| 95540 | 2002-11-02 20:28:00 | I just intsalled Windows 98 (First Edition), along with drivers etc. I installed IE6 off the PCWorld Plus! CD (Dec 2001/Jan 2002), and unzipped DirectX 8.0a into the standard mssdk folder. I ran the setup program, it required the mandatory reboot, and when I start up I get a --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- While initializing device CM: Windows protection error. You need to restart your computer. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I restart, and boot into safe mode fine, but then when I reboot into normal mode, I get the same error. Does anybody know how to fix this problem? |

| 95541 | 2002-11-02 20:39:00 | while in safemode loadup msconfig and disable any unncessary vxd's the newest one is probably at the bottom and is the one causing the problem. ? why did you install 8.0a isn't 8.1 out |

| 95543 | 2002-11-03 08:50:00 | 8.0a is the bug fix ver of 8.0. 8.1b (as its so called) is a minor bugfix of 8.1. 8.2 is a bug fix upgrade for a few games that have problems with 8.1. |
