computer freeze at desktop Thursday, December 27, 2007 at 4:20 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Mark (49 messages posted) When I start up the computer, it will make it to the desktop. Load all the icons, then the curser will sit there w/hourglass for about five seconds and then freeze. Ctrl-Alt-Del does nothing. I have to hit the reset button. If it helps, here are some specs: Via Technologies Inc. computer, Win98SE, Celeron 900MHz, 256mb ram, nVidia Vanta 64mb and an AOpen AX34-U Motherboard. I can, and have run anti-virus, (Anti-Vir) spybot, adaware, Ccleaner and the system cleaner in "Safe mode" Also I have NOT installed any new hardware in the last two-three years. The computer will freeze at the very same spot and tme EVERY time. Any help would be appreciated.
