SYMPTOMS

  A fatal exception occurred at 0028:C0037E2E in VXD VDD(01) + 00001D8A. The
  current application will be terminated.

This error occurs when you use the mouse to select and scroll text beyond the
right edge of the screen.

This error can occur if the MS-DOS command prompt window is maximized and you
are using Windows 3.1 Diamond Viper video drivers.
