I have absolutely no idea what my computer is up to now.
This morning, after a brief crash (of which I generally have a lot) my computer stopped showing any kind of images. Not only on the net, but even in 'my documents' it doesn't preview the images with thumbnails anymore. This has never happened before.
Also none of the icons used for hyperlinks are visible, so I had to find the link for posting this message by brail - hovering my cursor over all the white bits until I found what I was looking for.
I've run an exhaustive scan disk - nothing. I cleaned the disk. No better. I tried running a de-frag, and after NINE hours it was still not done and kept going back to the beginning.
Suicide beckons once again.
I do have a virus program, a Mcaffee, but it never seems to do a great deal.
My computer is an IBM 365, about 4 years old. OS Win 98.
It is probably just me being fantastically dense, but I don't know what to do next, and it's hard to locate things within the computer as my windows is in Portuguese (I live there, but am English).
HELP!!!!! And please, talk to me in computer baby terms.
Thankyou.
