Hitting the ctrl+alt+del keys will bring up the task manager. It will list all running programs. If I remember right (2 to 4 years ago) Pagoo was useless to me and frequent crashes. But it's your choice.
win98 doesn't have task manager but you can disable Pagoo through msconfig. just perform the ff steps:
click on start
run
type msconfig
go to the startup tab
uncheck everything else except
ScanRegistry
TaskMonitor
SystemTray
LoadPowerProfile
Your antivirus program (trust me, you won't have a hard time figuring out which one is your antivirus program. It is pretty obvious.)
Since you need these startup items to be running all the time in order for your computer to work properly, make sure there is always a check mark next to all of these startup items.
If you don't see one or two these items in your list of startup items, that's cool. For example, some people may not have a LoadPowerProfile while others may have two. The big thing to remember is that you don't want to uncheck any of these files if you have them.
The rest of the startup items, however, are completely optional. Whether you leave these optional startup items on or turn them off is completely up to you. A good rule of thumb is to disable only those programs that you recognize and don't need to have running all the time. When in doubt, leave it on. Or, better still, check out Paul "PacMan" Collins' huge "Startup Applications" list at http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_pages/startup_full.htm
So the deal is that TaskMon is task manager in Win98se? There is no taskmgr.exe? Because thats what the tech told me to find and I did'nt have it. As for Pagoo, it's okay. Ive had some problems but this new wrinkle is a real pain. Whenever I want to play an incoming message on my desktop I get something like.."another audio program is in use, please close it". I have no other audio prog. running. I do have winamp and Win Media player but they aren't running. Anyway I guess this isn't the right forum for thius discussion is it? Where would I go for help on this issue..not Pagoo I can tell you.

Hi,
Yes, WIn98 has a task manager. The tech gave you the wrong name and some responders added to the confusion.
TASKMAN.EXE = Task Manager
TASKMON.EXE = Task Monitor (used by DEFRAG.EXE + SCANREGW.EXE)
CTRL-ALT-DELETE = Close Program dialog box
Hope that helps clear things up.

Thanks for the info on taskman..finally. Yup, guess you can get some well intentioned bad advice here as well as anywhere.
