Bill, it didn't work

I tried what you said and it didn't work. I still get
the message that windows can't be installed because there
is not enough extended memory. Any other suggestions?

That message is usually "not enough conventional memory". But try
this anyway:

When you boot with the Win98 Startup diskette and change to the
CDrom drive enter:
Setup /IM (that's an eye)

That should skip the check for low conventional memory that Setup
uses to de-compress files.

Also after booting with the floppy enter:
MEM /C
Does the memory look ok?

Whenever I tried this I only got "Bad command or file
name."

The message I keep getting is: "The windows 98 startup
disk could not create a temporary drive for the
diagnostic tools. This may be because this computer has
less than the minimum required extended memory.
Path not found - :\COMMAND.COM
Path not found - :\EXTRACT.EXE
Path not found - :\README.TXT
bad command or file name
The diagnostic tools were successfully loaded to drive.
File not found."

None of the suggestions I have tried worked. Can you
help?

Can you boot to Dos without the Startup diskette?
If you can then enter MEM /C from Dos, does it show ALL your
memory?

All I get is "Bad command or file name."
My memory shows up in the Bios though.
