I think the operating system here is the issue. because I noticed little difference from when I had 64 vs. 384 MB of ram if I only had jaws and the Internet running or Jaws and Nortin Running. I'd see how much free hard Drive space you have that might be limited and that causes problems because if there's not enough ram for what you're doing, it uses space there like it's memory. I don't know if this applies, but does Win98SE have the drive converter to go from fat to fat32? If so and your file system is fat, convert to fat32. Read the docs before doing this. I don't thing you need to re-format first that seems a little drastic to me. Someone I know improved there performance by doing this. If you do and It doesn't work, you can't convert back to fat. To find out if you're using fat VS. fat32, go to my computer have your hard drive highlited, then go to properties. Go to the general tab and do an insert B to read the dialog. It will say the file system as well as free space and a bunch of other things. To see what other process are in the background, go to programs->accessories->tools->system information and use your down arros in the treeview. when you open an item, hit F6 to read the items under that treeView. I'd also get the twiqui utility, I can't really spell that word, but it should be in the reskit folder of the win98 CD. Once that's installed there a few things you can do which might help performance. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Walter Siren" <wsiren@xxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, April 22, 2004 11:47 AM Subject: Re: Response very slow > I had 128 of ram, and was told the same thing.
