Trouble with School Computers

Ok, these Dell Computers are giving us more trouble than the gateways.

2 Problems

Problem 1. On one of the computers, when you move any sort of icon, on the desktop, or in a folder, or any copying of an icon or folder, it locks solid. Any clue?

Problem 2.

When this computer tries to pull up the desktop, all we see is a black screen with the arrow and the hour glass together. It stayes like that and never changes. Any clue with this one?

Thanks.

    It might help if you listed the model and operating system…

    Even then if you are working in the wild without using W2K or XP Pro, anything can happen.

    They are running Windows 95, not sure what the models are. Something like 133MHz. I'll have to check on the model when I go back to work on them Monday morning.

    Maybe just the OS will help.

    Thanks. I want to get some of peoples opinions before I really start working on them. They don't even have the software to get everything back on it.
