Dear all,

I recently installed win xp. I have problem installing some software which was competable with win 98 or 95. when I tried for example to install oxford dictionary I recieved the following message:
"setup caused a general protection fault in model KRNL386.exe at 0001:2452"

then could not carry on installation any further.

Have you tried Forced Compatibility ? Right click on exe file of the prog you want to install, select properties and open the Compatibility Tab. You can choose the OS you require from there.
