The program freezes, but I can use other programs, like AIM or mIRC. Sometimes I can get away with closing the program (if it's IE). But if explorer or My computer freezes, I gotta reboot.
It's not a virus. I've run virus scans every four hours for the last week. Is it just Win98 degrading on me, or is it my HD going?
I've checked the hardware, and it seems to be in good shape.
Should there be anything specific that I should look for? Should I reformat? Should I upgrade to Win2K or ME or XP(in a few weeks)?
Should monkeys fly out of my butt? 
Info/insight would be appreciated. Thank you.

Of course, if you haven't formatted and reinstalled Windows 98 in a while, just doing that should make everything work fine again. I recommend upgrading to 2000 or XP just because they are superior OSs, but if you can't do that for some reason, formatting should be enough. [ 09-29-2001: Message edited by: adenine! ]
Windows dorks itself up over time, so most experts I've read recommend a clean install every 18 months or so.

I installed it under 3 months ago. So I'm puzzled.

I restarted under 3 months ago... *sigh*
