Dave,
There are several memory cleaning products out there for Win98 and ME. I used 98 for years and kept memory relatively available with MemTurbo. Periodically, the program senses that a lot of memory is being held for programs that are not currently open and reassigns that memory to active programs. Try their free demo and see if that helps your problem.

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Out of Memory problem with Legacy
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. It looks like the answer is to either
upgrade to XP Pro or get more RAM (if I can afford it) or to frequently
clean up / defrag the disc and/or re-install Windows Me (if I can't afford
to upgrade).
I may look into upgrading my system, but I'll try doing a clean up & defrag
in the meantime (I did a reinstall a few months ago) and see how that works.
Thanks again, Dave

ifI added memory to an Pentium II 300 mhz machine (very ancient) a year ago and everything went fine...after boot-up everything runs very smoothe. Sorelease.needed and and you can't afford a new horse have the old one re-shoed... Good luck

This is a simplistic non-answer to the problem.
My wife's machine runs ME and cannot be 'upgraded' to an even bigger
resource hog of an operating system because it doesn't have the horsepower
necessary. We're not going to replace a functioning machine because
Microsoft demands more memory and computing power to run each newerdisk;Nor are we going to spend money we don't have on ridiculously-priced upgrades.
If the ME machine functioned before but doesn't now, then something's changed on the machine.
Simple things to do to attempt to fix the reported problem: run disk cleanup, getting rid of extraneous files on the system; defragment thethescan for viruses and other malicious software; clean up your background programs (programs that run at startup for no good reason -- many vendors believe you simply can't exist without their little goodies running allthesetime and enough of those hiding in the background will consume a good portion of your available memory).
And so on. Any decent computer-repair guy or gal can walk you throughthings if you're not comfortable doing them on your own.
