My hard-drive 'died' about 5 months ago and I replaced it with a new one. I
then restored everything from the QuickRestore CD and I still have the same
problem.
I thought that the Compaq images or my programs were to blame, but I then
saw another (Toshiba) laptop with Windows 98 which had similar symptoms. I
still have no idea what changes when entering Safe Mode. It somehow fixes
it.
