Hi there folks,
Here is one that has me stumped -
A friend of mine recently - 2 weeks ago purchased a new comp - details about
the comp forthcoming. Thing is the comp is running nearly all the time at
90% and above used resources and is very unstable. I have checked and
rechecked to see what is loading during booting but asides from the normal
Win 98 stuff - nothing - even the Compaq technician that came round couldn't
figure it out!!!!
Computer details -
Pentium III 600
512 cache memory
Compaq EY (Intel CPU )
128 MB memory
Disk : 13 Giga
win 98 second edition Hebrew enable
works in local network
TIA
TTFN - Vic

going to a garage makes you a mechanic.
