If you have your windows disc to hand, "reinstalling" over the top of
your existing install will often fix weird and wonderful problems without
losing any settings (in theory) - if you have one of the crap system
restore discs though - beware - they wipe the lot in many cases...

Have you tried using any registry cleaners on there to make sure there`s
no unused crap lying around that might be causing a problem ?

I`ve used easycleaner (free) for a couple of years without any problems
on the registry - i`m not sure how other functions it has might work.

I have had problems with my floppy drive for awhile. It would hang my
system if I used it drag-n-drop, but worked OK most of the time if I
used it in a DOS window. A few days ago, event that stopped working,
and accessing the drive to get a directory would hang the system.
Tried a number of things - deleting the device, re-installing the driver
(was unable to find any drivers on the 'Net,) - nothing helped.

I just came out to this website for the first time to ask about it, and
saw your message. Last night I reloaded Win98 over my old version, and
the drive works. Thanks! I didn't know it could do that, I thought I'd
have to scratch/install.

Thanks a lot!
