How do I fix a frozen Windows 98?

Ah, a most vexing problem indeed, a frozen Windows 98. If I may say so, the first course of action is to press and hold the reset button on your computer for about five seconds. This should force a reboot, much like giving a stubborn gentleman a good nudge in the right direction. If that fails, you might consider holding down the Ctrl, Alt, and Delete keys simultaneously, this is often referred to as the "three-fingered salute" and may bring your system back to life. Should neither of these remedies work, I rather fancy it might be judicious to check for any problematic software or drivers that could be causing the freeze. A simple restart after closing unnecessary programs may also prove quite effective.
