Angry Fire Problem Upgrading To WinXP

For some reason the first part of the setup goes fine but after the restart a notice comes up on a blue screen telling me that a problem was detected and that setup has been stopped to prevent dammage to my computer. This is real frutrating. I was looking forward to trying XP but I can't install it. HELP!!!

ok, xp probly has detected some hardware that it thinks may have a problem, I belive that there is a compatably software you can run to check it out, should be on the cd somewhere I think.

also a clean install is really the best way to go, installing on top of w98 usally creates some problems.
you should have that option in the install menu.
