On my Win98se PC, I use "System Monotor" and "Resource Meter" simultaneously. My 750mz P3 has 256megs of RAM. I monitor "Processor Usage%", "Unused Physical Memory", "Swapfile in Use" & "Swapfile Size" on the "System Monotor".
Problem: With about 6-7 applications and/or Web pages open, my Swapfile size was 140meg, Swapfile in Use was zero, Unused Phsical Memory was 110 meg and system resorces were below 10%. I tried to open another application and Received a message to close down an application prior to trying to open the new application.
Question: With all the RAM and Swapfile available, how come my resources are so low?
Better Question: Are there any tweaks to make more system resources available. In other words to make more of the (Physical or Virtual) RAM convert to system resources?
Sorry to sound blunt but I'm not surprised you run out of "system resources".
Ram & swapfile has nothing to do with system resources. Shutdown or turn off any monitor or meters and a couple of “other programmes” and you will free up some resources.
Upgrade to W2K or XP they do not “suffer” with that “bug”
I don't always monitor the resources and RAM. I only do it because of the "Running out of" problem. What was the sence of upgrading from 128meg to 256 if I still have 120 "Unused" that is Unusable"?
