MM: what particularly caught my eye is the 'high memory' category, and how empty it is. is it the same on your system? Yes...for instance...my DOS MEM program indicates that the "Total memory" is, roughly, 70% free...while the Windows System Monitor program indicates physical memory as 30% free...I have not figured it out... I thought we left Himem, XMS, extended mem, expanded mem, free/reserved and conventional mem behind when Win95 came along? I thought the swap file and the processor cache obviated those concerns... If we have not advanced beyond that old 640k conventional memory limitation...saying I'm disappointed would be an understatement! 640K ought to be enough for anybody.- Bill Gates 1981 I was also amazed to read the statement from your Symantec email bulletin: The Windows memory manager does not like free memory. Consequently, it will grow the VCACHE such that you will never have more than around 30 MB of unused RAM on your system at any time. Message 11689779 I have not tried the remedies that were suggested there...because I have yet to remove my head from my hands... I have 128k RAM and was considering adding another 128k for $400 until the tone of the thread basically led me to believe that it would be a waste...at least the $400 is still in my wallet... Regards, JCC Windows 98: n. 32 bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16 bit patch to an 8 bit operating system originally coded for a 4 bit microprocessor, written by a 2 bit company, that can't stand 1 bit of competition.
