While troubleshooting a Windows 98 problem I decided to install Win98 over top of itself to see if the issue was a corrupt OS. &nbsp;I've done this before with no problem. &nbsp;This time when the computer reboots and goes into check of plugNplay devices it give a fatal error. &nbsp;Now I'd like to &quot;change my mind&quot; and cancel the installation if that's possible. &nbsp;I looked in run once registry area and removed everything that looked like it was setup related but no help.<br />

Does anyone know if there is a way in registry or otherwise to stop a Windows 98 installation once it has begun?
