[Peter Kaulback]

In the wee hour of 04:38 PM 4/30/01 -0500, sales at iibiz.com bequeathed such 
tales as these:
>I know all you experts will have input on this one!
>
>My Windows '98 machine, about 1 1/2 years old, is becoming more and more
>unstable.
>
>Even though it's a plenty powerful machine, lately I end up re-booting 2-3
>times a day because the system resources run so low it can't function.
>
>I know I read an article explaining this and what you can do, short of
upgrading, to help alleviate the problems, a while back - but of course
>can't find anything on it now!
>
>Any one have any links they can share regarding this issue?

Have you been installing/uninstalling a lot of other software?  Do you run 
regular defrag/scandisk sessions?  Check out "Easy Cleaner" from 
http://www.saunalahti.fi/tonihele/ and use it to trim your registry of old 
garbage that builds up there.  How many app's do you have running in the 
background?  If you need to find these out then check out Igor M Arsenin's 
site http://www.iarsn.com/ for his TaskInfo 2000 application which is a 
combination of Task manager and System Information Utility.  HTH
