I have an Hp pavilion 500mhz, 256ram, pentium 3,and windows 98. So i recently wiped out my hard drive and then installed a GForce 4 mx 420 with 64mb sdram.(PCI) My computer meets all the requirements for the card including directx 8.1, 350 watt power supply,etc... except i dont know if it has Window NT4.0 with Service pack 5 or 6.(becuase i really dont know what that is) Anywho, the card works fine, Medal of honor plays great. However when i boot up i get a message that says....

Expanded Memory Driver version 4.95
EMM386 not installed
Unable to seperate page frame base

(or somethin like that, its not really word for word)
then it says...

installing "something"
EMM386 active

I really have know idea what is goin on here.
The second problem is when i try to shut down the computer it goes to a blue screen that reads....

Windows
An exception OE has occured at 0028:f000EC59 in VxD---. This was called from 0028:C0058B85 in VxD shell (01)+00000549. It may be possible to continue normally.
*press any key to attempt to continue
*press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart your computer
Press any key to continue_

When i press any key nothing happens and when i press ctrl+alt+del it brings up a similar blue screen with some different crazy numbers and somethin about a fatal exception. Also i'm running norton system works if that has anything to do with it. I dont know if these problems are due to my graphics card or not. Maybe i need a driver or two. If any of you understood my problem please help. thanks.
