Troubleshooting "Invalid Product Key" Error Message During Setup
(Q232142)
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q232/1/42.asp
Microsoft's Knowledge Base lists more than a dozen mostly minor Windows 98 SE bugs. The most widely reported problems seem related to power management activities such as booting up and shutting down, and may not be entirely Microsoft's fault. Power management glitches are often caused by problems in the third-party system BIOS software built into the motherboard. Some BIOSs apparently don't interact well with Windows 98 SE's power management software, which differs slightly from the original version in Windows 98. Microsoft is aware of specific shutdown problems and plans to post an update shortly.
BUG After upgrading to Windows 98 SE, you may find that trying to shut down triggers a protection-fault error or reboot, and that the system won't wake up from suspend mode.
WORK-AROUND If your Pentium II or Pentium III system uses Intel's popular
SE440BX-2 motherboard (ask the manufacturer if you don't know), you may
be able to put an end to these errors by upgrading to the latest BIOS--version
13, as we went to press. Visit Intel's SE440BX-2 BIOS update Web page for
the download, installation instructions, and release notes that describe
the fixes the download contains.
http://developer.intel.com/design/motherbd/se2/se2_bios.htm
Other reported problems are a by-product of Windows 98 Second Edition's installation routines:
BUG If you use a Toshiba Portégé 7020 laptop with a docking station, the system won't awake from hibernation mode after you install Windows 98 Second Edition.
WORK-AROUND Toshiba's solution is to restart the system in MS-DOS mode;
enter the command halloc /r at the DOS prompt, and then the command halloc
/c; and reboot. This sequence deletes and rebuilds a necessary configuration
file created during installation. Microsoft's Knowledge Base also reports
that Windows 98 SE balks at a Toshiba power management driver installed
on some systems, and suggests downloading an update from Toshiba first.
To find out whether your system needs a driver or BIOS upgrade to be compatible
with Windows 98 SE, start at Toshiba's support page.
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects
/Toshiba.woa/wa/goto?page=ServiceSupportMain
Toshiba also discloses a more widespread problem with its Equium desktop systems:
BUG After a user upgrades an Equium to Windows 98 SE, the system fails to boot and reports a memory parity error. The real problem is Win 98 SE's incompatibility with the Equium's existing ATI Rage video drivers (or vice versa).
WORK-AROUND In any case, if you own a Toshiba system, visit Toshiba's
Web site.
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/Toshiba
Click the Support tab, select your Equium model from the drop-down
menu, and click Go; then click on the Support Bulletins link and scroll
down until you find information on "Memory Parity Error Detected, System
Halted after installing Windows 98."
Visitors of Windows 98 newsgroups note a similar situation with Diamond's
SupraMax modem. Apparently, upgrading to Win 98 SE installs an incorrect
driver, even though a good driver is already installed. After the upgrade,
the system reports frequent "dpal" errors. The solution is to reinstall
the V.90 upgrade drivers, which are available at Diamond's modem upgrade
page.
