Hello, I have a Windows 95 machine (not connected to internet) and I was starting to install Windows 98 Second Edition. While it was installing I had accidently pressed the button to turn the computer off! So after that I turn on my computer and it goes to the Windows 95 Boot thing where I select to run in Safe Mode, Normal Mode, etc. I select Normal Mode and I get this message the first time:

Windows protection error. Please restart your computer.

So then I reboot my computer and it gives me the screen again to pick Safe Mode, Normal Mode, etc. and I select Normal Mode again, I get this message:

Invalid VxD dynamic link call from VPICD(01) + 00000DED to device "VMM ", service 19E. Your Windows configuration is invalid. Run the Windows Setup program again to correct this problem.

To continue running Windows press Y or ENTER. To quit the current program press N. If you continue running Windows, your system may become unstable. Do you want to continue?

Press Y for Yes or N for No: Y
I press N and I get this message:

Invalid VxD dynamic link call to device number 1, service 19E. Your windows configuration is invalid. Run the Windows Setup Program again to correct this problem.

I don't know what the heck is wrong with my computer! I can't even make it to the desktop! Please, any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

It's been so long but can't you boot to the cd to start the install?

Hi Solid_Froggy,
Set your BIOS to boot from floppy. Put in the Windows 98 Startup disk :

Umm, I burned a Windows 95 floppy disk and I put it into my computer which has Win95 and I still can't get into my computer. Although, if I run it in Safe Mode with Command Prompt I can type in a command to do something. It is like DOS, but what's the command to start the A: drive? You know like C:>run or something like that?

Go here http://www.cybertechhelp.com/ and d/load the ultimate boot disk. D/load it to your desktop then put a clean floppy in A: drive and double click on the icon on your desktop, this will create a 98 boot disk. Don't d/load straight to the floppy it wont work.
Next reboot the puter with the boot disk in A: drive, once it has done the diagnostics and loaded drivers etc you should get an a: prompt, put your 98 cd into the cdrom and at the a: prompt type c:>enter at the c: prompt type setup> enter and windose should start to load. Note if c: setup don't work try e:setup if e: is the drive letter of the cdrom.

That won't really work. I can't get a big enough floopy. Any other ways?

Thanks.
