I have searched all over the Internet and cannot find a solution for
this. I am trying to install SQL Server on my new Windows Server 2003
Standard server and as soon as the CD is popped in the drive, I get the
following error:

WOWEXEC caused a General Protection Fault in module KRNL386.EXE at
0003:0557.
Chose close. WOWEXEC will close.

Very rarely does Google fail to come up with a solution for me, but
this one has me stumped.

TIA.
