Before you wipe everything, you might want to give the Windows 98 'System File Checker' a try. It checks for corrupt system files, and re-installs any bad ones from your original CD. It cured the problems that I was having with Win98se. I haven't had one system hang-up or crash since! ****************** From the Microsoft support site.... Using System File Checker You can use System File Checker to verify the integrity of your operating system files, to restore them if they are corrupted, and to extract compressed files (such as drivers) from your installation disks. You can have System File Checker back up the existing files before restoring the original files. You can also customize search criteria based on folder and file extension. Start System File Checker. Note: You can start System File Checker by clicking Start, pointing to Programs, pointing to Accessories, pointing to System Tools, and then clicking System Information. In System Information, click Tools, and then click System File Checker. ************** Good Luck, Let me know if it helps. - Ken
