Fatal error

[Steve M.]

I am attempting to reload Windows 98 onto a re-formatted
hard drive. The drive was completely clean upon beginning
this endeavor. The disk is the Windows 98 SE upgrade from
Windows 95. I get all the way to the end of the setup and
when windows reboots for the final time, it freezes on
the Windows 98 logo page upon startup. I then am left
with no choice but to manually power down. Upon power up,
I get the following message: A fatal exception OE has
occured at 0028:C0052A02 in VXD VPICD(01)+00001EC2. The
current application will be terminated. Any ideas or
suggestions?? HELP! Thanks!

Remove or disable as many hardware devices as possible and try the setup
again. You can add each device in after Windows has successfully started.
