Don,
I don't see how it could be memory.  I have 180+ RAM and all that was open
was Outlook Express and Windows Explorer.  I even keep my system tray as
clean as possible all the time.  All that's there is Zone Alarm and Norton.
I'm very conscious of resources, because I came from a 250 meg hard drive
with minimum RAM four years ago to this computer.
I have Win98.
