My computer is on a cable connection. I'm running Windows 98 with a Pentium II processor, 256 RAM. When I turn on the computer and check System Properties, System Resources usually shows 78 to 84 percent. Within 10 minutes I'm down to about 54 percent and I'll get a warning that my resources are too low and I should quit other applications. I'm not doing anything but e-mailing via AOL 9.0. Then I'll usually get the Blue Screen of Death. Before that happens, if I Ctl/Alt/Del, the Close Program window only shows AOL, Ex;lorer, Zone Alarm, Ccapp, Starter, and Systray. The startup tab on msconfig shows the following: Scan Registry, System Tray, ccApp, Symanticd NetDriver Monitor, Zone Labs client, Ensoniq Mixer, Quick Time Task, Script Blocking, ccEvtMgr, True Vector, AolAcsDaemon1. Once a week I also run SpyBot and Ad-Aware. Can someone please help and tell me what's going on with my computer and how I can fix it? Thanks.
