    Check whether you have a static DNS entry configured using the network
    control panel. Then check whether it is valid. We have reproduced this
    problem only when you have a invalid static DNS entry. We are working on a
    fix for this.

    This is interesting since Its happening on three systems all running the
    same versions as you are. I just tried it again and the first two attempts
    at resolving www.socois.cool did not make the machine crash but on the third
    attempt I tried to have the system resolve www.pcorner.org and it crashed
    hard with a fatal exception 0E VXD error.
    
    I can reproduce this on three totally different systems all running win98
    4.10.1650 and IR 4.01 4.7.2106.8
