Hello all. I wonder if someone here can give me some guidance.
Over the last few weeks, my computer has been behaving badly. At first it was
just
a slight annoyance; now it's a major pain in the butt. When first starting the
computer, everything goes well. Then, when I attempt to do anything from the
desktop -- download e-mail, even move an icon from a subfolder to the desktop,
which is what I did first thing this morning -- the disk spins forever and
ever, the
system freezes up, and finally releases the system so I can continue.
This morning, the delay was the longest ever -- 50 minutes! The disk access
light
just flickered and burned, and no mouse movements or keystrokes did a darned
thing. After 50 minutes, the system finally freed up and I was able to
continue.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on? I thought maybe the disk drive was
dying, but this only happens once, just after I've started the PC. For the
rest of the
day, it behaves fine.
I'm running Win98.
Thanks!
