I recently installed win98 in a new PC. I ran into problems installing win98 but finally got it going. My problem now is that when i try to install any program, that blue error screen comes on and I need to reboot. I have tried to install different programs and its always the same. The problem that I had when installing win98 was a SUWIN problem with setupdx something. I had to disable shadowing on BIOS in order to get win98 installed. So can you please advise me on where to start so that I can install anything on my system. thanks

That BSOD can be a toughie to troubleshoot. I would recommend starting over fresh, and getting a clean Windows install before trying to install any more software, which only adds more problems, making it that much more difficult to troubleshoot.

Windows 98 Fresh Start (http://www.hardwarehell.com/fdisk.htm) might have some useful info.

You can also Search (http://search.microsoft.com/us/SearchMS25.asp) the Micro$oft Knowledge Database for more info.

Check through the PC Guide, and the link posted below as well, you'll find more info than you can read in the next week...
