When i installed WIN98, it froze at the "Starting WIN98 for the first time".
I tried to reinstall, but it was the same every time.
Soon i discovered that it would start, and work normal if i used the Step confirmation option at boot and choose no to system registry, that is the first option.
But, naturally i don't want to do that, every time i turn on the computer.

Also, and i don't know if this os related, Windows Media Player doesn't work on my system. I get the message that the program has caussed an error in the file msdxm.osx.

So if annyone has a solution to this problem, you are way smarter than annyone i know!!!
 
Yeah, i tried installing DX still nothing...
 
Go back to the basics. Remove your modem and sound card from the computer. Remove them from device manager in safe mode. Reinstall windows right over top of itself. Add your cards back one at a time.
