Hello Group;
System: P4, 20Gb HD (18Gb free), 256Mb RAM, Windows ME Edition (OEM).
Problem: frequent "our of resources", "low on resources" and "not enough
memory to run this program. Quit one or more applicationas and try again".
Resource meter confirms resource drain. We can run out of resources with
only a telnet (pine) and local netscape calendar running!
Running ME system restore did not help.
We got into msconfig and unchecked several items from Startup folder.
Progress, but not good enough: the machine is slowing down and still
running out of resources.
The items unchecked in Startup are: ctfmon.exe, MMTray, LoadPowerProfile,
TCASUTI.EXE, CreateCD5.0, AdaptecDirectCD, LoadPowerProfile, MOSearch,
MDM7.
The items still checked in the Startup:
ScanRegistry, TaskMonitor, PCHealth, SystemTray, Multimedia Keyboard,
SSDPSRV, StateMgr.
Questions:
1. Should we uncheck everything but SystemTray ?
2. Is it windows or hardware problem ?
3. Should we uinstall ME and get Win98SE instead ?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Irena. ([log in to unmask])
