About every 6 months Word 97 freezes on my Gateway
computer. I have up to the date virus protection. A
warning message appears "Your system is dangerously low on
resources" when apparently I have plenty of memory & disk
space. Deleting unnecessary files doesn'e help, nor does
defragmenting Drive-C. The only solution I've found thus
far is an extreme one--I have to unistall Windows 98 and
reinstall, and reload a fresh Word 97. Can anyone
enlighten me on this problem, and how I can prevent Word
97 from freezing regularly?
 
It is hard to say what causes this, though Windows 98 is not as good with
its housekeeping as later OSs. It would however save you a lot of time, if
having reinstalled your system, you created a disc image with Norton Ghost.
To make the best of this, you need your data on a separate disc or
partition.
