Memory Low

Have you made any changes to the default memory management settings? (System Properties)
Make sure Windows is managing the virtual memory on the PC.

What type of memory messages do you receive?
Another tip:
Do a virus scan and disk scan to see if there's anything else interfering.

In addition to ther virsu scan, down Spybot from http://security.kolla.de/ You may have some spyware on your system. It's installed with programs like kazaa, Limewire, Morpheus, and other shareware / adware

Did you upgrade to IE6?

I have seen several W98 systems where installing IE 6 triggered a memory leak.

Unfortunately, once a leak starts, the best way to fix it, is to format the hard drive and start over.

You can try using one of the memory managers such as Ram Booster, or mem turbo to help. But, these are just stop-gap measures until you have time to fix the problem.

Do not format the hard drive or reinstall software.
To find memory leaks run Cacheman.
(Available as a free download from cnet.com , the Parent of TechRepublic. Search for Cacheman, as I remember, it is from OuterTech.)
Run the memory monitor, and watch memory usage.

Also, with only 128Meg, make sure you limit the disk cache to no more than 1Meg min and 4Meg max.

The best answer to memory leakage is to get a memory management program like MemTurbo and set it running in the background with an option to 'clean' the memory when it gets below 20 MB RAM available. This should greatly reduce the lock ups.

I have done this on a number of systems and it usually eliminates the lock ups by cleaning and returning the RAM in the 'leakage' area before it can get to the lock up stage.

Hi,
The memory low error message or dangerously low
error message can be displayed with windows 98
if you are running more than 512 MB of system
memory. Or there may be a problem with the ram
memory stick you are running in the machine at
this time, Or you may be running programs that
you don`t need running that require large amounts
of memory. Also What are your system resources.
Try a different main memory module or adding some
memory.Also quit some applications that you have
running if there is alot of resources being used.
Hope I was of some help to you. Regards, Gil
