Freezing Up Randomly
« on: February 08, 2005, 11:54:10 AM »
First, I'm SO glad you all are here. Thanks in advance.

Every 10 minutes or so my mouse and keyboard lock up. The whole systems freezes for about 2 minutes, then comes back to life. It makes absolutely no difference what program I'm working with - everything is fair game. I've run adware scans, registry fixers, spy doctors, cleaned and defragged. I've run out of ideas.
I'm on a Gateway 256, Win98. Any and all assistance is welcomed.

You never mentioned that you have Antivirus software... You DO, right? Also, did this JUST happen like a day ago? If so, then have you installed any new hardware/software during that time?

Sorry for the imcomplete info, Flame. I have not installed any new hardware recently, and have several virusscan programs /adware/etc installed. I've run them all. This freeze up problem has been going on for about 3 weeks, and seems to be getting worse.
Ideas? Hope???
Thanks -
Georgia

Georgia, how many programs start when you turn on your computer? Also, how much RAM do you have?
