167704 2003-08-21 07:11:00 resources rely on memory. No memory = nothing for the resources to run in. Ie free your memory so your resources can run properly. Whats the deal? PoWa (203)
167705 2003-08-21 14:56:00 ME is much worse at managing resouces than 98SE

167707 2003-08-21 22:34:00 powa i could have 16meg of memmory but it wouldn't change my resources allocation which is restricted to 64k


FYI i have 50 Gigs in total running 512MB of 333 mhz RAM on an 1.8Ghz processsor.

sorry mate, you need to do some research

167708 2003-08-21 23:29:00 Agreed roofus

Resources are not an issue of memory. Its leaky software in the main, that fails to release the heaps in the resource stack.

167709 2003-08-21 23:44:00 If we're talking about Memory Leaks, WinXP still leaves traces of certain apps behind... Its still not too much better, but it IS an improvement!

IME, WinME's never been the most stable, and believe me, I've tried to keep it up and running (You need to have a machine that isnt gonna crash on Customers in a CyberCafe), but sometimes no matter how hard you try, the OS wins and simply crashes. :-(

Some interesting links posted there though :-)

167710 2003-08-22 00:05:00 anyway to end it all i went and purchased WinXP last night, so no more resource problems. (now i have Norton anti virus 2003 problems) (its not installing)

Chilling i found winME to be a reliable system, the problems i was having with resources would have occured on any of the win9x based OS's.

167711 2003-08-22 00:10:00 I'll give it the benifit of the doubt, but I know that we've had no problems with Win9x as opposed to ME in the Cafe.

It is a good OS, no doubt there, aimed at bringing Doze to the Home User market, whereas Win95/8 were (iirc) more aimed at the corporate world. Win2K became the Corporate OS, while ME ruled the roost for home users, so to speak.

Just out of curiousity, did you upgrade ME, or do a clean install?
As for the NAV problems... PressF1's here to help ;-)

Good to hear you've got it solved though!

Cheers


Chill.
