Need help with System Hang problem
Posted by Kane on September 15th, 2003


I'm experiencing a problem where the system hangs soon
after returning from the screen saver or after the system
has been idle for a period of time. The mouse is always
still movable but I'm unable to click or activate any
programs or even ctl+alt+delete. In addition, the desktop
appears corrupted with several icons missing. A hard
reboot is the only way to recover.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Kane

Screen Saver Activation While Suspended May Result in the Computer to
Stop Responding
(258680) - When you try to resume your computer from Suspend mode or
Standby mode, your computer may stop responding (hang). This behavior
occurs only if your computer is configured for Advanced Configuration
and Power Interface (ACPI).

Password Protected Science Screen Saver May Cause Your Computer to Stop
Responding
(304984) - If you use the Science screen saver with password protection
and you move your mouse or touch the keyboard, your computer may stop
responding (hang) with hourglass mouse pointer. This problem occurs more
frequently on the Chinese version of Windows 98...
