Windows 98 O/S - I recently did a post conderning a slow computer & I wanted to add this, which may shed some light on the "slow" problem. Sometimes when navigating, the cursor will become "jerkey" and kind of out of control.

Hmmm... have you tried using Rain? It's meant to cool your processor, but it also speeds up your OS, since it frees up the processor.

According to Crucial www.crucial.com the system shipped with 32 megs of memory on it.
If that is the case, it will be slow! It takes PC133 memory with a max of 384 megs. Consider upgrading the memory to 256 megs for about 50 bucks That will help a great deal |

What version of Internet Explorer are you using? You need to have IE6 SP1 to have any functionality on the internet these days. After you have that make sure your java and flash are up to date.
