The trouble in your equation comes from the fact that your boundary 
conditions for x=1 conflict with the series developpment in x=0. You
then  have to use Normal in order to replace your series by a
polynomial:

\!\(w[x_] = Sum[a[i] x\^i, {i, 0, 6}] + O[x]\^7\)

\!\(eq = \(b\^2\) D[w[x], {x, 2}] - \((x\^2/4 + b/2 + a)\) w[x] == 0 &&
      w[0] == 1\)

le1=LogicalExpand[eq]

sle1=Solve[le1,Table[a[i],{i,0,6}]]
(*this will give only partial solutions*)

wn[x_]=Normal at First[w[x]/.sle1]

eq2=wn'[1]+wn[1] d (1/2+b/2)==0

sle2=Solve[eq2,a[3]]

wnn[x_]=wn[x]/.First at First@sle2

Plot[Evaluate[wnn[x]/.{a->Random[],b->Random[],c->Random[],d->Random[]}]
,{x,0,
    2}]

I don't believe the choice of the order for this series is judicious,
let's  pretend it's a start for more precise investigations.

Hope this helps,

Objet:	[mg9701] Q: Weber equation

Hi,

	I have a problem with a Weber equation and boundary conditions: b^2
w''[x] - (x^2/4 + b/2+ a) w[x]==0		Weber equation (b,a -constans)
w[x=0]==1
w'[x=1]+ w[x=1] d (1/2+b/2) == 0

I want to solve this problem in Mathematica3,0 under Windows 95 . I have
solved this but in form very complcated series. Maybe is somebody who
know how solve this in simply form?
THANKS,
		Boguslaw Ptaszynski
