Hi,
I have a windows98 computer and I'm trying to install excel 97' on it..I keep getting an illegal operation...It is as follows:
ACMSETUP caused an invalid page fault in module KERNEL32.dll at 0177:bff9d709.....
Does anybody know the cause...
Any help would be appreciated.

See:

Basically, you need to go into Device Manager and disable DMA for your CDROM (and possibly dik drives as well).

Hope this helps!
