Can someone please help. I recently purchased a new PC, and Windows 98. For some reason it is randomly hanging, leaving whatever images are on screen (at the time) scrunched up in the form of a series of coloured lines (a couple of centimetres in width) across the middle of the screen. Occasionally there is slow movement in the lines (the remaining image) for 5-10 seconds after the problem starts. The scan disk doesn't detect any problems, and it often takes several boots (the same image of lines remains) before I can get Windows 98 back to normal. Furthemore, once the hanging problem starts, it then happens at least daily. The only way I have been able to resolve the issue (for any length of time) to date is to reload Windows 98, hardly a satisfactory solution, but regardless the cycle eventually repeats itself. Any gurus out there with any theories? Is there a fix or somewhere I can got to at Microsoft to get advice? Please email me. -- ikey@skibuff.com You can take the man out of Canterbury but you can't take the Canterbury out of the man
