I'm using Win95 with pentium 200. i was currently running my PC and installing office 2000 through network (my PC is the source), and after several minutes, my PC (source PC) hang, but the mouse can move, i just turn off the power and on again. The problem is when i on again, it says that Operating System not found. I was wondering what is happen to my PC? I've check all the cables, is well connected. i have no choice, i fdisk and formatted it. Can anyone tell me what's the main cause of the problem?

this could be related to the size of the program your installing. is it a 32-bit program? trying to load onto a 16-bit platform? this could lock you up and mix up the processor when rebooted. however, i wouldnt fdisk/format each something like this happens, unless this is a new machine

If you are getting past the POST test, try booting into safemode and see if you can get in...then see if you can uninstall the new software. Also try booting off your UBD, get to a command prompt and run a SCANREG /RESTORE. It sound like there may be a software/driver conflict. Check the office 2000 Min requirements and then judge based on what you have installed whether you are pushing the min. requirements.

Good luck
