Thanks Brian. I seem to remember debug creating virtual reams of output...
But that is when it is *actively* running. I would also suggest that Debbie
run SFC and check if any system files have been altered and to get a task
monitor to see just what is eating the resources/system and at what time of
activity.

It may also be a resource hog....at least the older versions were. I don't
currently have an APC brand UPS, so I don't know if the newer versions have changed.
Last time I used PowerChute, as soon as it loaded, resources dropped from 96% to 75%
free.

Power Chute is there system power monitor which kicks in if power is lost. Can also

Why are you even running some of those in the startup, like (for example) Dr

Let's see if some others can weigh in with more specifics.

1) You appear to be running two AV programs, one of which is an

You may be right. I never checked the resources after installing it.
I installed it.
Didn't really care much for it.
Uninstalled it.
The UPS beeped when power went off and allowed me 20 mins to shut down.
Never left the machine on if I wasn't going to be around.

APC is American Power Conversion, sellers of UPS's.
Power Chute is there system power monitor which kicks in if power is lost. Can also
shutdown after set amount of minutes of power loss and then restart when power is
regained, supposedly without loss of data.

You seem to have a LOT of stuff in there!!! You can (with prudence)
selectively uncheck each of the fluffy ones in there, one by one, to find
out which ones are the real hogs.

Why are you even running some of those in the startup, like (for example) Dr
Watson? I don't know what the APC thing is, and Norton can be a bit of a
hog too.

Let's see if some others can weigh in with more specifics.

I am having big problems with my Win 98 SE PC having the resources sucked

System Resources: 32%

I usually have to reboot in order to get it back up. Usually, I'm running
Outlook, Outlook Express, and maybe a couple of IE windows. I have 256

RAM.

I don't know what to tweak in order to fix this problem. Here's what is

in
my startup:

command: C:\PROGRAM FILES\GRISOFT\AVG6\avgcc32.exe /startup - in my

SysTray
command: C:\PROGRA~1\GRISOFT\AVG6\Avgserv9.exe

command: c:\windows\SYSTEM\wucrtupd.exe -startup (Windows Critical Update)

command: DAW9532.EXE (3COM network card)

command: c:\mouse\system\em_exec.exe (mouse)

command: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\hpztsb04.exe (HP DeskJet Taskbar Utility) - in

my
SysTray

command: Rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,LoadCurrentPwrScheme
command: Rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,LoadCurrentPwrScheme

command: loadqm.exe (MSN Queue Manager)

command: C:\NKLINE GLOBAL\MODEM BOOSTER\ModemBtr.exe - in my SysTray

command: c:\windows\taskmon.exe (Task Monitor)

command: C:\Program Files\APC\APC PowerChute Personal Edition\mainserv.exe
command: C:\Program Files\APC\APC PowerChute Personal Edition\Display.exe
(APC UPS Status) - in my SysTray

command: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MDM.EXE (Machine Debug Manager)

command: mstask.exe (Scheduling Agent) - in my SysTray

command: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\Script
Blocking\SBServ.exe" -reg

command: C:\PROGRAM FILES\SPYBOT - SEARCH & DESTROY\TeaTimer.exe - in my
SysTray

command: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\OSA9.EXE

command: C:\WINDOWS\RSRCMTR.EXE (Resource Meter) - in my SysTray

command: C:\WINDOWS\DRWATSON.EXE - in my SysTray

Is something listed above sucking up resources? Is there something that I
should uncheck? Is there somewhere else I should be checking? This is
getting so old having to restart.

Thanks for any advice,
Debbie

Yes, that is why the software is not necessary, unless you leave the machine
unattended for long periods.

You may be right. I never checked the resources after installing it.
I installed it.
Didn't really care much for it.
Uninstalled it.
The UPS beeped when power went off and allowed me 20 mins to shut down.
Never left the machine on if I wasn't going to be around.

It may also be a resource hog....at least the older versions were. I don't
currently have an APC brand UPS, so I don't know if the newer versions have

changed.
Last time I used PowerChute, as soon as it loaded, resources dropped from 96% to

75%
free.
