Low Resources

Check/changed the size of the virtual memory.
Run "defrag". Change the "Typical role of this machine" to "Network Server".
Good luck

Are you low on resources when you start up? Use MSCONFIG to check what is loaded on startup. Another thing to check is your temp folder, make sure it is empty. Do you have freespace on the harddrive? Did you check the swap file?
Also, if the programs you are running are not giving back the resources, you might want to use a 3rd party app like VCACHE or RAM BOOSTER
Hope some of this helps.

There are scores of things to check. Refer to these articles on increasing Windows 98 resources. (REMOVE SPACES if they snuck into the pasted URLs.)

Start --> Run --> msconfig

Choose selective startup and then click on the last tab.

Notice all the programs that are running in windows memory when you load your computer. Nobody uses 100% of all those programs when they first start their computer, and many of the programs will work notmally when they are disabled from the startup tab. The only two that are required for windows to operate are systray and explore. Everything else can be unchecked. Test and you can recheck those things that do not work when unchecked.
