It might help if you told us what the stop error (blue screen) says. Of course it may be to cryptic to help but you never know.
Click Start/Run and type in SFC and hit enter. During the system file check SETUPX.DLL will show up, ignore it. If any others show up extract them from the Windows 98 Cd.
If that fails, open Device Manager and remove the Cd-Rom, reboot and let Windows detect new hardware and install the drivers for it.
As a last resort you may have to reinstall Windows over itself to replace any corrupted system files.
Good Luck, Ted.
