OK, I confess I'm still using Win98se, and I have some minor stability

running in the background.

My condolances.  I used Win98 from 1998 to 2000 and it was was the worst
piece of crap I have ever used.  What a joke for an OS!  
You would be so much happier with Windows 2000 or a Mac.  I use both
and wouldn't want to be without either.
