Consider up-grade to Windows 2000. W2K is much more stable than Win98SE. I upgraded from Win98SE to W2K for almost two years now and it is so far so sweeeet! :)

Personally, I think Win98/95 are hopeless OS. :(

Cheers

79750 2002-09-15 12:02:00 After reinstalling/upgrading Windows did you apply the motherboard drivers? It's quite important to do this otherwise you will get odd behaviour. Rod J (451)
79751 2002-09-15 12:07:00 I assume it was done as the last reinstall was completed over 6 months ago and it has only been in the last two weeks I have had problems charmed (1903)
79752 2002-09-15 17:32:00 As I understand it, you have an application conflict with Eudora and IE.
Windows (even 2000) has built in depreciation so that users tend to have spend more money on new machines and upgrades as they are supposed to do.
You can avoid all this by doing a right royal cleanout of the registry. The best program I know of to do this is "Mijinex FIx It" which provides for a registry cleaner where you can observe which changes to the registry are about to be made before you do them, whether the changes are safe to make without further inspection, and if not where to link those changes to.
It also provides a unique registry defrag which I always do after I have done a disk degrag which would be a good idea in your case as well.
All of the above can undo the damage done when installing and uninstalling things without first turning of virus scanners, and associated background performances including even Fix-It's very own "Crash Proof" facility. Further info can be found on www.ontrack.com
