Well, the general health of your computer comes to mind. Virus free? Malware free? Windows updates?

If you are running Win98 - you could be running out of resources or memory.
You don't say what else is loading when you start up.

ritaann stay as far away as you can from NSW, it causes more problems than it fixes. This is especially true with Windows ME, any Norton product and ME don't get along, there are certain dll files that conflict and cause crashes.

I think it's sysworks 2000 that is completely incompatible with ME. Sysworks used with 98 and ME have always been known to cause problems though.
