I know this is going to sound simplistic, but switching to Windows 2000 will
make a world of difference. Many programs that crashed routinely under WIN98 are
no longer doing so under WIN2K. Almost everyone I've talked to has had similar
experiences. I'm in the process of migrating everything to WIN2K and getting rid
of WIN98 completely from my PCs.
