windows problem - any ideas?
Hello forum group
I am having a problem with my pc
I run windows 98
The problem effects every program that requires a file/open, even Windows Explorer does not work, it shows a blank screen, or a frozen screen showing only an incomplete directory (only C drive in My Computer, but i have four drives).
Symptom: Everything seems to work at first. i can surf the web, i can open programs. but as soon as i ask to open a file on my machine, poof, the machine freezes. as soon as i touch the small black triangle indicating a call for the directory.
I can still do ctrl/alt/delete and stop the frozen program from which i called for a file, but the problem is very all encompassing. no program will allow opening of a file.
Sometimes if i reboot a few times it will work! i can see everything, i can open any file...but only for a minute or two. then it freezes up again.
I wish i knew more about the machine to deal with this sort of thing, any ideas?
