieved a message about a Restriction error. The details of the error are as follows:
<unknown> caused an exception c0000006H in module <unknown> at 0000:bff832f3.
Registers:
EAX=20040000 CS=0137 EIP=bff832f3 EFLGS=00010206
EBX=01047000 SS=013f ESP=827e4c84 EBP=827e4cb4
ECX=81789200 DS=013f ESI=0000100d FS=0da7
EDX=c10d1700 ES=013f EDI=0100d000 GS=0000
Bytes at CS:EIP:

Stack dump:

The only conclusion this message gives me is that the K6 and K6-2 register and stack architecture don't coincide. How can I get the processor to run at 500Mhz?

Did you install the AMD patch for 95? What is happening is a timing error in 95 that supported the intel chips. I have run 95 on 300, 450, 550, and 800 AMD K6 and K6-2 chips fine.
