I have Windows ME running on a couple of different machines both at home and at work. I've done all Windows Updates on all machines.

Here's the problem. I boot up my systems (64MB of RAM) and go to the System Information utility that came with Windows ME and it reports that 63MB of the memory is already used up and my 2GB Windows managed swap file is already 75MB used up. What can I do?

Run Msconfig at the run line and work with the startup programs to see if one of them is allocating memory. You should be able to determine whether it is a startup issue by removing then readding programs in the startup. Good luck

Nothing - welcome to Windows...the OS is a memory hog - my computer (192MB RAM) boots to all RAM used and 130MB of the swap file used. As long as the System Resources are OK (85% or higher) I wouldn't worry about it.
