I have a laptop that has, (had) what appeared to be some corrupted WIN98 files. No big deal, let's reinstall 98 over the original. Be that it is a laptop and either uses the fdd, or the cdrom, I inserted the win98 upgrade and started it up. Everything was running along until "detecting devices" came along. When it begins, I get the Close/Ignore Msgsrv32 error has occured. I cannot ignore so I close and I get the Illegal Op of a GP in COMMCTRL.DLL. Close that and the window just sits there at 16 minutes and counting.

Interestingly enough, I can restart into safe mode and the whole thing boots right up without a problem (in safe mode). If I allow the install to continue (after reboot) I get the same error......

Any suggestions?
