Does anybody know why the following error codes are occuring after the installation of Windows 98 in a newly formated hard drive:
rundll32-invalid page fault in unknown module at 0000:fff7ce9b; regsvr32 in Kernel32.dll; and runonce invalid pf in unknown at 0000:fff7ce9b. Installation of Office 97 also did not load properly, Explorer continues to fail when opening folders.

Hard drive has been reformatted, scandisk, and even defragmented still no luck with the installation of Window 98 or MS Office 97. Please help!!!

If it's a standard pc you probabily have a physical error in your ram. If u have more than one dimm, leave only one and try again, if u find again same error, try with another one. If u have only one dimm change it and try again. Take a look also atthe cpu cooler fan.

Did exactly what Fabio recommended and it work. RAM was indeed the culprit. I removed the first dimm and reinstalled Win98 SE, had an error - not enough memory, shut down, added the RAM back, restarted the computer and it worked!

Thanks Fabioand Brad.
