I got a new PC. The HDD i format it & install a Win98SE. After finish the instllation, my PC always hang. The mouse cursor cannot move & i must press 'reset' button to go back to the windows. After back to the windows a few minutes my PC hang aagain. Can anyone help??? Thank's....

Try booting into safemode, RUN/ type sfc and replace any system files which come up. If this doesn't work try reinstalling 98se over itself by booting from os disc.

RacheC, I try your 1st & 2nd method already but still cannot solve my problem :( My new PC didn't install other software and programme, just install my OS and Microsoft Office XP only. They keep hanging every few minutes.

Is it my PC hardware problem such as processor, RAM, display card, drivers???

"I got a new PC." Is this actually NEW, or new to you? ie; Refurbished/used. "My new PC didn't install other software and programme, just install my OS and Microsoft Office XP only. They keep hanging every few minutes." Do you mean it ~wouldn't~ install, or, ~you didn't~ install other software and programs? I'm not familiar with XP Office, just Office 2000. IS the XP Office designed to run on a 98SE machine? "Is it my PC hardware problem such as processor, RAM, display card, drivers???" You stated 256MB of ram, what is the processor and video card/model? (Model meaning if it's on-board video.) If it is on-board, have you loaded the motherboard drivers for the video, chipsets, etc?

Dan Penny, My PC totally is a new one. That is a clone PC. I buy a new mainbord, new RAM (256 DDR Ram), new Processor (Pentium 4 2.4Ghz). All i built-up with myself. MY video is not a on-board video. Is a PCI video card (S3). After install Windows 98SE & loaded all drives (included chipset). I'm also install Microsoft Office XP Pro. It's work! I can use this office application into my machine. Just Install Win98Se & Office XP, don't know why my PC keep hanging :(
