Aptiva sluggishness I ran Netmedic for awhile. One of the functions is processor utilization. Processor (Pentium 90 or 100?)utilization was at 100 percent most of the time during periods of activity. With the extra RAM it did show a slight improvement but was still very high. It's hard to remember the details as I turned the machine into a family machine and do not use it except when the Compaq crashes. I do believe the modem plays a role. I blamed Worldnet for difficulties connecting to their system. Sometimes it would take a dozen + tries for the modems to connect. My Compaq connects first time almost every time to the same ISP. I ran Netmedic for a while on the Compaq (Pentium 200MMX). The CPU utilization meter was generally less than 50 percent. My latest theory on my last crash. The tower is adjacent to my swivel chair. I believe I may have nudged the tower causing a slight vibration as the tower moved a couple of inches over a wood floor. Could this cause a bad write to the registry during operations with a resultant freeze and loss of access to the hard disc? Zeuspaul
