I don't know if anyone can help me, but I have a printing problem that has just come up. It usually occurs in Netscape, but can occur from a Adobe Acrobat as well. Once it occurs, then I cannot print from any program and have to reboot. Dr. Watson says the following:

As you can see there are two files that apparently cause trouble, GDI.EXE and KERNEL32.DLL. I have copied those from another machine and overwrote the files on my machine. That still did not help. I have reloaded WIN 98, and Netscape....to no avail.
I am wondering if I have a bad memory chip?
Any thoughts on what to do or how to go about diagnosing the problem further?
Thanks to all.
