    Try updating Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer, and your video drivers.

    If you still need help PM me.

    is there a reason you're running 98se? i'd suggest going with windows xp pro if at all possible. and just keep the security updates up to date. which isn't hard to do with dsl. pm me if you want about info obtaining a copy :) ;) ;D

    It would be wise to do the following, and maybe it will fix your problem:

    1. http://www.lavasoft.de

    Download Ad-Aware, install it, update it, and run it to scan your computer for annoying software.

    2. Run an updated VirusScan and scan your computer for viruses.

    3. Next time you format, before you format, type "fdisk /mbr" or "fdisk c: /mbr". This resets the master boot record on your primary hard disk where viruses or bad data can lurk.

    All in all, you'd probably want to get somewhere more than 128MB RAM (you didn't specify how much you had - you might want to consider 196-256 MB) and install Windows 2000 or Windows XP (they work best with >128 MB RAM).

    Those OS's are much smoother and capable than all the Windows 9X systems.

    yeah i use win2k because of an article I read awhile ago that told how xp spies on you in more than 16 different ways...and I just use Windowblinds since 2000 normally looks like crap, sorry if I'm off-topic, oh well...peace out

    The answer to all your problems is easy..... Buy another PC and dump your old one. Not really practical but there's nothing quite like a fresh, brand new out of the box computer..... mmmmm, I can almost smell the styrofoam.

    Oh, and the other guy was right... avoid any OS before XP if you want a decent system.


    If you got to http://www.suprnova.tk you can get what you need there (under applications).... I love this site.

    Yes, I've noticed this with all versions of windows, but ME especially.
