Win 98 Setup problem

Bill,
Whart I thing is the system is lock or either go to the suspend mode or
hibernation at some point so I assume is a power settings. I went to the Bios
Power section and by default the CPU speed is set to full. I changed it to
AUTO and not load windows when the system suspend. I go back to bios and
change the speed to 25% and it suspend even faster when the brand screens
opens. I put it back to full and it loads windows complete but in a coupla of
second the system suspend as usual. I'm not really an expert in this so I
can't see what is wrong ..the bios or the cpu or something else..... Thank
you for any help and and I'm about to give up on this. Paola

Thanks for the information and finally I reset the bios pwrd. I look at the bios setting
and I do not find anything regarding TV or anything like that. Bios seems to be on
the default settings. I reboot the pc after that and still doing the same. I will explain
everything again in case I miss telling something.. I partitioned and format drive C:
and set up the windows 98 everything was fine till the last settings before windows
finished to load everything. Since was the first time usually windows keep
loading and configurating new files or programs but soon as open a harware
wizard to install the drivers for the the pc just not really turn off but the system
stop responding and the monitor turn off. The keyboard not work and the
CTRL+ALT+DEL to rebbot not work. I hope you know something about this
behavior because I do not have a clue, BTW the pc its a Sony notebook
pentium II 366Mhz bios version R0206K0.
Thank you for all the help you are given me, sincerely Paola

Try this:
Go into the BIOS and temporarily disable Plug and Play. If it's
disabled enable it. Your BIOS may not be registered in the
Machine.inf file and this may help.

Start Setup again.
Setup may try to install into a Windows.000 or similar folder this
time, be sure to change it to C:\Windows.

Don't delete any temporary files until after Windows is running
successfully. Setup may need them.

Try Control Panel Power Management and adjust the settings. That
may help. I understand you can get into Safe Mode so try it there.
