Default RAM utilization

The swapfile size if 183.1 M
The resource meter at the moment says "system 42% user 42% GDI 76%"

not sure what it means... and then theres " swapfile in use (between 53 and
73M or swapfile memory (about 180 M) "

Maybe you can tell me !

Worked... they are now installed.


To be honest not that much of a surprise. g Remember that trick
whenever you are asked to insert a Win Me CD. Better, if you are familiar
at working with the registry, is to correct the setup path in the
registry.
Start Regedit, browse in the left hand column to the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Setup
then select the value SourcePath in the right hand pane. Double click and
change the data to the folder containing BASE2.CAB and the other Win Me
setup files such as C:\Windows\Options\Cabs. Click OK and exit Regedit.

This can also be done using TweakUI (if installed).
My Computer tab, Special Folders, select Installation Path, click Change
Location and browse to the folder containing BASE2.CAB and the other Win
Me setup files. Finally click Apply.

Now I will try to find out how to interpret what they are telling
me... Thanks
I will probably post back with what I find.....


A large swap file would suggest you might benefit from additional RAM.
Low resources would suggest you either need to close programs and perhaps
reduce the number being launched when you boot your system.
