System resources low/memory usage low
 

Noel: Thanks for responding - I was hoping you would, you
helped me tremendously with a system restore problem some
months ago.

I will try the various things you mentioned & will let you
know, but don't be surprised if it's a couple of days --
lots of other work to do. On the other hand, if the
computer can't run some things, I'll have to get this
fixed first! Today I couldn't even scan a picture in
because it said it was low on resources or memory. Grrr.

Thanks again.

Nancy

Neither your memory usage, nor the resources in use are a
problem.
I suspect that you may have driver problems, or spyware
problems....
Such errors are often caused by spyware - download
AdAware from
www.lavasoftusa.com, install, update, and run it to
remove spyware, adware,
and other such nasties from your system.

look here for instructions on how to clean up your
startup axis, preventing
unnecessary programs loading
http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_content.php

Check out your drivers by rebooting to Safe Mode, and
opening Device Manager
there
Remove ALL error-flagged devices
Remove ALL entries in the 'Other Devices' branch if
present
Remove ALL instances of any duplicated entries (ignoring
one in System
Devices for the moment
Reboot to Normal Mode - Windows will reinstall required
drivers

See if that helps, and post back with your results.

I'm not sure this is the right newgroup (software, power
management, etc.), but here goes. AOL was running slow,
couldn't get calendar to load. After tinkering w/
offline
storage (as AOL instructed me too), no better. Called
and
he had me look at AOL system info & he said these 2
things
were a problem. Memory is at 74% load and system
resources 53% free. This was after shutting down all
programs that may startup on starting computer. I try
to
keep that area cleaned out anyway. I scanned for virus.
Nothing. I have a lot of digital pictures stored, but
he
said that's hard drive and nothing to do w/ this. (I'm
still going to copy them to CD) Any ideas? Thanks for
any help.
