Andy Kelly's system... He says, " I can read messages fine for about an hour or so and then everything slows down noticeable and my disk drive starts a near constant chattering. I have found (out of frustration) that if I shut down windows and then restart, every thing is ok again for another hour." Zeuspaul gave a good suggestion about the harddrive filling up with browser cache.... Another possibility, especially since this is old Win 3.1, is that Andy is running out of memory... especially if his browser is leaking memory a little. And, even though memory is cheap, adding more usually doesn't help Win 3.1 so much, because some critical data must fit in low memory, and that's often what runs out. It might not hurt to upgrade to Win 95, or to a newer version of whatever browser you are running. By the way, Andy, just so we can make more guesses, what browser to you use? But I don't think I'd recommend holding out for Win 98... unless you have some specific reason to want its features. It's likely to come out a little buggy, especially since they seem to be rushing to beat the DOJ! Dick
