START BUTTON RELOCATES & DIES
I added a new HD making it Master on my Pent III PC and
the old HD slave. I installed Windows 98, the same as the other HD, PROBLEM: After the PC has been on for about 20 minutes the START button jumps from it's usual position on the lower left corner to the top left corner and is ineffective (dead!) as is the bottom TaskBar and all it's icons. I can't even turn the PC off without hitting the main power switch. I installed AVG Anti-Virus prgm. to check for viruses, but it reported the system "clean". Would re-installing W98 fix it? Any ideas welcome. Thank You. Bill Bailey |

START BUTTON RELOCATES & DIES
Do you have the right video display adapter driver installed? W98 very
seldom will install the correct video driver so if you did not update it after the W98 installation, that might be the problem, -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP for W98 Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo "B.
