I am running a 500mhz Pentium III under Win98. Last week I got the message: WINDOWS PROTECTION ERROR. IT IS NECESSARY TO RESTART YOUR COMPUTER. It happened for a day or so, sometimes three or four times in a row before I was able to select option 5, confirm each command. It was okay for a few days and now it is doing it again. Nothing has been changed or added in the meantime. I would appreciate any ideas on what could be causing this. Thanks in advance. Jeanette Finnegan Curious about the people moderating your messages?
