Re: Have you checked your swap space?
Something to remember is that if Win9x says something about "Not Enough Memory" - it's not talking about RAM. It's talking about a few heaps of 64 kB of RAM that lives below the 640 kB boundary. Having 300 MB free won't help you if those bits of RAM are being gobbled up and not being freed. Some apps with lots of buttons and fancy do-dads are notorious for grabbing too much of those bits of memory. Run the utility that comes with Win9x that tells you about your "System Resources". You need to keep an eye on the User and Graphics (?) resources. If they get below about 20% free, you're going to have problems.
Okay, I only got a message from Windows ONCE, saying "Not enough resources". For the most part, I know the used up RAM is increasing because I see the number drop on the System Monitor, and now the Tweak Ram.
We can't seem to find a User & Graphics resource on the System Monitor stuff with Win98. Does it have some other name? There does not appear to be that utility on here.
Windows gets cranky if its swap file (win386.swp) gets fragmented or if the partition where it puts is swap file gets too full.
John checked the Swap File and we have 764 Maximum, and we're only using 105 at this moment of it. I'm running Eudora, Opera, Yahoo, two groups, and NHL in the slot with Media Player, (listening to the live Penguin game) and Messenger right now.
Have you checked to see how much disk space you have free on your system? Have you defragmented your hard disk recently?
John says we have not defragmented it lately, we'll do that also.
This won't solve your memory leaking problem, but it might make your system run better.
Also, make sure you clean out the \\windows\\temp directory of old temporary files.
We'll look at that too. Thanks. :)
