Well, like you, I'm running Win98SE (using LiteStep as the GUI -- more configurable & less resource hungry). This is on an old Packard Bell that's beefed up to 333mhz, 104 meg of RAM. I run Outpost Pro firewall, NOD32 AV (including pop3 scanning), BOClean AT, Proxomitron proxying. No notable slowdown. Several things come to mind. It was suggested you try a memory manager. I run one here -- MaxMem from AnalogX. It's free. And having paid for several others, each time they'd add a bunch of "features", I'd end up with Access Violations & crashes. This one just chugs along, doing its thing very nicely. Another possibility is system incompatibility. Way too many times, I've seen stuff working perfectly on one machine, only to cause nothing but headaches on another. And not always correctable by configuration changes. You didn't say what firewall you do run. But I have no great love for ZAP 3 because it slowed things down here, along with other glitches. And yet I've seen others who love it. You might also grab a utility like ProcMon or WinTop and see what processes are running (not all of them will show up in the "close program" box in Win98). I've had a similar experience with my Logitech optical mouse, on several occasions. Using a process monitor, I found that DDhelp (a DirectX helper app) was running in realtime mode (highest priority, above everything else, including kernel32). I'm not sure whether some website(s) I've visited at rare times might have used it for some display effect or I've had some app misbehave by calling it up & not closing it after it's no longer needed. But that's happened to me several times. Terminating DDhelp & rebooting always solved it. Hopefully, something here will help. :-) - -- Best regards, Bill Kraski mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5i iQA/AwUBPlXBEV+k60BsXnM1EQKW7wCdEkHXTIym5PNRd+c/sbdGRmyVS4cAnieM IuWKKsb1fzPZ00pPeToItarm =JFWT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
