System Freezes When Mouse Moves Over Some Buttons
I have just installed Win98SE onto a PC. Soon after this, I start
experiencing system-freeze when I move the mouse over some buttons. And I cannot Ctrl-Alt-Del to get out from the situation. I have to hit Reset button to reboot the PC. This problem seems to have something to do with moving the mouse over the following buttons: - The Start button in the task-bar. - Those three buttons in the upper right corner of each window (Minimum, Maximum, Close). So far, I don't have this problem when I move the mouse over other items on the screen. This problem doesn't always occur when I move the mouse over those buttons. But the chance is good that I will freeze the system if I try. I don't have this problem when I was using Win95 on the same PC. I have checked Device Manager and I don't see any warning or error highlighted in any device. I live with this problem for now by using keystroke whenever I am supposed to click at the Start button or when I need to close the window. But I surely want to fix this. Thanks in advance for any info. Jay Chan |

I have fixed this problem by re-installing the video driver. The previously installed video driver was exactly the same version as the one that I have newly installed. Somehow, re-installing the video driver fixes the problem. I found the solution by searching this newsgroup. Jay Chan |
