Well, I just had a ton of fun after I attempted to install the Dx9c runtime on my comp. After I rebooted it kept giving me the good ole' KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED error. Fun huh? And on top of that, attempting to boot into anything other than safe mode with command prompt generated the same error, so I couldnt get networking to xfer my files to another computer in case I needed to nuke it.
however, thankfully, after a few hours of futilly wrestling with thw safe mode schtik, I gave in, popped my CD in the drive, booted to setup, and did a repair install to C:\WINNT.
Everything works fine now. DX9c even installed perfectly this time. The Repair Install even found some of my files on drive K that I had been missing. Specifically the entire first season of Enterprise.
Anyway, that concludes my rant, and here is my one question: What the heck does KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED mean in detail, and why the hell did installing dx9c trigger it perpetually?
