Low User Resources -- A Fix

*OT* I am curious how many machines everyone here runs to trade. I have been having serious problems with low resources on my machine when trying to follow SI, run quote.com charts, Quote tracker, have my broker screen up and then try to paste a link or something. I am running an AMD 500 with 128 SDRAM and I crash soon as I either try to bring another screen up or paste a story. Any suggestions or do I just need to run 2-3 machines?

Re: Problems with System Resources

neufie,
with system resources running at 20%,you aren't running, you are crawling, I'm surprised programs aren't crashing right and left. Here's the quickest, easiest thing to do, (as per my friendly Dell Techie).
Go to Start > Run > then type in the word msconfig
Click OK
Make sure the "General" tab is selected.
Find the Selective Startup box and check it.
Find the Load Startup Group box and uncheck it.
Reboot as instructed.
This takes all the programs that Windows so optimistically thinks it can run all at once without clogging anything else up, and puts them back in the file system where of course they can be opened conventionally at will. This will give you probably another 60-75% resources. Windows and installing programs tends to pop things back into the startup program so check it occasionally.
Of course if you choose the Startup Tab in that same window, you can selectively choose the programs you want running in the backround by simply checking the boxes beside them.
Sorry so wordy, first time in group.
Good trading.
