Your wrong Keith I'm a manly man. I thought you were offering suggestions for me to look at and try. I didn't realize you were instructing me to provide you with the data. There are many other programs that allow you to stop active tasks from running and also disable them at startup so there is really no need to get all superior cute. I know which stuff is running and what runs at startup. Like I said I have had this system running fine for 11 years. I have outdated virus scan programs and use freeware like spybot, winpatrol and Hijack this to manually keep an eye out for weirdness. Works for me. You don't need to instruct me about my computer housekeeping or lack of it. I really don't need your program all that badly.

Later Disabled every process that might cause issues. Same results. I failed to report that after the hang an error screen appeared with the following dialog... Critical Error has occurred Unknown exception, ccleaner V2.21.940 mswindows 98. 383mb ram, ATI xpert98D AGP2x That's all. Thanks for the effort. Reformatting at this stage is not an option. If I can supply any other pertinent info let me know.

Hi Keith, Thanks for responding. I have been using win 98, straight up no (se), looked into upgrading operating system but have managed to keep this system running for 11 years. (I know it's miraculous) reluctant at this time to invest in micro soft operating system upgrade that only could legally be installed once on this old and outdated hardware. You gave me an idea though with the processes. I have an updated version of spybot that now runs in the background. I'll try process of elimination and see if there is a conflict with another process. I'll report findings. Thanks again for your assistance.

Downloaded, installed and ran new version 2.21. Same results for my system running Windows 98; Program hung with half displayed GUI.

Program seemed to install fine. Hung with partial GUI displayed when trying to run program. Older version has run fine for years. Is 98 supported with this version?
