Windows Protection Error
I am having a problem with a system that i have installed Windows 98 SE on.
Every other time it boots it gives the message "Windows Protection Error. You need to restart your computer" on a solid black screen with no other messages. The other times it boots into the desktop just fine. Going into "msconfig" and enabling the startup menu is the only way I have been able to get the system to boot to the desktop everytime. This method will not be a workable solution in the long term because I need it to be able to boot unattended. During one of the times when I knew it would give me the error on booting, I held down the "ctrl" key to bring up the boot menu but the system errored out before the boot menu showed up. I have tried the "Normal setup", the "Diagnostic setup" and all of the different file configurations under the "Selective startup" with no changes. I am not sure what else to try or even the best troubleshooting method to use from here. Please help Mike |
