Opera, the alternative?

[Ron]

For the last 5 monthes we have been getting this
message requiring rebooting. We have tried everything
from reload Windows 98 SE to treaking IE. Are last,
attempt is this request before we drop IE completely
and switch to OPERA or what have you. We are also
concerning LINUX as an operating system.

We have almost kissed off this computer since wqe have been
unable to resolve the problem or problems.

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never did like 98 SE, maybe upgrading to XP will help your kernel problems.
When I was using 98 SE, I had nothing but problems, crashes, and kernel32
errors. I went to ME which was a little better, but soon went to XP. I
haven't had a single error or problem **knock on wood** yet. I think the key
practice is to allow the automatic update to do its thing to keep the OS
up-to-date and less bug free.

treaking = ?

You probably need new video drivers. Check the site for your video board
manufacturer. Meanwhile you can do the following:
1. Use the default mouse pointers.
2. Turn down your color depth. (Right click the desktop and choose
Properties | Appearance | Settings) Some people find that increasing color
depth helps.
3. Turn down your graphics hardware acceleration. (For Win 98, Start |
Settings | Control Panel | System | Performance | Graphics button) You will
see little, if any, performance degradation.
4. Turn off your desktop wallpaper.

If these make the problem go away you need new video drivers.

If you have an ATI video board, try adding these lines to System.ini

DevBMP=0 <--- That's a zero

Another possibility:

Get and run these programs (if you test after each one you can stop when
the problem is gone):
Ad-Aware:

and
Spybot - Search & Destroy -

If the problem is a pop-up window, your computer may have been hijacked.
