I have recently replaced my hard drive with a 40 gig, also replaced my cdrw drive and upgraded from 128 to 512 megs SDram.
Upon loading my Win 98 system files and all drivers for add ons I am having a lockup problem in each program when I try to go into file, my computer or c drive. It lasts anywhere from 1 to 1 1/2 min. and then the drop down window appears and I can save or open anything, if I immediately open another program the same thing happens. Although I had sector errors with my old drive I never had a lock up problem like this. I have a AMD 700 processor, win 98, Norton Antivirus (which I just did a live update and ran a complete virus scan, I had none). I have run scan disk and defrag and the problem still appears.
Thought I could do this myself and almost did, just have one minor problem. Any help would be appreciated.
