Something like closing Notepad, MS Word and a dialog box that asks for confirmation 
for closing, saving etc.
The computer literally FREEZES and computer makes funny sounds for 5-10 seconds and 
everything including the mous e and keyboard is inaccessible.
Sounds like a funny problem that can't be fixed, and I'm not too worried, it's just 
an annoyance.
But lots of inquiries I've had have been fixed too :D
Thanks.

Sounds like win2k is having a hard time finding a command on the HD.
You may want to defrag the HD and run the hiidden scandisk in win2k.
MyComputer/right click on the C: icon select Prop./Tools/Check Error button/check 
both items.
win2k will need to reboot and dismount the HD to run the command.
When you get back into win2k run this command if you still have the same error.
Start/Run   sfc /purgecache   have your win2k cd on hand it may ask for it.
