help: freeze ups
 

I have a Compaq Presario 133MHZ. It has 98se and it freezes on startup sometimes. Is there a problem with the computer or the program. I run Scandisk and Defrag and it runs fine for a while without problems. After a while it'll freeze when starting up. Solutions?

Read your statement again and think about the newest things today ^_^

Damn, if I had as many problems as you've had with computers since you arrived here, I'd live in a cave:p

Belive me, my Personal Confuser probably has way more problems than anyone else's; I just don't feel like reporting all of them or else I'd reach Forum King in a day!

If it's started recently think back to what it was you did before it started happening. Did you install a program? Remove a program? Delete all files that didn't show normal charachters when opened in a text editor? When are you running scandisk? On startup before windows is loaded or when windows is loaded? Are you running any programs in the background when performing a scan? Are there any programs that are running when your PC freezes? Do you run a firewall and virus scanner? Does the virus scanner run all the time in the back ground? Are its virus definitions up todate? Do you scan for ad-ware and remove all of it regularly?

For gods sake, GET A NEW COMPUTER!

that thing is a museum peice! I have one of them (that VERY moddle) as a curio.

I have 2 Compaq Deskstar P166 machines running as servers. Very good machines, lovely and stable :).

Well I am currently on a
Pentium 120 Mhz, 48 MB RAM
Windows 98Se

Damn dad won't share his 1Ghz Athlon :mad:
