yeah Erik I am on 98SE........ when I installed ME my system crashed all over the place........ when I installed (actually hubby he he he) XP my system went haywired and crashed so I formated and went back to 98 and now everything is fine......... except memory......... when I work with files I will have open........ mail (outlook), dreamweaver 4, and ps...... the images that I work on are pretty big as I do my templates in ps now then slice them up............ eventually my system goes so slow with changing from one program to another so I reboot to release the ram

I find that I have to do this more often depending on what I have installed during a week.......... my font manager thingy had to go as did JAlbum, I usually only install one thing per week to see how it effects my system but even with a p4 2.0 256DDR ram and a fast 80 gig hard drive it goes slow and reboot is necessary......... I usually do this 3 or 4 times a day

someone has given to me a release ram program where I click on the icon and it gives me back my ram that has been lost some where but I haven't installed the program yet

I don't have screen savers......... or kazza or anything like that and I continually check my start up file to make sure that I have very very little running as I only want these few programs (as above) open all day every day

Hubby is looking into a dual processor system for me as I complain all the time about restarting and feel as though I am the only one going through all of this......... perhaps it is the programs that I have installed but at some point I need them or want to try them so I want to keep them but surely I thought a p4 2.0 is not such a slow system but for some reason my boggs down and is frustratingly slow for me - but then I like instantaneous results        and is probably why I have stayed away from Bryce, max 4 and cinama 4D....... mainly got all of those for my son not me he he he
