Here is the error I received when updating my Microsoft Virtual Private
Networking Driver in Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition. What does anyone
make of it? Thanks in advance for all the suggestions.

RUNDLL32 caused a general protection fault
in module SETUPX.DLL at 0006:00000053.

Are you sure you are not irradiating the Win98 side again with
XP-drivers? I see nothing linking RUNDLL32 with SETUPX.DLL at...
http://search.support.microsoft.com/search/?adv=1&spid=1139 MSKB

Here is how to replace SETUPX.DLL, if necessary...

SETUPX.DLL
Desc: Windows Setup Functions
Loc: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
Size: 745,168 bytes
Mod: Friday, April 23, 1999 10:22:00 PM
Ver: 4.10.2222

That is old enough (in Win98SE) never to have been modified by an
update. So, extract it with SFC, if you can boot to Windows.

(1) "START button, Run, SFC"
(2) Bolt "Extract one file from installation disk"
(3) Enter "SETUPX.DLL" in the "Specify..." box.
(4) Click "Start".
(5) It should offer to "Save file in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM".
If not, make it so.
(6) In "Restore from", if not already pre-filled, browse to
(a) Installation CD (likely the Win98 folder) or
(b) The folder that has your cabs on the hard drive, likely
"C:\WINDOWS\options\cabs\".
(7) Click "OK"

If it discovers the file already exists, it will offer to back it up.
May as well do so. If it discovers the file is "in use", it will request
that you reboot to complete the install.

If you cannot do it in Windows, do it in DOS, per the instructions in...

Error Message When You Start Your Computer: Msgsrv32 Caused Segment Not
Present Fault in Module Setupx.dll

And here is what a healthy Rundll32.exe should look like...!...

RUNDLL32.EXE
Desc: Run a DLL as an App
Loc: C:\WINDOWS
Size: 24,576 bytes
Mod: Friday, April 23, 1999 10:22:00 PM
Ver: 4.10.1998

That is old enough (Win98SE) never to have been modified by an update.
So, extract it with SFC.

(1) "START button, Run, SFC"
(2) Bolt "Extract one file from installation disk"
(3) Enter "RUNDLL32.EXE" in the "Specify..." box.
