After the w98se system is logged on, if you open the network neighborhood you can see all of the users along with the server. As soon as you click on a user icon or to explore the network it stops responding?
The 1st prog bot responding is: mpr.exe
Then after that is ended: Network Neighborhood is not responding
Then explorer stops responding.

Not to mention I just did a complete re-install of the system.
Any help would be great

This behavior can occur for any of the following reasons:

Your password list (.pwl) file is damaged.

A service or program that loads during the startup process conflicts with another service or program.

You are using user profiles.

There is a hardware conflict on your computer.

A hardware driver on your computer is missing or damaged.

If profiles are enabled, Windows may not be able to contact the primary domain controller's Netlogon share when looking for a Config.pol file. (Windows checks for a Config.pol file even if policies are not used.)

Your primary domain controller (PDC) is not local to your Windows 95/Windows 98 clients.

A single user profile is corrupted.

Your network adapter is not correctly seated.

You are using a reserved word for your user name.

See the following link for the appropriate resolution:

Good luck,
