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? This article might answer some of your questions? twcny.rr.com

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? Yes it is true. Because Windows 2000 is not stuck with 64 KByte memory blocks for storing User and GDI handles that Windows 95 and 98 use. Microsoft did this to be backwards compatible with Windows 3.0 and Windows 3.1. There is essentially no limit on the number of User and GDI handles in Windows 2000. You can just about open an unlimited number of applications with Windows 2000 and not worry about running out of User and GDI Resources. One minor problem though, if you have any old Windows 3.0 and 3.1 programs they most likely won't run with Windows 2000 even though they would run with Windows 98.
