I have 2 computers with exact same problem. Both computer are running Win98Se. Previously both computer were running error free on all applications. Suddenly most Windows applications will not load up. Some Windows features such system properties, or any feature under control panel will not load up. I scanned for Virus with Norton AntiVirus 2003 and it found no virus. I re-installed Win98Se and yet problem remained same. I do not want to re-format hard drive until I find no more solution to above problem.

What are the possible solutions to my problem?

I take for granted that all your antivirus/spyware/etc. detection software is properly configured and up to date (mine does it automatically; sometimes even twice or tree times a day).
You say that both computers have the problem. ?Did the both start behaving like this at the same time, like after installing a software package in both of them?.
I've seen that behavior in a PC with RAM problems, but not in two PCs and with the exact same symptoms.
When you try to load an utility from the contol panel, ?what does it do?, ?do you see the mouse pinter change to the sandwatch for a second or two?, if you go to the task manager (Alt+Control+Delete) ?do you see the application loaded there?
