CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you have an AST Ascentia M-series computer that is suspended and then resumed during Windows 98 Setup.



RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, restart your computer, run Setup again, and then choose Smart Recovery when you are prompted. Do not suspend your computer until Windows 98 Setup is completed.

To resolve this behavior, contact AST Technical Support to inquire about the availability of an updated BIOS.
