Re-booted with edits done.
Thanks for your well worded response on how things work.
ShawCable ISP has fixed things for internet packet losses.
SwapFile is fixed size on logical partition D: with TEMP, Temporary Internet
Files, Netscape Cache, JAVAcache, Real (player). Partition is too small at
2.GB located adjacent to boot drive C:
After re-installing WinME, only optimizer was UBD Tweaks 2.6 which as I
mentioned before installs for "128KB and under" rather than 512KB RAM.
Shouldn't excerpts be posted to Windows general ?
MSconfig has been reset to normal,
but Netscape 7.2 now still cannot keep up with this newsgroups section
loading.
After English>United States must re-load page manually.
Same thing on sub-section Windows>Windows9X.
All JAVA has been removed and re-installed.
QuickTime plug-in removed as it slows everything down.
P.S.
Always thought that my keyboard problems were related to HP drivers.
Still have a hardware device failure which I will post separately if HP
business forum fails to satisfy me next week.

Hmm - not sure about fixed-size swapfiles - I don't like 'em much unless
they're fixed at 2GB.
How big is drive C:?
There's really not a lot of point in locating the swapfile on a second
partition of the primary HD - it may actually slow the system down in
certain circumstances, as the head has further to travel
This has me confused!

The MS website is optimised for IE - and until recently a lot of it refused
to load in Netscape at all, so it's more likely a problem with the MS coding
than your Netscape<g>

Fixed size is the only way, that I am aware of, to get it to D: from default
C:
Don't have a copy facility other than Windows OS to perform task.
It came up as a means of reducing swapfile defragmentation, stable at 3
fragments.
My processor is Celeron 733Mhz

C: drive holds all 'Program Files' as some only work where OS is located.
Size varies. Since I am still working on re-install of WinME, currently size
is 5.GB half used.
New programs use it up pretty fast until their caches can be moved to
DATA:E or TEMPS:D such as Outlook Express, Netscape, RealPlayer. Have not
found WMP caches yet.

Read about using this on a newsgroup about a year and a half ago. There is a
little increase in performance.
When TEMP etc moved there, re-installation of OS is made easier.
Track zero error shows up every 6 months or so. Repair shop has tested
drive for several days using their own WinME OS too. Don't have confidence
that their OS will work any better than my OEM CDs.
