SYMPTOMS
========

When you are using a program that uses Windows Sockets over the IPX/SPX
protocol, you may receive either of the following error messages in Windows 95:

- A fatal exception 0E has occurred at <00xx:xxxxxxxx> in VxD WSIPX(01) +
  <xxxxxxxx>. The current application will be terminated.

- An exception 0E has occurred at <00xx:xxxxxxxx> in VxD WSIPX(01) +
  <xxxxxxxx>. This was called from <00xx:xxxxxxxx> in VxD NDIS(01)
  + <xxxxxxxx>. It may be possible to continue normally.

CAUSE
=====

These errors can occur if a buffer being used by a Windows Sockets program is
freed by Windows Network Sockets for IPX (WSIPX) inadvertently and the
IPX/SPX-compatible protocol (NWLINK) then tries to access the buffer.


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
