Win98 locks up upon browser scrollbard use
Hello.
Under Windows 98 (not SE), when the scrollbar is used on larger web pages, regardless of the browser used (i.e. IE or Netscape), the entire system will lock up and not even CTRL-ALT-DEL will help - power-down becomes necessary. Any ideas? Thanks! --Rob |

I tried searching through the MS support site, but must not have used the right combination of keywords. The problem is on my dad's computer, and I'm not sure what kind of video card he has. I will check it out. Thanks again! --Rob |

Even if it is a different video card in your dad's computer, updating the video
drivers may still help. Let us know what you find. -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP W95/98 Systems http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm wrote in message ... -----Original Message----- See if this applies to your machine - Computer May Stop Responding When Scrolling Through Web Page: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=175148 Glen, Thanks.
