Suspending and Resuming Problems

If the computer takes a long time to resume after being suspended
In Windows 98 and Windows ME, the computer can take a minute or longer to
resume when a network card is installed. While the operating system is loading
drivers and checking hardware and network connections, you will see a blinking
cursor on your display. As soon as the hardware has been re-initialized, the Windows
desktop will appear.
