I have this re-occurring problem every time I reinstall win98 second edition on my machine. It always give the blue screen of death when you click ok or apply to set the timezone settings.

Any ideas?

Sounds like a corrupted from being extracted from a damaged cab.

In all honesty...I'd just leave the timezone alone until setup was finished and then change it after you first boot.

Good luck to you

The first thing I would do is try another installation cd to see if you get the same problem incase you have a corrupted file on the cd. If you get the same problem, the next thing I would try to do is swap out the memory. I have had this happen a few times, in most cases It was a bad cd, a few times flakey memory, and one time I actually changed a video card and it worked. I have had this happen with win98, win95 and off97 and at diff points of the installtion process, so I know how frustrating it can be.
Hope this helps
