The caps lock key is on the left, just above [Shift] THAT'LL CURE THAT ALL CAPS STUFF WHICH IS MORE DIFFICULT TO READ...and usually considered yelling...

OK, now that I got that out of my system...this might help:

What are Windows 95/98 Fatal Exception Errors (http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q150/3/14.asp?LN=EN-US&SD=gn&FR=0)

From the Micro$oft Knowledge Database. I didn't find much else when I searched, but didn't have a lot of time either. You can search the database

Here (http://search.microsoft.com/us/SearchMS25.asp)

and type in the error message, might come up with more info. Some of the sites linked at my info site below might have some tips too.

Fatal exception errors are difficult to troubleshoot, so get ready for some digging...

If you had everything...Where would you put it?

Is it Win98 first or second edition? And is it a fresh install from scratch, a freshly reformatted hard drive? And yes it is ok to use the same disk on different computers, just not totally legal.
