Win98SE always hangs suddenly without any error message.
Hi,
I just had a similar problem. The cause turned out to be a Java plugin conflict/corruption. I found 2 Java plugins in Control Panel, I disabled the older one and updated the newer one. IE now works fine although Netscape 7.1 is still a bit flaky. Good Luck, Gary glee wrote: Does this happen ONLY when online, or does it happen ONLY after a certain amount of time? Please provide more info: http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "mt" wrote in message ... Please help. Recently when running my Win98SE online, it hangs suddenly without any error message and I have to power down the PC. What is the problem? Any suggestion or solution to fix this problem is much appreciated. |

Win98SE always hangs suddenly without any error message.
Thank you for your help.
It happens NOT only when online. Sometimes it freezes 5- 10 minutes or 1-2 hours after running Windows98SE. My desktop is a HP Pavilion 8620 bought in 2000. I've tried to change the RAMs (2x128MB), but it still happens all the same.

Thank you for your timely information. I will check my
Java plugin which was downloaded not long ago. Best regards. mt -----Original Message----- Hi, I just had a similar problem. The cause turned out to be a Java plugin conflict/corruption.

Thank you.
I've checked my pc's Config.sys by running MSCONFIG. It's empty. It seems that this file is NOT used in win98SE.

Still may hang sometimes. device=C:\windows\himem.sys device=c:\windows\emm386.exe ON RAM Lastdrive=Z FILES=20 Buffers=20 . |

Check that the processor is not overheating, and that the fans and heatsinks are
clear of dust and dirt, along with everything else inside the computer case. Does it freeze if you boot into Safe Mode? -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm wrote in message ... Thank you for your help. It happens NOT only when online.

Win98SE always hangs suddenly without any error message.
Everything inside the pc case is clear of dust and dirt
and the pc side cover is uninstalled all the time. It freezes from time to time just as before. It also freezes in Safe Mode. It now seems OK after spending the whole afternoon to reinstall Win98SE through running C:\windows\options\cabs SETUP. 7 hours have passed, it does work fine till now. Thank you everyone of you who are kind enough to help me in solving this problem.
