I have had this exact problem on one particular MB( a cyrix GX).  I had
Win98 installed and upgraded to IE 5.0.  Uninstalled IE 5.0 and it started
working normally.  I tried a clean install of Win98 SE (contains IE 5.0)at a
later date, with the same lockups resulting. Recently I did a clean install
of Win ME (IE 5.5) and finally had the problem resolved.  If possible try
either downgrading to Windows98 or upgrading to ME.

HTH,

Hi,

I have an AMD K6 350 with 128 MB RAM, running two HDD's with one
partitioned with 98SE and NT on each respective partition. The other HDD
acts as
a swap file for the O/S that is active after booting. The problem is in Win
98, when I open the My Computer applet from the desktop it opens okay, but
if I
try and access anything in the window - it hangs. I have to get rid of it
using Task Manager, (Ctrl-Alt-Del). This impacts on everything as it causes
