Default installing 98se

Every time i try to install 98se a message appears telling
me that I don't have enough conventional memory, when I
check I have 15gigs of memory. Does anyone have an idea
why it's telling me this


cheers

Try a new boot disk that doesn't use as much conventional memory - get a
utility to create one at www.bootdisk.com. The amount of RAM you have is
not relevant to this problem.

Owen,

Install from Dos by booting with a Win98 Startup Diskette with CDrom
support, that should give you enough Conventional memory. To create
the diskette get one from www.bootdisk.com as Jeff suggested. Double
click the download. Or do this:
Run the Fat32ebd.exe file located on the Win98 CD in the
Tools/Mtsutil/Fat32ebd directory. Do this from any Windows machine.

Boot with the diskette, change to your CDrom drive letter and enter
Setup. If Setup tries to install into a Windows.000 folder or
something similar put your cursor in the little block and change it
to C:\windows.

The diskette from www.bootdisk.com may create a Ram Drive so your
CDrom drive letter will be one letter higher than normal. e.g. D: to
E:

Regards,

Bill Watt
