Ed...

You need to completely STOP all TSR applications running on the PC BEFORE
you install the Lexmark Drivers for the Z51, IE get rid of the installed
software you have on the Dell...Then try again ..as I say without the
TSR/Applications running...This WILL solve the problem....I have a Z51 and
Win98 and had EXACTLY the same problem.....
