...Sorry, you essentially have to many programs open. Windows 98 Resource meter and the Graphics Device Interface Indicator displayed by Norton System Works only display the status of two fixed 64 k blocks of memory. Buying more memory does not change the size of these memory blocks. My hunch is you have to many programs packed into your System Tray. Count the number of Icons you see in the lower right corner of your screen. If is over 10 start eliminating some. Use MsConfig to do this. Howard, I've taken your suggestion and used msconfig to remove a lot of the garbage. I've been told that Windows 2000 would allow me to open more applications i.e., maybe more than 64Kb blocks of memory? Is this true? Thanks. Sue
