Check for viruses and ensure that you are not running out of Hard Disk space. Also worth doing is to clean the registry with one of the 3rd party reg cleaners, such as Norton's WinDoctor.

Check for a heat problem (CPU, Power Supply), check for swap file settings, re-install Windows.

The simplest way in 98 is to go to Start===>Run and type msconfig Go to the startup tab and uncheck EVERYTHING....don't worry, you can add them all back in later.

If it clear it up, add one item back in at a time, reboot and see if the problem returns.
Keep repeating this until you track down the problem...this can be slow, but it works!
