Please Help me with this blue error screen of Win98SE !
 

Hi,
Because of some problems, I'am trying to re-install Win98 on top of itself
but get a blue error screen when it tries to check "installed Windows
components"...
The message is something like this:
-------------------------
A fatal exception 0E has occured at 0028:C02B13D8 in IFSMGR(04) + 00012AEC.
The current applicaiton will be terminated.
xxxxxxxxxxx
Press any key to continue
-------------------------
Can anyone suggest how to get over with this problem?
TIA

Reinstalling over a buggy system is not a good idea.
back up your data and reinstall from scratch.
Add antivirus and adware/spyware scanners as well.
The web isn't as friendly as it used to be.

Thanks for your answer Harrison,
I agree in general with you but what I look forward now is to learn a way to
diagnose the trouble and get rid of it before I give up and do a total
format+re-install.

Re-read the first line of Harrison's posting: "Reinstalling over a buggy
system is not a good idea." Forget clearing out the bugs, backup and
reinstall from scratch.
