Hey all, I am a newcomer to the board but I needed some help with a Windows 98 machine I am building for my daughter to play some old kids games on and surf a couple of kids websites. The problem is that, after a fresh install of Win98SE, the system will freeze at random periods. Typically, it will happen when opening Internet Explorer [sometimes trying to select Tools -> Internet Options will cause it to lock up] or even Windows Explorer. The freezes don't happen at any predictable time, either. These freezes render the system totally non-responsive, requiring a hard shut down and reboot. I have installed and used the Win98 SP3 Alpha as well, with no improvement. I have just had TinyXP running on it without trouble but I thought Windows 98 would be a better run with only 256 MB of memory. My system is as follows: Asus TUSI-M motherboard Pentium III 733 MHz CPU 256 MB PC133 RAM [2 x 128 MB] ATI Radeon 9250 PCI Video Card Onboard sound 2 IDE Hard Drives [20 MB and 40 MB] Any takers to help me? I would greatly appreciate it!
