You need to check for a virus.Either that or it's a hardware failure.Better do a backup.

Don't know how to backup..burn cd, make links, start files..etc.. a real comp dummy...:-?

Empty all your temp files. Get rid of any of those stupid effing Yahoo and Google toolbars if you have any.
Do a defrag.
Run an up to date anti-spyware app such as

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html

Don't go to spybot.com or any other site than the one above. There are many bogus sites selling spyware pretending to be a Spybot site.

What sort of anti-virus software are you using? Norton, McAfee and some others can sometimes slow your system and cause locks and hangs.

Re-installing your browser can sometimes help (if you're using Opera, Chrome or Firefox...).

OR, if it happens on big threads with lots of images and YouTube links, you may have a memory problem. Possibly some dicky RAM that gets accessed while loading all those images or something...

I downloaded a free Avast anti V..it found trojan (1) and adware (3) and puts them in chest.. I have 82% free memory... haven't got the $$ to buy spy/virus stuff...If I could I'd get a better and bigger comp..
my win 98, 667mhz is an old boot box... As for remove/reinstall I went through that grabbing all windows updates and overloaded my systems and had to spend 24+ hours removing shit.. I do the maint. at night..defrag too.. I do have google and yahoo tool bars but use them for mail and quick google access..

Thanks my friends for your input..alway appreciated....truly....kiss-ass

My last computer was a Mac G4 Powerbook, got it in 2001, worked until 2004... Cost me 4 grand when it was new, computers are so much better, and so much cheaper now-a-days.

Spybot S & D is free Twisty. Going by the sounds of those specs, you'll have ahard time with Youtube and most graphics/video intensive sites. Wish I was in a position to help with a better 'puter. S'no fun when they start getting cantankerous in their old age.:-(

Civ IV is great, make sure to get both the expansions, fixes some problems and new game features are awesome :D
I can spend days just getting stoned and playing a campaign.
