Thanks for the tip, Ted (I am using Windows 98 not Second Edition; if you are going
to use a wet noodle on me, 'penne' is my favourite kind of pasta).
I turned off my screen saver and that seemed to do the trick. So thank you very much.
However, when I tried to shut down any of the other programs running as you suggested
(such as Norton antivirus and automatic Update - there are about 10 things running
and I'm not sure what all of them are) in each case my computer automatically turns
off, I have to reboot and start over (so I end up getting nowhere).
Now I am trying to run disk defragmenter and I find it is starting over all the time
(after about 2 or 3 percent checked). Seems to be the same type of problem.
Hank.
