If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it so much. I have a Compaq Presario, running Windows 98. My modem recently quit, and I had it repaired at a shop. Upon return, the computer would not let me play any on-line games. A screen came up that said, "applet not found." I downloaded java, and now the games will load (slowly) but freeze up. I have to manually shut the tower off, and re-start the computer, because even the mouse freezes....it also makes a weird, "chattering" noise when frozen. The shop checked it out and said nothing was wrong, even re-booted it for me. Still having the same problem. It is driving me crazy. Can anyone help? Thank you.
