Lock-up Problems and Win 98

I just received an email from Dell Tec-Support that indicated that my lock-up problems were due to my not shutting down Win 98 every 4-5 hours. They indicated that Win 98 was not designed to run all of the time! This is news to me. I have Win 98 on my Laptop and I leave it on 24-7 with no lock-ups.

Has anyone heard this before - is this true?

Any comments would be appreciated.

    I'd say you've been very very lucky with your lap top. It's usually not a problem leaving a system running 7/24 but you should reboot at least once a day to free up system resources, especially if you use a screen saver or any type of wallpaper. Just an opinion and others may disagree, I've just had better success with Win98 rebooting at least once a day. Win2000 you can leave run forever, that's not been my experience with 98.....
