Windows Millennium Installation Problems

[wnied]

I am doing a full install of Windows Millennium for my cousin, and encountered a Windows Protection Error. Got the BSOD with the Error that says Windows Protection Error IOS.
I have no idea what this means. The systems requirements are more than adaquate for running Millennium. Its an AMD K62 450 with 96MB of PC-100 SDRAM, and a Maxtor 13.6GB ATA66 7200RPM Drive. The Motherboard is an Asus P5A. Any Ideas?

All Helps appreciated.

The only advice I can give, is if when you formatted, if you used the quick format option, format c:\q, this does not erase the bad sectors off a harddrive. IF you did it that way, try doing the normal way, format C: , then install
thats my only suggestion
run scandisk and all that..
Hope i helped =/

the p5a is an ata33 board , are you using a ultra 66 controller card? if you are i suggest you install off of the onboard ide. Also that error makes me think there is something going on with your cpu, either timing or overheating.

Check your RAM. I had the same problem and found out one of my sticks was causing a problem. It wasn't a bad stick, but the other 3 sticks didn't like its face. I took it out and the problem went away.

Is there an option for anti-virus protection in the bios?
If so, mkae sure to disbale that.

Try to lower the RAM timings (Turbo->Normal) or CAS3->CAS2
or to lower the 2nd level cache timings (Fastest-Fast)

All this can be find in the CHipset Tab in BIOS.

hOPE this helps...

is this error encountered during the installation or after?

if after, could be incompatible drivers (i had a lot of these when i got WinME when it just came out while the vendors were still working on compatible ones)

Got the installation down now, I have errors with netscape when using address.com and bluelight.coms free internet services. I installed Netscape 4.73 and set it as the default web browser. when I logon to address.com or bluelight.com, I get some screwy java error and then a netscape error which crashes netscape. When I clickon it again, it works, but a file pops up on my desktop like this... _hash684521
I have no clue what the hell it is. I'm thinking its a file created everytime netscape crashes. But I dont iknow how to fix it or stop it from popping up on the desktop...Any suggestions? Oh and its not a virus, as I have scanned this machine with the most updated versions of Norton,Panda and PCcillen anti-virus.

HELP!!!!
