Re: orainst crashes system

I've run into that problem also. Don't know how to fix it or what causes it, but one work-around, if you can get *any* installer (maybe a v7?) to install its installer on the hard drive, then run the installer from your hard drive, which usually works. I encountered the problem mostly with v8 on Win95, but couldn't pin down the cause.
