I wonder if it would be a good idea to have a dedicated thread for puter problems. This just occurred to me because of Mike's problems (see Help). I'm thinking in terms of security issues since users of this site are obviously on-line (or they wouldn't be here, sheesh, talk about stating the obvious!).

Re: Computer running slow
Mick, are you sure about the Ctrl-Alt-Del bringing up Task Manager in Win 98SE? It didn't do it with mine, I just got a soft reboot. Have it now with XP though.
To be honest, I had an awful time with 98SE, entire puter lasted two years, then I gave up in disgust and bought a new one with XP on (also I needed extra speed for my Tomb Raider 5 game, but couldn't change the processor on the motherboard). Never looked back. Wouldn't go near 98SE with a soldering iron!
