Tried to install Windows 98 after formatting hard drive.
Startup screen appears then I get these errors.
Application Error
SUWIN caused segment load failure in module
user.exe at 0008:06fc
w98setup caused a general protection fault in Module
User.exe at 000D:0760

Fault 000D Stack Dump 0000 0000 0070
Raw fault frame: EC=0000 ID=5EF7 CS=037F FL= 3087 SP=FFEE SS=02DF
I need some help.
Thank You.

Are you using a win98 startup or ebd diskette to boot the system and then
running setup from the cd?

Some info....

Standard Mode Messages
If you get any of the following error messages, remove
any memory managers (such as EMM386.exe, QEMM, or 386Max)
from your Config.sys file, and then run Setup again.

Standard Mode: Invalid DPMI return.
Standard Mode: Fault in MS-DOS Extender.
Standard Mode: Bad Fault in MS-DOS Extender.
Standard Mode: Unknown stack in fault dispatcher.
Standard Mode: Stack Overflow.

NOTE: If you still have problems, add EMM386.EXE back
into your Config.sys file and exclude all ranges. For
example,

device=c:\windows\emm386.exe x=A000-FFFF

If you encounter these messages or if your computer stops
responding during Setup, turn on double-buffering in
SmartDrive. Several SCSI hard drives and some ESDI drives
require double-buffering.

To turn on double buffering, add the following line to
the beginning of your Config.sys file:

device=c:\windows\smartdrv.exe /double_buffer+

where "c:\windows" is the path to your Windows directory.
