38089 2002-03-06 05:48:00 our hp pav 6616 running windows 98SE has been playing up alot lately, we are frequently getting blue screens of doom (particually on shut down) and the other day when it started up it complained that regestry files were missing and rebuilt them. I have absolutely know idea what is going on (are we heading for a crash), I have virused scaned (although not with the latest dat files cause mcafee wont give me them anymore).

does anyone have any idea what could be going on?, would a defrag help?, Your thoughts please
