My PC is HP Pavilion 8490, Windows 98 first version.
Most of the time, my machine hangs upon logging on and the task list says Explorer (not responding). Then I get a blue screen saying the system is busy. Then I have to physically shut off the machine. When it comes up, it does a Scan Disk or hangs and comes up in Safe Mode. It has to be rebooted again and comes up fine. Why is this happening so often?
I get into Windows successfully and all my icons come up. Then
when I try to run anything, it just hangs. When I bring up the task list, it says “Explorer not responding” and I try to end the task which just sits there so I have to do a cool boot and shut off the power. When I bring it back up, it either puts me into SAFE mode or runs Scan disk or just sits at the WINDOWS screen doing nothing until I do another cool boot. Eventually, it does come up successfully, but it as annoying to have to go thru this over 50% of the time.Please help!
Thanks a lot,
Abel Nguyen
