Also I had a blurring, yes blurring, of the lettering at the bottom of the MSIE 6.0.2600.0000 webpage. It was as though someone had put their finger in wet paint and smeared it across the bottom bar of the web browser page. Any ideas what is wrong and what I should do? Ray in NZ	raymac (306)
76231	2002-09-04 01:55:00	Hi ya. Thats a weird one - blurring often occurs when the processor is chugging and cant repaint the screen quick enough. When do you get low on resources - when you first open Windows or only when you open IE? Give a bit more detail & also include what O/S you are using and someone here may be able to help :-)	parry (27)

If you don't have lots of stuff, then check to see what 16bit applications you are running. The thing with resources and 16bit apps. is that a 16bit app will not release the resources it used untill all 16bit apps have stoped running.	roofus (483)

Just how can we tell WHICH apps are 16bit ? By the way is there a GOOD intenet Monitor available - I particularly want to watch the traffic inwards AND outwards and to see WHERE the congestion is (EG: my ISP ingress or egress, or the 'net or the site)	Abdul (1276)
