Oh, those dreaded words.......

Yes, you've heard from me before on this subject.  I wish I could fix
it.  I had 64M on a FIC 503+ MB, 7G HD (4G still free 3 of it on C:\),
Matrox G200 8M AGP,  AMD K6-2 300 MHz.

OS= Win 98 upgrade, clean install (long ago)
I run Netscape 4.6, also use it for mail
run quicken, excel, word, notepad, Norton AV

I also run Active Worlds 3D browser, Virtual Places form Excite and ICQ.

I was told 64M may not be enough, so I upgraded to 128M  (all Corsair
PC100).

I'm still having problems.  I thought it was due to Active Worlds or VP,
but I haven't run them in a while to try to figure this out.

I just rebooted, ran quicken, netscape (just to get mail) and left the
system on all night (monitor off).  Next day I copy a CD to the HD and
after that I can't open my next program because there isn't enough
memory!!!  I couldn't even get the Start button to bring up the close
screen.  This happens way too often.

Any suggestions??
Other diagnostic tricks/tips???

Thanks,
Rick Poepping
