Explorer Locking Up With PPRUNE

[pipster1]

Wonder if anyone who knows more about pc's than I can help?.

When using PPRUNE, reading forums mainly, my pc locks up with the message;

'VSSTAT caused an invalid page fault in module vsstat.exe at 015f:00404dde'

I have no problems surfing at other times, it only ever happens (after 10 mins approx) when on PPRUNE.

I use Win98 and Explorer5.

Hope someone can help as its driving me mad!!

Thanks
