| 206819 | 2004-01-11 21:47:00 | When I try and install Windows 98, I get the problem, ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Application Error SUWIN caused Segment Load Failure in module SUWIN.EXE at 0004:7624. [Close] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have tried 2 different copies of Win98. The first, the error appeared while 'preparing to copy files', the other just after 'select directory' (when I clicked next it appeared). What can I do about this? My PC is a Digital PC 3000, with 128MB of RAM (2 x 64MB 168-pin), and an MMX P233 chip. I have a network card and sound card, both PCI installed. I am installing of a 48X cd-rom drive. |

| 206820 | 2004-01-11 21:59:00 | george12, Have a read of the following MS KB articles Here (support.microsoft.com) and Here (support.microsoft.com) for some advice. Note that SUWIN is the protected-mode Setup component(s) responsible for calling all other dynamic link libraries (DLLs) used in Setup. Cheers, Babe. |

| 206822 | 2004-01-11 22:26:00 | I'm following the KB advise now. The PC really crawls when you start disabling caches. I'm doing setup with 216 mins to go. | george12 (7) | ||
| 206823 | 2004-01-12 01:06:00 | Hi guys. 2 hours 25 min later and it's just finished copying files. I am running a memory test to see if that was the problem. | george12 (7) | ||
| 206824 | 2004-01-12 01:25:00 | hey, I think I know what could be the problem: on the mem test it says: L1 Cache - 16K 175MB/s - fine L2 Cache - Unknown - problem? In the BIOS I have options for Internal and External cache. Are these just different names for L1 and L2? I reckon disabling the L2 cache would fix the thing, but you guys know best. I have of course ruled out all the cards and stuff by taking them all out. The memtest is now at 72%, so I will continue installing windows soon. |

| 206825 | 2004-01-12 01:33:00 | OK, the story is, I know the cache is the problem, because it works when I disable the cache. I think I need to disable the L2 cache. Am I right? If I am, then which is L2, external (memory) or internal (cpu)? Sorry for posting so many consecutive comments. |

| 206826 | 2004-01-12 02:24:00 | george12, The level 2 cache for the Intel 233MMX CPU was on the intel motherboard and was usually 256 KB - 512 KB, So I guess that's the external cache you are talking about. Cheers, Babe. |

| 206827 | 2004-01-12 04:30:00 | no, it was the internal (cpu) cache. sadly, that is the one that makes it run incredibly slow. Would sticking in a new cpu fix the problem? Because I have a few only slightly slower (200, 166 & 133). | george12 (7) | ||
