8544 2001-02-10 00:00:00 I have a pentium111 computer with 128mb ram, 13GB hard drive and running windows 98.
When going on the internet it works for a few minutes then when I go to open a page or talk on the ICQ it freezes up. I press Alt-ctrl-del and it tells me my system is dangerously low on resources. I close everthing down to the desk top then I start netscape again and everything usually works fine.
can anyone please help me with this problem. Thankyou.

It seems you almost certainly have to many background programmes running, go to >Start > Run > type in msconfig click on the startup tab the only ones I would tick are any for your Antivirus,Systray,Explorer,
Load powerprofiles and scan registry untick everything else including ICQ and restart,
your system should start alot quicker after the first reboot and not use nowhere near as many resources.
Obviously this is only one of many possible causes,but is probably the easiest to try first of all.
Also it may pay to delete all files in your C:\Windows\Temp and
C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Folders.
Regards

Alan
