    Two problems, may or may not be related... Bad ram? *EDIT* FIXED!!!

    Have you checked your hard drive for errors? I'd go for the full Scandisk check that looks for bad sectors. Then, I'd delete your swapfile.. You are running Win98 or ME, right? If so, boot into DOS mode by hitting F8 at startup and go into your c:\windows directory. There you should...

    What happens when you can't get through a class?

    Tutor's, study groups, and ... office hours. If the instructor knows you are having difficulties, but they also know you are working hard on trying to figure it out, they will grade you much less harshly. Good instructor relationships in any class gets you a half to a full grade up.
