This article was previously published under Q162211
SYMPTOMS
On a computer equipped with advanced power management (APM), a "Fatal
Exception 0E" error may occur in VPOWERD if a critical suspend occurs
while the computer is already in the process of suspending normally.
CAUSE
The Windows 95 power-management driver does not properly handle a new
critical suspend request while it is processing a normal suspend request.
RESOLUTION
STATUS
This problem no longer occurs in Windows 98. To resolve this problem, install the current version of Windows. For information about the current version of Windows, visit
http://www.microsoft.com/windows.
MORE INFORMATION
This issue may occur if you manually suspend the computer when the
computer's battery is critically low. Under such conditions, the low-
battery condition could cause a critical suspend request to be issued by
the computer's BIOS. If a critical suspend request is issued while Windows
95 is already processing the normal suspend request, the problem can occur.
