As per Microsoft…
CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the keyboard that you have attached to your computer is not working correctly. When your keyboard does not work correctly, the keyboard cannot be initialized.
RESOLUTION
With the computer turned off, disconnect and then reconnect the keyboard.
If that does not work try using another keyboard to determine if your keyboard is malfunctioning. If it is, replace the keyboard.
MORE INFORMATION
VKD is the acronym for Virtual Keyboard Device Driver.
A multi-function keyboard is a keyboard that includes additional features such as a sound volume control, a mute option, and special shortcut keys so that you can sign on to your Internet service provider (ISP) and perform functions such as "search."

There isn’t really any way to tell what it is unless someone has experience with that specific component. I did a quick search for vkd on my system and found nothing. So, I would guess vkd is the manufacturer’s nomenclature or the manufacturer itself.
ok then, anyone had this specific problem before ?

If it boots successfully, go to microsoft site to dl win98 AMD patch.
then return it to the original speed.
easier way: install win98SE instead of original win98

Выскочила в 98й винде при загрузке такая бяка(в безопасном режиме грузится): При инициализации устройства CONFIGMG: Путем тупой переустановки винды проблема уходит, но периодически выскакивает через месяц. Комп офисный довольно новый мама P4-P800MX полная интеграшка, стоит 98й на мои увещевания поставить ХР мне отвечают устойчивым отказом, сидит на нем бухгалтер, занимается только 1С, вирусов нет. Поможите люди добрые, забыл я 98й ужо. Из-за чего эта дрянь возникает, где копать? ——————— С уважением Павел Панаиотов. |

незнаю насколько это лечится (я всегда винду сносил в этом случае и заново ставил, помогало) решение имхо: ——————— Владение русской орфографией это как владение кунг-фу — истинные мастера не применяют его без надобности. |

Что-то левое пишется в автозагрузку очень криво. Какая-то программа, которая написана для NT винд и не тестилась на 32, при установки на 32 и дает такие вот глюки. Нечем не лечиться, кроме как переустановкой винды. Совет: проследи после установки каких прогрмм происходит такая ерунда. У меня такое было после установки Virtual PC.
Не поможет. Проверено. ——————— Воспитывая детей по своему образу и подобию, родители почему-то надеются, что они будут лучше их. |

По ходу ядро у них одинаковое… Возможно глюков меньше, но кости все-равно те же. Так что не думаю на Ме поможет. ——————— Воспитывая детей по своему образу и подобию, родители почему-то надеются, что они будут лучше их. |

Проще всего переставить виду и поставить на её сервиспак (для 98-ой существует). Как щас помню в папке Виндовс\Систем32\Делаеться папка Precopy в которую кладеться дистрибутив с виндой. И потом запускаеться SETUPCOR і вінда переставляеться поверх нічего не теряя. (іногда помогало…) |

Ну я вообще-то ждал что-то значимое. P.S А винду я все таки починил, удалив и заново поставив «Системные устройства» у нее с помощью шаловливых ручек отвалился ACPI System Button и Composite Power Source.

