So, last night I finally finished building my pc. Boots up fine. Installed win98 with out a hitch. But, I keep getting this error when win 98 tries to load saying this a problem with a file "NDIS" and that my comp will need to restart. I can still get into Win in safe mode. Help me please !!

Did your network card install properly?

The only card I have installed so far is the graphics. No modem/sound/network or anything else is installed yet.

The full text reads:
While initializing device NDIS:
Windows protection error
You will need to restart your computer.

How fast is the CPU?

If it is faster than 2.2 GHz then read this...

Do you think it's safe/possible for me to install win XP upgrade?
