SUWIN caused a General Protection Fault in module VERX.DLL
@ 0002:24AE

I am getting this error after the ME setup is about 30%
into the reinstall.
I am reinstalling ME because it is not booting all the way
into windows. it stops and starts a scandisk which never
finishes. I have manually ran scandisk after booting with
the startup disk and the scan found nothing wrong, but it
still doesn't complete the bootup after I cancel the scan.
When I examined Task Manager, it says "windows explorer
not responding" so I figured to fix the problem by running
setup again using the bootdisk, but it doesn't complete
the install.....HELP
