Rich,

See this MS article:
Windows Err Msg: Fault in MS-DOS Extender
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q87239/#appliesto

However it applies to:
Microsoft Windows 95
Microsoft Windows 98 Standard Edition

It doesn't mention Second Edition. But will give you an idea and the
causes.

Regards,

That's often caused by bad RAM

How are you installing Win98 SE? Are you using a Win98 Startup
diskette with CDrom support? And then running Setup on the CD? If
not try it.

That error can be caused by a DOS Extended Memory Manager, such as
EMM386.exe. Hence the ms-dos extender message. EMM386.exe is not
loaded when using the Startup Disk.

Win98 SE uses real Dos, AFAIK XP doesn't. Which may be why you can
install XP without the error.
