Strange Program...????
I have a pc with windows 98 - several programs have stopeed responding
properly (they will lock up) because of a rogue program that shows up in the program list if you press cntl - alt - del. This just started happening recently, there have been no new programs loaded (that I know of) on this workstation. The program causing the problem shows as "Scrsng" in the program list - if I force it down then the other programs that were locked will come back to life, and the problems are fixed until I log out and log back in again, then the Scrsng is reloaded and it starts all over again.,......... Does anyone have any idea what this program is?

No idea what it is, but try disabling it at Startup.
Check in Msconfig for any oddities. (Start-Run-MSCONFIG-Startup tab) If you cannot see anything in Msconfig then: Start-Run-msinfo32 Click the + beside Software Environment to expand. Click Startup Programs Ctrl+A to Select All, Ctrl+C to Copy. Paste that information in your message. ....Alan -- Alan Edwards, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/index.html In microsoft.public.win98.performance, "Pointman06" wrote: I have a pc with windows 98 - several programs have stopeed responding properly (they will lock up) because of a rogue program that shows up in the program list if you press cntl - alt - del.
