Question Fatal Error Message

To briefly describe my problem, I built my computer and I
was installing Windows 98 on it, when I keep getting this
message:

A fatal exception OE has occurred at 0167:BFF9DFFF. The
current application will be terminated.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Please let me know!

Thank you!

your problem is 98 sucks and xp rules all. get that and your problems shall be solved. lol no i actually dont know what the problem is. I had that happen to my computer and when i finally determined what the problem was it turned out being the memory was set to run at 400mhz and i guess it wasnt supost to be. once i lowered it to 333mhz the problem just dispeared.

Even within Windows, Windows2003 server is superior in damn near every fashion from performance, stability even to aesthetics.

Also try doing an extended memory check during bootup to check for messed up ram
