Computer problems

yumi_2

I start the computer, after all the messages from AVG, spysweeper, msn messenger, zone alarm appear, then a message "perform an illegal operation, system will be shut down", will be shown, when I close the box, it doesn't shut down but if I try to go to the internet, most of the times, I couldn't get to the websites. I have to reboot again, but this time, the message will be "system is not responding,....", I have to switch off the main switch. After I switch on, again the same message will appear, this will continue. If I am lucky, I get to connect to the website like now. This has been happening daily now for the last 2 weeks. I can't shut down properly most of the times. Please help!!! Thank you.

Have you tried booting in safe mode? if you can get that far try disabling the startup programmes 1 at a time, most recent first, until you find what is causing the problem. If this has only recently started to happen theres a good chance it may be a conficting programme

Sorry, how do you disable the start-up programme? Is it disinstalling them? Thanks!

Just try this first off, Within Messenger Options Untick the Option where
messenger starts up on windows startup.

Are you using XP?

Still window 98

Ok what the problem maybe is that a few things maybe starting up and making 98 trip over itself, I would remove any unwanted old programs from control panel add/remove programs. http://www.techadvice.com/w98/R/remove-programs_w98.htm

I would also try a scan disk then a defrag as that maysolve a few issues
I would definately do this first as it forms a basis for other troubleshooting.

It will take quite a while to defrag 98 as its FAT32, but you must Scandisk first
because if you do not a defrag will halt on any bad clusters.

Thanks, will try to remove the unwanted programmes.

Hello, have tried remove a few programmes, it was fine until this morning, when I started the PC, same message appeared again, when I checked on the details, it said,"zlclient caused an invalid page default in module FRAMWRK.DLL" . Please help again!!!!

zlclient is Zone Alarm, so I'd try uninstalling Zone Alarm and reinstalling it. There's a free download at http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/catalog/products/sku_list_za.jsp?dc=12bms&ctry=US&lang=en&lid=nav_za

Thanks, have uninstalled it, so far so good.
