regarding windows '98

How much memory do you have? Some graphics pull a lot of memory, especially when you go for the multimillion colors. Personnally, I think Win98 needs 128MB minimum to run smoothly.

In addition to adding memory, there are a few things that you can do to free up resources;

Look at your system tray, every ICON displayed there is using system resources.

Disable those that you don't use or need.

Then, clear out your C:\windows\temp
and C:\windows\temporary internet files folders

Download and run adaware from www.lavasoftusa.com

Run scandisk, and defrag your hard drive.

I get worried when I have less than 1GB of free hard drive space for the swap file to use.

You might check in your system.ini by running sysedit. Check your vcache and increase it to something similar to the following. This is if you have plenty of disk space available.

[vcache]
minfilecache=51200
maxfilecache=524288

You can install up to 512meg of memory with
windows 98. Some systems have a problem
with memory above that amount running
win98. Upgrade to windows 2000 or xp if your
system will handle it then the 512 problem
goes away and you can max outwith memory.
The applications you named are memory
hogs.
