Phil, you need to repost your question to a different thread. It's not
polite to "piggyback" on a thread and by doing so you run the risk of your
question not getting any attention.

Post again - starting your own thread. Include some details about the
problem other than "it freezes." For instance, any recent changes on the
laptop (drivers, hardware or software)? Any other problems that have been
lurking around that may be contributing to the problem? Any particular
reason that you think you have a virus other than freezing?

General suggestion: Try starting the laptop plugged in - not on battery
power. If able to access Windows, check your hard drive space. The Compaq's
hard drive was probably pretty small since it started with Win98. If you're
lucky, this may be something as simple as "being out of space" and doing
some housekeeping.
