If you dont' have the solution, there's lots of money to be made by prolonging the problem!

Personally, I think good old CP/M was a pretty good OS. I still have an old Xerox 820-II around here somewhere. I know, Bad me - still hijacking.........

So it'll be easier to see the errors on the BSOD, I recommend that you disable Automatic Restart by doing the following: from Control Panel, double click on the System icon click on "Advanced System Settings" in the upper left corner click on the Settings button in the Startup and Recovery Section (3rd settings button down) uncheck the "Automatically Restart" box and then click "OK" to all the windows. Now when you get the dreaded Blue Screen of Death, it will set on that window and let you see all the error data.

Save the lines listed below to a file called "ERROROFF.REG" or whatever you want it called and double click on it when reinstalling XP and it'll do the work for you. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;Disables Error Reporting, but notifies when errors occur [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PCHealth\ErrorReporting] "DoReport"=dword:00000000

I had the same problem with my installation some years ago. Here's the microsoft support page to fix the problem..................... http://support.microsoft.com/kb/108079/EN-US/ Windows 98se has a problem with system having more than 512mb of memory. Your problem can be solved by editing the SYSTEM.INI file. 1. Open the System.ini file in a text editor, such as Microsoft Windows Notepad. 2. Go to the [VCache] section. 3. Change the MinFileCache= and the MaxFileCache= settings to the desired value. NOTE: The value for these settings are in kilobytes. For example, if you want to create a 50-MB cache that cannot exceed 55 MB, the lines would be as follows: [VCache] MinFileCache=51200 MaxFileCache=56320
