hi howard, "Unfortunately with Windows 98 there aren't any really good ways to check upon how much free memory you have after you load several programs." i'm running win95 and it's very easy via control panel to check available system resources. has this changed in win98? also, utility suites such as norton systemworks have a handful of memory sensors that can be displayed in any combination. reading from the systemworks memory sensor menu one finds the following 9 choices: DOS memory GDI resources memory load physical memory selectors (16-bit) swap file size swap file utilization user resources virtual memory i just keep the 'user resources' sensor (shows % free) visible on my desktop along with a few other sensors in a system doctor display. very easy to add or remove these sensors. :) mark
