    Red face Windows 98 protection errors at boot up

    This has been a consistent problem for me for a while. I have an AMD K-6 II 450 running in a shuttle board with 128 megs. I am running win 98 upgrade version 4.10.1998. I did not upgrade from win 95, but loaded in win 98 and used my full version of win 95 for just verification during the loading of win 98. I know about the problems with win 95 and AMD 350 and above chips, but I can not use that patch. I conisitently get windows protection errors, can't initilazie NDIS etc. When I boot the system back up it gives me the list of options to boot it in safe mode etc. I just boot it in regular mode and it comes up to windows ok. So what can be the problem?

    Thanks,

    Also make sure that k6-2 isn't running hot. Junk CPU fans didn't work well on the k6-2s.

    If chip and all is good then try renaming your autoexec.bat and config.sys files, and reboot. I have had several windows protection errors go away, and several start from funny settings in those files. MS has complete troubleshooting guide for protection errors!
