Windows 98 install problems
hi. i am having some serious problems reinstalling windows 98. at first it
was the hard drive(it failed) but i got a new one and i still can't install windows without receiving all kinds of error messages. for example, when i get to the part where i enter my key, an error message pops up msgsrv32.exe has caused an error and will be shut down. also, after formatting my hard drive using maxtor's maxblast plus, i boot up from the cdrom and as it begins to install windows, for some reason it stops dead and i have to reboot and start all over again. thanks in advance for all the help. john |

Try removing unnecessary peripherals, such as modems or sound cards,
then remove and reseat the memory modules. If that doesn't help, go to=20 http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm and create a Windows 98 boot=20 floppy. Use it to start the computer, insert your Windows 98 CD, type=20 "setup /c" and press "Enter".
