My Win98 SE system has been having a problem lately -- whenever I try to kill a task in Task Manager, the system locks up. It's stable in everyday use, and if an application coughs and dies normally (i.e. pops up an error box and quits), that too is fine. The only time lockups occur is when a task is in the "Not Responding" status, at which point I select "End Task" and have to reboot.

This is largely a result of my attempting to get Morrowind to work properly. I had installed new VIA 4-in-1 drivers (successful) and Detonator video drivers (successful), and attempted to install new SB Live! Value drivers (crash, reboot). This largely solved the Morrowind problems, but caused the other, and I'm not sure where to start in fixing things or what specific files may be corrupted.
