Exclamation New PC just built Win98 installed but does not start it

Ok my friends comp is just finished and we just installed Win98, boot up the comp but only the grey backround of windows and the curson in the middle appears, and displays;

"SuReg Create Key Failed"

What does this mean?

Thanks.

I think andyms18a is right or clean your CD with alcohol & try to reinstal. I had this same thing with dirty fingerprints on the CD. Make sure you get the edges good & clean
