Help me if you can, Please and Thank you. I am running a windows 98se clean install system. All current updates. AMD Athlon XP 1700 248MB of ram Symantec Norton Systemworks. This machine does little except run BOINC. It has been stable for a windows platform and I really don't do any other processing on it. I hangs up when I'm running Einstein at home on it regularly. I get the annoyingly vauge message,
This program has performed an illegal instruction and will be shut down. There it sits. I am running BOINC on severaL other machines including a Mac. I have had no trouble with any of the others. I'm a little mystified at where I might begin to sort this out and I would appreciate any suggestions anyone may have that would get me out of this dead end!

Your are getting an exit code 22 which means A device is disabled.

To resolve this error code, enable the device. To do so, follow these steps:
1.Select Start> Setting > Control Panel, then double-click System
2.Select the Device Manager tab
3.Double-click the category for the device you want to enable, and then double-click the device
4.In the Device Usage box, select the check box for the configuration in which you want to enable the device
5.Click OK, and then click Close
6.Shut down Windows, and restart your computer

If this doesn’t work, try removing the device in Device Manager, then re-detecting it using the Add New Hardware wizard.

Hope this helps.
