Athlon 1Ghz processor 256 Ram

I know my PC is old now around 8 years old to be exact, but it has started to move onto the next step of something before I have had the chance to click on the OK button.

Same goes for when I click back or forward on a web page, it often moves back 2 pages instead of the one, other transactions act like this too, and it can be very off putting.

And say I click on one of the single smilies, instead of creating one, it creates 2, I have to admit that this is intermittent, but is happening more and more now. I have just noticed however that it appears to create 2 if you click on a smilie which is next to a full stop for some reason or another

I have an optical wired USB mouse, and please don't laugh, but still use the dear old un-supported Windows 98 S.E.

This is one of the reasons that I will be getting a new PC in the fullness of time, but curious as to what may be causing the problem I refer to above.

Windows 98 se bloody hell lol clean it up disk clean up defrag. http://www.ccleaner.com/ still works with win98 apparently so give that a run but leave the reg bit alone

Blimey, I was just clearing out some stuff for the skip before and found an old Gigabyte GA7 motherboard with a Slot A (yes slot not socket) Athlon thunderbird on it and a couple of 256MB sticks... now if you weren't getting a new machine you'd have been welcome to the memory

Ay up owd cocker, now there's nowt wrong with having an Athlon Processor, I say this because I'm still using my 1.3 GHz Palomino (running Windows 2000) to this day.

It could well be that your processor could be overheating causing the said problem. Check your heatsink and make sure that the compound hasn't set like a lump of concrete (rendering it useless) and have a butcher's at your fan to see if there isn't an inch of dust on top of it, Also double check the seating of the processor and other devices on the motherboard - heat induced chip creep can be a real bitch.

Ditch your win 98 though - even nostalgia has it's limits! PSsst got a nice copy of Windows 3.11 for Workgroups if you're interested

Have you tried a new mouse? Mice buttons often get in a random double click state when they are worn.

I would agree, Try a new mouse out because I recently had the same problems with my mouse.

I tried a new mouse, but I could not get a driver for it, even though it said it supported 98.
