Another PC problem

I`ve just installed windows 98 which is giving me major gip. I`d been using 98 on a lap top with few problems, save for the usual odd glitch here and there, but all in all stable enough. Since installing it on my home comp I`m repeatedly having a problem when closing programs in that the folder tab remains on the bottom task bar. When I use ctrl-alt-del to try and close it completely, the screen goes to a blank desktop and sits there until I restart the damn thing - any ideas on fixing this. Surprisingly, when I visited the microsoft web site, it told me there were no new updates available for W98(?)

Enough RAM?

I think Microsoft support for Win 98 has ended or ending shortly.

Can you right-click on the tab or click it and press Alt+F4?

What happens if you ignore it and try to continue working with the tab there?

Save for this window, the screen is now blank - having tried to close using Ctrl-alt-del again. So the system isn`t ceasing up completetly(?)
The RAM, although I can`t give you a figure, should be fine as I have used 98 on it before - I`ve just installed a new hard drive.
