Hi All.... been awhile since here.. But thanks for all the info on other posts,, greatly appricated

got a new problem..
somehow in the last few months, started to get low system resources???
win98SE all upgrades
1/2 meg mem
C drive for software
D drive vitual mem(as much as neded)
AOL 9.0 security version
Mac personnel express

Can't seem to find anything that is using mem or resources??
run spybot search & destroy/registery mech and scan disk as well as disk compact atleast twice a week
is there somebody hiding out there in mem land, catching keyboard/screen inputs/displays..
any ideas.. ??

512MB, then?
You're aware of Win 98 bug, which will cause "low memory" error, if more than 512MB is installed?
