I hav just installed win98se on my HewlettPackard PC from scratch because the PC was unrelibale with the rubbish they put on it. But now when copying files from one location/folder to another it is now taking 3 times as long as b4 and now the mouse Intermitantly freezes for a couple of seconds then OK for 5 secs then freezes again while copying. while the mouse freezes also so does everything else on the screen and the HDD light is fixed on permantly rather than flickering.

it also does the same thing on file tranfer accross the network aswell.

the strangest thing about it is that if i install win98 first edition everything is OK, apart from a power management prob which is cured with winSE (thats y i wan't SE installed)

any1 got any ideas, i've kept it as short as poss so just ask if u need any more info.

Many thanx in advance for your help!
