Err Msg: While Initializing Device CONFIGMG: Windows...

• Microsoft Windows 98

SYMPTOMS

When your computer restarts after you run Windows 98 Setup, you may see the following error message:

While Initializing device CONFIGMG: Windows Protection Error. You need to restart your computer.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur because Windows Setup flushes the L2 Cache as it initializes the PCI-to-AGP Bridge on a Micro-Star International MSI-5169 motherboard.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, contact your computer manufacturer to inquire about the availability of a possible BIOS upgrade. If you already have the latest BIOS version for your computer, you may be able to work around this problem using one of the following methods:

• Disable the external (CPU or L2) cache in the CMOS. For information about how to do so, refer to the documentation included with your computer or contact your hardware manufacturer.



• If you are using an Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) video adapter, try replacing the AGP video adapter with a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) video adapter.
