I just updated from Windows 98 to Windows 98 SE.  I specifically did it in order to be able to buy downloadable music online.  Some of the sites require Media Player series 9, which requires at least 98 SE.  I downloaded the version for use with Windows 98 SE.  When I try to ...

Whenever I try to restart/shutdown the desktop icons disappear, the

Since my recent move, my Samtron monitor has decided to go pink on me every
now and then.  Not red, just a deep pink, for no apparent reason.  The first
time, I wiggled it a bit. The monitor, that is. It came back. It acted up
