Coule someone please help Win 98 with Resource problems and would appreciate any help

[kissablysoft]

Well I royally screwed that up. Dexter suggested I post my problem here. I have Win 98. The system has 128 MB of RAM, Virtual Memory is 32-bit. When I click on the Virtual Memory button, "Let Windows manage..." is checked. If I check on "Let me specify..." the Hard Disk has 7600 MB free, 0 Minimum, and 7600 Maximum. Dexter mentioned that maybe it could be tweaked manually for better results. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jen

what are the problems

[kissablysoft]

We've run the ad-aware and the spy bot. I've also posted the HJT and I think we got that cleared up. The computer freezes up and I get an illegal operation at times. I sometimes get a fatal error. If i run more than one program at a time, it usually hangs up, but not freeze. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jen

How long has it been since Windows 98 was reinstalled?

[kissablysoft]

I don't think Win 98 has ever been reinstalled. I've used the Quick Restore once, but it has been a while back..probably over a year.

[TheSmJ]

Methinks it needs a reinstall. Windows 98 has a habit of needing it every year (or more) before things like that begin to happen.

So do the Quick Restore again? I have DSL and have a laptop networked into this. I would have to get that redone, wouldn't I?

[TheSmJ]

May as well try a Restore first. If that works, great. If not, do a full reinstall.

Thanks. I'll try the Quick Restore and go from there. If I have any more problems/questions, I'll be back.
