sorry as had gone to bed shortly after sending my request - I didn't have a
screen saver on as thought about that also so have no idea what was running
in the background. I've had that suggestion before - i.e. run defrag in safe
mode - but I don't know how to get there - the only choice I have is DOS and
in there it tells me it can't do it because it needs Windows - I have
learned a lot since my first computer but have SO much more to learn :-(
Remember I'm using 98SE. Would appreciate instructions of how to go into
safe mode. Thanks for the url - I've got it bookmarked as would continue to
be an excellent source if I added any other programs. Dolores

After eliminating everything except Systray/Explorer to get defrag
going, the screen saver still may have caused restarts, and the easiest
way to get around all these things is restart pc and run defrag in Safe
Mode.
Going through your entire list of apps running at startup is best by
looking at this excellent webpage:
