Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Setup / March 2006New Win98 Install problems.
Well, I have been having some issues with a computer that I have here. I run the setup command and the first welcome to windows box pops up. Choices are to exit setup or to continue. I click continue and the bar goes all the way to 100 percent and just hangs there. The system only has two 64mb ram sticks, An AGP video card, 40x CD rom, 4.3gb hard drive. I have no cards in the system but the video card I have tested the two sticks of ram individually and they come up fine. I have the install files on the hard drive and I have tried two differnt hard drives with the same results. The only other thing I haven't done is try a differnt processor. The one that is in the machine is a PIII 550 Slot processor. I am hoping that that isn't the issue, but it is looking more and more like it is the problem. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks ahead of time. Phil Go into the BIOS setup and make sure that boot virus protection is disabled. Be sure to save the change when exiting. If this doesn't help, try running setup with the "/ir" switch. setup /ir Ben "Phil retrobytes.com>" <phil@<nospam> wrote in message news:F70A1FCA-6AF3-4524-8412-1D740D5F1ED0@microsoft.com... > Well, I have been having some issues with a computer that I have here.

I just couldn't figure out why the 4.3gig drives wouldn't work. I even low level formated the drives to make sure that there was nothing on them. It was very strange, but the problem has been resolved. Thanks for your suggestion.
