After having installed the latest MWave drivers (20D including patches) I
still experience Fatal Exception errors in Win98 when using DirectX (MPEG,
AVI, Games etc.). The problem seems to be IBM's 'VMWAUDIO.VXD' (that's where
the exception occurs). Has anyone got a clue / newer drivers? Beneath you'll
see microsoft's knowledge base article concerning this problem;

Thanks in advance, mike.breeuwer@usa.net
