214599	2004-02-12 05:29:00	metla:- You asked - >Does this happen only after/while using infranview or is it a constant occurence? Answer : It only appears to happen with IrfanView roofus:- - I am not using Windows 95 or 98, I am using Windows ME The drop in resources is quite dramatic over a period of about quarter of an hour. Much more than 4%. More like 40% I will look to see if there is a later version of Irfanview out, as I got this version some time ago tweak'e the version of Irfanview is 3.61. I will try and look to see if there is a later version which might be better Graham L : I am using Irfanview to look at the thumbnails, which means a lot of images at the same time. But the resources don't recover from their dangerously low levels, even when I close Irfanview. kiwibeat : I have got an older version of ACDsee which is good, but has a nag screen occasionally, as I haven't got the registered version.	ssssss (2100)
214600	2004-02-12 05:36:00	I use Irfanview with Win ME, with no problems. It might be an idea to look for a later version. It's often on cover CDs (it might be in PC Worlds download area).	Graham L (2)
214601	2004-02-12 05:41:00	current ver is 3.85 (unlees i've missed an update). upgrade it and the plugin pack to.	tweak'e (174)
214602	2004-02-12 06:23:00	Hi Graham L, and tweak'e, I have installed version 3.85 from NoNags. I couldn't find the plugin pack though. BUT I still have the same problem! Readings in the Resource meter are down to 5% 34% and 5%, after using irfanview. It is a pain. Bye the way, can someone tell me what settings I should choose on the Ram Optimizer which I now have installed on my Windows ME with 128MB of ram? At the moment it is "free ram to 13MB if it drops below 6MB'	ssssss (2100)

Graham L has confused RAM with Resources (a common misconception) and as i said earlier the resources will not spring back (to the pre levels) after you shut down ifranview due to the way these 16bit resources work.	roofus (483)
214604	2004-02-12 08:19:00	sssssss the Ram optimizer isn't going to help you with your problem. Also i didn't clarify earlier. WinME is part of the win9x family and therefore suffers the resource problem just like 95 and 98	roofus (483)
214605	2004-02-12 08:31:00	i assume you uninstalled the old ver first ?? try another media program and see if the same problem accurs. i personally have never had any problems nor have heard of any with ifranveiw but there is always a first time ;-)	tweak'e (174)
214606	2004-02-12 09:33:00	Thanks roofus and tweak'e. Yes - I did uninstall the old version first	ssssss (2100)
214607	2004-02-12 10:39:00	After you uninstalled irfanview did you delete the directory where it was installed (\program files\irfanview) before reinstalling? The problem may be caused by a plugin that wasn't removed by the uninstaller.	bmason (508)
