| 89851 | 2002-10-16 10:54:00 | I was doing some work exp. at a PC repair shop. W98SE Setup froze at the HW detection stage of W98 Install.I first tried unplugging the PC & plugging it back in, still continued to hang for a long time. A Tech said to remove HW items & see if that fixes it, basically isolation to find the guilty piece of HW, while the MS Support site suggests support.microsoft.com As I am trying to learn more about the trade, has anyone got any advice on what would be the best solution for this scenario. Thanks. |

| 89853 | 2002-10-16 21:53:00 | You could try 98lite www.litepc.com I heard of something like that, and xtremeXP has given some sound advice that I would too suggest, however, should you still have problems, look into this. Never actually tried it myself, so It'd be good to hear from somebody who has done 98Lite. I think Tweak'e has, but I'm not sure. Anyways, Check it out. Hope that helps Chilling_Silence |
