Can you try it with different SIMM chips?
Are you loading from CD-rom?  If so try creating a Windows\options\cabs directorys and then copy the Win95 directory from the CD-rom into the c:>\windows\options\cabs.

Run setup from there.

ryans got it right. Every time (about 6 now) that I've seen this message, it's been bad memory.
Have a look at this document and see if this helps,
There can be alot of different things that can cause this problem including bad hardware, but have a look non the less and see if you find something that helps you here. You may have to register and fill out a 5 minute form to access the Ms Kb.
