SYMPTOMS

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if you are running a third-party program that conflicts
with Expedia Streets 98.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this issue, disable any third-party programs that are started from
the "Load=" or "Run=" line in the Win.ini file. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, and then click Run.

2. In the Open box, type "win.ini" (without the quotation marks), and then click
  OK.

3. Locate the "Load=" and "Run=" lines.

4. Type a semicolon (;) at the beginning of both lines.

  NOTE: If there are multiple "Load=" or "Run=" lines in the Win.ini file, make
  sure you type a semicolon at the beginning of all "Load=" and "Run=" lines.

5. On the File menu, click Save.

6. On the File menu, click Exit.

7. Restart the computer.

If the issue continues to occur, start Windows without loading any
terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) programs or device drivers (this is called a
clean boot). For additional information, please see the following article in the
