when installing windows 98 on my newly built pc I get to the

searching of plug-ins and it then hangs, this has happened multiple
times so please could anyone give me some suggestions:confused:

I have a XFX geforce 6600gt and soundcard already plugged in is

this likely to be causing the problems??

thankyou in advance for all help I am given

hi ,you don't need to install win98 first to use the upgrade ,you just use xp and when asked you put the win98 cd in as proof of ownership of previous version, win98

thanks for the info and i will try it out and get back to you on the outcome
