Reagrding System Resources:

I just installed 128Mg of RAM to total 192 now, up from 64.

Previously I was getting system resources warnings from Win98 after loading RealTick along with a large Excel files, a couple of browser windows, Quicken, et cetera.

I haven't gotten that warning since adding RAM, but Win 98's Resource Meter still gets quite low. In fact I don't notice any difference in that indicator despite the added RAM. Right now its at 37% System Resources, 37% User Resources and 47% GDI Resources.

When I load Outlook Express, I'm down to 31%, 31% and 43% and the level indicator is in the yellow (caution) area.

Norton System Information shows the full 192 Mg RAM and only about 1/3 in use.

Does anyone know what gives?

And thanks to all, particularly Sean who embarrassed me into looking harder. I've got subscriptions working great in IExplorer - it was one of those functions I didn't understand when I first got IE, and then I proceeded to totally ignore those menu options for the next two years to the point I couldn't even see it anymore. Ah, the wonderful human brain - now if I could just do that with my kids' whining.....!!!

P.S. And thanks to ZP, too, who goaded me into establishing my first web page, such as it is. xprt.net Don't bother looking!
