freezes up

Any number of things could be causing the hang-up
Click Start->Run,type in MSCONFIGand now try troubleshooting by de-selecting one box at a time and see what results you get

Also check the Task Manager and see what programs you have running in the background,suchas anti-virus software,screensavers which will cause system hang up,check for driver updates and make sure the drivers are current,video drivers,and then try disabling power management to see if this is causing the problem

You are going to have to get WAY more detailed in your problem description before ANYBODY could tell you anything worth anything. That's like asking a mechanic why your car isn't working when all he knows is it's a Plymouth Duster.

Things like when the freeze occurs, what you're doing, a complete hardware description of the computer, and what programs are running would be a start.

Well...hmm lots of ideas here is one MB specific. If you have the Asus A7m266 and an XP processor you need to download the latest Bios from asus. www.asus.com. The bios version you need is at least 1006.

HUM! Win 98, Brand NEW system, Been in storage almost four years. Win 98 SE or plain WIN 98? FOR:

Motherboard - Go to Manufacturor and download latest Bios upgrade.

Sound card - Go to Manufacturor and download latest drivers

Video - Go to Manufacturor and download latest drivers

Win 98 / Win 98 SE - Go to Microsoft and download all latest drivers/patches
