I tried to upgrade to Win XP, but couldn't as there I've not found any drivers for my modem that work.
I decided to go back to Win ME, but keep getting faults when I try installing ME or 98
"SUWIN caused general protection error in module <unknown> 040F:0CCA|SUWIN SUWIN will now close" followed by a close button. Clicking the closse button 9 times does nothing, the the 10th click causes the word "close" on the button to disappear (but the button remains). The 11th click sends me back to a DOS prompt.

There is nothing on the MS website for this prob - I've tried the solutions for similar probs (SUWIN & pidgen.dll, and correcting the date etc etc) to no avail.

My system did run fine before I tried to install XP, but now it seems to be f***ed.

I can run my system using the original restore disk which runs 98SE from a ghost file and removes all my partitions. After that I can no longer install another OS.
