I have a machine im working on, its running windows 98 an has a generic modem an sound card in them, there both ISA. When it begins booting i get a black screen with a windows protection error. Iv tried switching slots an fooling with the cards but nothing seems to work. Any insight here?

Some boards will boot to this error if you have an IDE ZIP installed along with a FDD.
