Best bet is:

1) back up any data, 2) format and reinstall, 3) apply all patches, 4) reconfigure and reinstall any necessary 3rd party stuff.

That is bound to be the safest and fastest method of fixing it.

Alternatively, 1) back up any data, 2) backoff any recent changes. 3) This may work, but probably won't. 4) This is of course the fastest way of attempting to fix, refer to rule #3.

My darling bride just updates her 'doze 98 box and TOTALLY fubared it. It locks up 3 times a day instead of the usual twice a week and she is not able to connect to a secure website she uses to VPN into the work LAN.

Any ideas on what needs to be done to fix it. It has been several years since I lowered myself to tinker with a 'doze box that I sort of forget the drill.

This week Bill Gates announced that he would like to see the limits removed on H1-B visas.

Isn't it good enough that he can afford to BUY India without having to bring it here for storage???

No, he's just trying to put the rest of the US IT industry out of work, in order to kill off all software competition in the US. Resistance is futile. ;')
