One of my users was quickly depleting his System Resources to the point where he had to reboot his Win98SE system more than once a day.

His computer had 128mb and I installed another 128mb which the system recognized. Yet, after running a few hours, his resouces were down to 72%.

There seemed to be no improvement when comparing before and after the memory install.

I had previously installed Cacheman which now recognized the 256mb.

Does additional memory beyond 128mb help the System Resources? Is there a white paper which explains System Resource and RAM management?

Thanks;

Stan

Evidently, he has a lot of apps running in the background that he really doesn't need. Click 'start' 'run' and type in 'msconfig' hit enter. On 'startup' tab, everything that is checked there loads and runs in the background on startup. Most of these are not needed, resulting in "drain of resources". Uncheck some that are not needed. If you uncheck something you are not supposed to, just go back and recheck it. System needs at the very least 'scan registry' and 'system tray'. let us know how itturns out.
