If you look at this PDF:

http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/8i_personal/pdf/a73010.pdf

The problem occurs on Step 6 on page 52 of 122. It occurs during the Configuration Tools setup for the Oracle Database Configuration Assistant. Another window pop up for that installation (Making Database Startup Automatically?) and then a DOS window with COMMAND.COM at the end of the title appears. It is at that exact moment the BSOD appears. I had to reboot my computer to get back to my desktop. All the Oracle icons appear in my Program Menu so I assume it works. However I'd hate to run into weird problems later and have this be the reason. Thanks.
