Computer Problem, ..help? :( Options

[Jen]

I am getting so frustrated with my computer! Here's the problem:

Everytime I try to open something, my computer freezes. Everytime I try to save something, my computer freezes. Like, for example. If I were to go and upload a picture on photobucket, when I go to 'browse' it will freeze. The only time my computer will not freeze is if I were to open a file that is located on my desktop.

I can't save files for school. I can't open files for school. I am getting pissed off. So if anyone has any idea of wtf is wrong, please please please let me know.

win 98 right, time for an upgrade... I would at least get 2k but xp is the latest.

go to microsoft.com and do an update scan, it will list all the things that need updating, then install them, (fo to: microsoft.com, then in the porduct resources click"windows updates" it will do it aoutomaticly"

Does your hard drive make clicking sounds, before/durring the freezing then its a bad hard drive and you need to act fast to save any files you need and get a new one.

It could be a ram problem but i doubt it, it would not freeze either, it would close all apps, and crash to desktop, with an err. saying bad memory.

Do you have the windows disk, if so put it in and restart the computer, then durring the start up, a message will show up saying something like "boot from cd..." press any key it will go to a blue screen, where you can do a emergency recover, that my help slve your problems, but one that is over, you gata update your crap all over, so i would do this first.

I need more info to help you out better,

right click on "my computer" and go to properties, then when it pops up, you can see your cpu, ram ex, that info might help.
