| Hi
| I am having the same exact problems. I am sure it does not have
anything to
| do with hardware as this boots into WinXP without any problems (it is
a dual
| boot system): This computer worked fine until about 2 weeks ago. I was
| installing a new printer software in Win98 and the driver installation
fail
| to complete everytime and gives some kind of error. and I ditched the
| printer, assuming the software is bad. My reaction was to update my
| computer virus as well as Microsoft updates. But things took a turn
for the
| worst yesterday: I was installing another printer and the "building
driver
| information database" started up and then gave error: "MSGSRV32 an
error has
| occurred ....bla bla bla (close) (Ignore).
| I chose (Close) and the crashed. I turned of computer and turn on
again
| after about 2 minutes. Computer start booting up and started the
"building
| driver information database" thing then MSGSR32 caused a general
protection
| fault in module setupx.dll at 0004:00005dll.....bla bla bla. Of course
the
| computer fail to boot into Win98se. I am thinking virus. anybody has
any
| info/help this I would appreciate the help
