Yeh i have had that problem on a friends pc that was running 98, we couldnt work out why as it wasnt connected to internet so no virus/spyware and we hadnt installed any new hardware. It was only used for ms word and excel, I never worked out why, in the end he just left it and pushed f1 to startup the computer (everything always stil ran fine after pressing f1).
