except photos

Shouldn't be any problem viewing photos. What were they...tiffs, bmp, jpeg? If he doesn't have a program to view and do some basic editing he can download Irfanview ( irfanview.com ). It should handle them.

Win98 gets hung up when defragging

Try starting in safe mode and defragging. Restart the computer and when you hear the POST beeps tap the F8 key. You may have to do this more than once if you time it wrong. When it works and you come to a dos-like page (black) use the keyboard arrow keys to navigate and highlight Safe Mode and hit enter. That should work.
