I'm using Win98 on a Gateway 750mhz computer. A few minutes after my system
starts up my icons on the desktop start scattering all over the screen by themselves. If I'm able to click on one of the icons it will stop momemtarily. Also if I restart the computer it will work for a few minutes after the startup and then start scattering again. I reloaded Win98 as a solution to no avail. Any assistance would greatly be appreciated, Thanks!
