Window 98 - WIndow Protection Error

Hi,

I have a problem starting up my computer. Everytime, I want to start the computer. The computer will either lock up itself or show up this message: "While initialising device CONFIGMG: Windows protection error. You need to restart your computer." If I follow the instruction and restart the computer, everything is fine.

Another question I have is that I cannot read my Window 98 Help. Some letters are unreadable. I don't know if that's because I tried to install a Chinese-version software before. However, my understaing of Chinese is not very good. Will that be the cause of the problem?

Many thanks

Cowper
 
Try Start/Run/
scanreg(space)restore
and a console will open to give you choices...go back to when things were working correctly.
If that doesn't work, here's a link to possible solutions (that lead to other things to try):
The Chinese language thing teaches us all to check the box that says NEVER download stuff in languages I can't understand!
With all the majors (motherboards, peripherals, etc.) in those regions, sites there often tell us we need them to read the site correctly. NOT
You may have some font corruption and maybe should run System File Checker when you get the other problem sorted out. Scanreg may straighten that out, too, tho.
