[RESOLVED] Win98SE Protection Error

Hi there

I have just installed win98se, everything went well until I switched on my Epson GT7000 Photo Scanner which causes windows to display the following error message While Initializing device CONFIGMG windows protection error please restart windows.

This only happens when I turn on the scanner when starting up or reseting my computer, if the scanner is left switched off everything starts up fine.

If anyone can help me with this problem I would be very grateful, My hardware spec is

AMD Athlon 800
Abit KA7 Motherboard
256mb PC133 CAS2 Memory
34.2GB IBM Harddrive
Matrox G400 DH 32mb AGP Video
Soundblaster Live Value
Iomega 250mb internal zip drive
Pace 56K Modem
Pioneer 10x 40x DVD
Plextor 8X 20X CDWriter
Plextor 40x SCSI CDRom Drive

Thanks
