It may help just changing the memory because this can be one of the main causes of this problem. Or the installion CD you are using isn't being read correctly by the CD-ROM drive. If it is possible try installation with a different copy of Win98 if you have one at hand.

Shane - there's a patch for that error over at the Microsoft site. It seems to be a timing issue with processors greater than 2ghz on some motherboards.
http://support.microsoft.com/default...08&Product=w98 After you install the patch, you should be OK. [I finally bookmarked the link to that patch: I can never seem to find it when I need it!] . . . Gary |
