re: Windows Protection Error Thursday, May 22, 2003 at 12:18 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by franky (1 messages posted) Hello everyone... I'm getting the dreaded "Windows protection error. Restart your machine..." error at startup. It's funny though... I only get this message when I try and install my video card drivers. If I uninstall the drivers in Safe Mode, I can boot up the computer normally. But the second I put in my graphics drivers - BAM! - I get hit with that stinkin' error message. My graphics card is a Creative Annihilator 2 and my Motherboard is a P4PB Ultra from VIA. Could this be an AGP issue? Has anyone had a similar problem or does anyone know some possible solutions? Thanks in advance!
