    Well, if it isn't a VB app, then it is Gremlins.

    win98 has a lot of holes for memory to leak out from
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    IE being one of them

    Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.

    Try this one: got to Windows\System folder and open the program called MSCONFIG.EXE. Click the Advanced... button and see if the Limit memoty to XX has been checked.

    And see also the startup section. Remove all other programs except Systray (leave your own critical programs there of course).

    How to reduce your memory usage:

    1. Find someone with DOS 6.22 disks
    2. Install
    3. Delete startup folder
    4. Mess around for days with memmaker trying to get games to run
    I refuse to tie my hands behind my back and hear somebody say "Bend Over, Boy, Because You Have It Coming To You".
