Fatal Exception, OE- 016F:BFF9DFFF

[phetjiu]

I keep randomly receiving this Fatal Exception and have to disconnect from the net and reboot my PC.
I must have gone through this process about a dozen times today. Besides being an annoyance which is driving me crazy, it is costing me money in net reconnections.
Has any of you guys had this problem and if so what causes it and most importantly ,how do I rectify it.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

do you have any portable phones connected to the same line

if so try disconnecting them

if that doesnt work try removing the modem in system properties and rebooting the computer to see if it finds the modem again and see if will reinstall the drivers

if it doesnt find it on boot try adding new hardware (in control panel)
to see if it finds it
