  System resources on 95/98/ME suffer from two main problems that are fixed
in NT/2K/XP:

1.  The system resource pools are of fixed size; adding more memory doesn't
help.

2.  There is a single set of resource pools which is shared by all
applications.  It is relatively easy for an application to request a
resource, using up space in a pool, and terminate without ever de-allocating
it; that pool space is unavailable to other applications until the next
reboot.

  Every window -- and many display elements such as buttons and text boxes
are actually tiny windows -- uses resource space.  Every font that is used,
each different cursor and icon, etc, etc.  Bigger and richer applications
use more resources.

  Machine capacities and the demands of modern applications are pushing to
the point where I do not recommend installing 98SE on new machines.  If you
are running the latest versions of many applications (so bugs should have
been fixed...), and you're running out of resources, it may be time to
consider the move to XP.

(Unchecking PhotoLoaderSupervisory and then rebooting doesn't remove that program from the Task Bar, but will remove EnsoniqMixer and QuickTimeTask).
