Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Performance / January 2004Need help with my resources
My resources have been really low and causing my internet to be really slow. I've done major clean out of my computer and even kept the bare minimum in the start up. I've installed more RAM but the resources are still low. What else can I do to improve my performance? Where else can I look to delete stuff that I don't need? >Where else can I look to delete stuff that I don't need? first of all we need ur comp configuration and the progs ur using ... cinc...

It is one of the "beasts" that does not seem to release if you go to check out items on Firewall and then exit. Now I know what the deal is I'm not so worried. Well done!

I see that my processor usage (system monitor)sometimes locks up at 100% and then the Internet gets so slow it is almost useless. At times it locks up completely & I have to shut down and start up again. When I do that I get into the 2-10% usage range again & I'm fine for a while. I hope someone out the can help us!! Dear Stephanie. I have the exact same problem, and am looking for the same answers. However, I'm responding to ask, where do the responses appear??? I see all the "email" posts to this silly forum, but see no answers/responses. I don't understand how this forum works, I guess. Can you email me and clue me in? Thanks, Art Just realized, I didn't provide my email address so you could answer me. Sorry. It's 1deciple@gte.net Use Resource Meter to check System Resources to see whether you are running low on User Resources or GDI Resources. To run Resource Meter go to Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Resource Meter. If it is not there install by selecting Start, Settings, Control Panel, Add / Remove Programs, Windows Set Up, double click System Tools and place a check before Resource Meter and click OK. Solutions to tackle low System Resources break down as follows: 1. Too many 32 bit programmes loading at Startup. From within programmes change them if appropriate to be available on demand and not running in background. Close programmes after use. http://www.3feetunder.com/krick/startlist.htm 2. 16 bit and dos programmes not releasing resources whilst there is a single remaining 16 bit programme running in background. Solution shutdown and restart computer. 3. Resource hogging programmes such as PhotoShop, IE, WMP/RP and others. Don't leave windows etc open after you have moved on. Minimise other programmes in use whilst running these programmes. Try switching off from within the programmes themselves and not using the facility offered by msconfig. It's better for your system. http://aumha.org/a/resource.htm ~~~~~~ Hope this helps.
