Hi Brad
I have windows 98SE and have problems with system resources. Since you claim
these other operating systems handle resources better than 98SE, do you
think upgrading to XP Home Edition would solve my problem?
I have been trying to trace where the problem is. I am thinking it is IE or
OE. I have version 6.0.
Any help you may have on this would be appreciated.
Thanks Sue

Hi Mark,
I know about Task Manager, He was just asking about something that would
show the % of resources like 98 does. I'll just direct him to Task Manager.
I usually just right click the taskbar to access it. Fast and easy.
