Background programs slowing performance by
I want to prevent as many background programs as possible
from running every time I start my computer (Windows 98,
cable modem, ample, I think, ram). How can I find out
what all the programs listed in the Task Manager are and
whether or not I can remove them?

Win 98 SE I get a message that the backweb is not working.
This happens at startup and I just click ok and things
keep working anyway. Can this be reinstalled?

Black icons for files by
edith
All my files have lost the color for the icon. The icons
are there but they all are black. When I click on "Large
Icons" the color returns. However when I change to "small
icons "they return to black. Anyone have any idea why
this is happening? I have not changed or added anything.
