I am running Windows Me with 128mb of DRam, but my system resources are very low. Sometimes I am in the internet and it kicks me out, when I go check my resources i find out they are 50 or 60%.

Is there a way to prevent my system resources from being so low??

WinME is a resource hog! But this will help. Click on Start, click on Run, in the box type in msconfig click O.K. Next click on the Startup tab, in this window you'll see all the programs loading at startup. Uncheck any programs you don't need loaded at startup, these programs can still be run from the Start Menu. Click O.K. Restart your computer. When you see the box You Are Using Selective Startup, click Do Not Show This Again, click O.K. This will save you lots of resources!!!

P.S. Do not uncheck the following boxes!
ScanRegistry
TaskMonitor
PCHealth
SystemTray
LoadPowerProfile
LoadPowerProfile
SchedulingAgent
SSDPSRV
*StateMgr

"Or any of your AntiVirus Programs"

Hope This Helps!!! Chris A.

Just to let you know, I'm running WinME with 768mb of sdram, my user or GDI resources are always in the 35 to 50% range & system runs fine.
I think your disconnect is being caused by some other problem.

I had a memory leak in WinME when opening multiple browser windows, didn't matter whether it was IE or Netscape. After maybe half hour or so browsers would just stop working, though I did not lose my connection, and the only way to get them workingagain was to reboot. If this sounds similar, check Microsoft Technet and search for article Q278368, they have an updated file ATMUNI.SYS that seems to have resolved my issue. You will have to call 1-800-936-4900 to get the file
