"Start| Run| msconfig| Enter.  On
General, click Advanced and place a checkmark in Limit Memory Too.  Type in
496."

Good idea. I keep this and other Windows tools in a folder on my desktop.
Did not know there was a way to limit memory. I know 98 will not work with
more than 512 MB because of limitations in the System area of memory. This
area also handles many other tasks and may get overwhelmed with 512 if it is
loaded with other items. I reduced the available memory to 496. Will keep
this in mind.

Since you bring up the topic of memory, this may not be a contributing
problem
but I seem to remember that Win98SE sometimes has problems with memory of
512mb
and greater.  It can cause errors, hangs, BSOD, etc.  Does not happen w/ all
systems though.  I ran 512mb on mine w/o problems.  Supposedly limiting the
available memory to a value less than 512 will prevent those associated
problems.  (496mb sounds good to me.)   Start| Run| msconfig| Enter.  On
General, click Advanced and place a checkmark in Limit Memory Too.  Type in
496.

I'm not suggesting you do it nor am I claiming that it is true.
