re: I HAVE HAD ENOUUGH!!!!!
HDD is peachy keen Ok fine, by several tests, including the online one Dan posted a few weeks ago.
It's the OS, it just has to fuss with some of my apps, Why I have no idea. I've triple checked all my hardware, from the power supply to the MOBO, all good.
And 98SE was not the worst OS ever sold to the public, 95 was. Though neither one was very good, only reason I put up with Microsuks code scrambles is everyone else uses it.