This article will examine how to resolve the “Windows Protection Error” that occurs when attempting to install older Windows systems, such as Windows 95, 98, or 2000, using Oracle VM VirtualBox or VMware Workstation virtualization programs on a computer with virtualization capabilities enabled.
How to Solve Windows Protection Error When Running Windows 95, 98, 2000, or ME with VirtualBox / VMware
With Oracle VM VirtualBox or VMware Workstation virtualization programs, you may encounter Windows Protection Error while installing an old operating system, Windows 95, or other systems on your host computer, virtual machine, or later.
When you start the system immediately after installing Windows 95 or restart the virtual machine to finish the final stages of installation, you are likely to get an error: “While initializing device OS: Windows Protection Error. You need to restart your computer.”
What Causes Protection Error?
Incompatible hardware drivers, wrong ISO files, unsupported hardware, or startup applications can usually cause a Protection Error.
- Virtual Machine Configuration: You may have needed to set the virtual hardware settings of your guest machine correctly to support an older operating system, such as Windows 95. In particular, it can be caused by memory, processor count, or incorrect disk configuration.
- Memory Limitations: Since Win95 has a different structure from modern operating systems regarding memory management, the amount of memory you assign to your VM may prevent your system from running and cause a “Protection Error.”
- Virtual Disk Drive Issues: Older Windows systems use a different structure to recognize and manage hard disk drives. Therefore, driver incompatibilities or errors can prevent your system from working correctly.
- Hardware Incompatibilities: You may encounter problems such as hardware incompatibility, which is one of the essential items, and protection errors related to the hardware of your host computer. There may be differences in your physical PC, depending on whether it uses old or new technology. Therefore, some virtual machine software may have limitations in supporting and running older operating systems.
Based on our experience with Windows protection failures, for example, we have encountered processor frequency errors when running Windows nostalgia systems on a computer with a new-generation Intel processor. Some Patch software is available to fix such problems. On the contrary, you can run old systems more efficiently on a PC with a mid-generation processor, even without Patch software.
How to Troubleshoot Protection Errors in Windows Nostalgia Systems
Sometimes, when you experience issues with running legacy systems, or even Oracle software on different computers, you can resolve the protection fault simply by disabling the VT-x/AMD-V feature.
Step 1: Disable VT-X/AMD-V Feature
When installing Windows 95 in VirtualBox or VMware software, one of the first things to do if you encounter a Protection Error, as shown in the image below, is to turn off the virtualization feature.
First, try to avoid this error by disabling the VT-x feature and completely shutting down your guest system. To do this, click X, select Power off the machine from the Close Virtual Machine window that opens, and click OK.
View the settings of your Windows guest machine and uncheck the Enable VT-x/AMD-V option from the Hardware Virtualization settings in the Acceleration tab in the right panel of the System section.
Step 2: Change the Memory Amount
Do not assign a size larger than the supported limit to your virtual system, as older Windows systems have limited memory. For example, a 4 GB RAM size may cause your VM not to work correctly. Therefore, the appropriate RAM size for older operating systems is 256 or 512 MB.
Step 3: Use Another ISO File
ISO files obtained from various websites on the Internet may require repair. We highly recommend acquiring the installation media from a trustworthy source to ensure a secure installation process.
Step 4: Set the USB Controller to 1.1
As mentioned earlier, it is essential to thoroughly examine the configuration of your virtual computer, as it may not be fully compatible with contemporary technologies. For example, they do not support USB 3.0 as Microsoft developed the Windows 95 or 98 systems years ago. We also recommend setting the USB version number to 1.1 on your virtual machine (VM).
Step 5: Reduce Virtual Disk Size
Older Windows systems need less disk space because the system files are relatively scarce. Therefore, it’s unreasonable to configure a disk size of 100GB for an older system. You may also encounter the Windows Protection Error in these situations. If you prepare a new Windows 95 in the Virtual PC wizard, set the disk size to 1 or 2 GB to avoid errors.
Step 6: Disable All 32-bit Protect-Mode Disk Drives
Even if you have installed your system, a protection failure may occur occasionally. Still, another method that can be tried to eliminate this problem is to enable the “Disable all 32-bit protect-mode disk drivers” option.
To enable this option, open System Properties / Performance / File System settings and select “Disable all 32-bit protect-mode disk drivers” in the Troubleshooting tab of the File System Properties window and save the settings.
Conclusion
As a result, we can run older Windows systems such as Windows 95, 98, or 2000 in virtual environments. However, there may be occasional issues with virtualization programs, such as Oracle VM VirtualBox or VMware Workstation. For example, encountering “Windows Protection Error” is quite annoying.
However, you can fix this problem by carefully adjusting the virtual machine configurations. Moreover, when disabling certain features, it is essential to consider hardware and file compatibility.
The methods I described in this article are definitely effective. So you can still enjoy older operating systems without encountering protection errors.
