Default Resources

I am having big problems with my Win 98 SE PC having the resources sucked
out of it. Right now, according to the Resource Meter, it is:

System Resources: 32%
User Resources: 32%
GDI Resources: 63%

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:\PROGRA~1\NORTON~1\NAVAPW32.EXE (Norton anti-virus) - in my
SysTray
command: C:\PROGRA~1\SYMNET~1\SNDMON.EXE (Norton Live Update)

command: RUNDLL32.EXE c:\windows\SYSTEM\NvCpl.dll,NvStartup (NVIDIA Media
Center Library)
command: RUNDLL32.EXE c:\windows\SYSTEM\NvMcTray.dll,NvTaskbarInit
command: nwiz.exe /install (NVIDIA nView Wizard)

command: c:\windows\scanregw.exe /autorun (Scan Registry)

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

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.

OK, I should have done this before bothering this group ... I found a cool
website (http://answersthatwork.com/) that explains almost everything that
was on my list. I removed 6 from my startup:

loadqm.exe
NvMcTray.dll
taskmon.exe
TeaTimer.exe
OSA9.exe
DRWATSON.EXE

I could remove the Resource Meter because it takes up resources also, but
I've gotten to where I keep an eye on it to see if I need to reboot.

We'll see if removing these improves my performance.

I still would like to know if there is some other tweaking I could do.

Thanks,
Debbie

Glad you found something to help steer you through the resolution of
this problem. My comments for whatever they're worth are;
1) You appear to be running two AV programs, one of which is an known
resource hog as Richard Harper indicated. As long as you using
Grisoft, you do not require Norton. Disable it and watch the
improvement.
2) I note you have removed from your STARTUP Microsoft Office. I don't
know if this automatically stops the known resource hog FIND FAST, or
if it must be disabled separately . Maybe someone with knowledge will
chime in.

I agree - get rid of Norton, and Find Fast (that is probably in Control
Panel).

Glad you found something to help steer you through the resolution of
this problem. My comments for whatever they're worth are;
1) You appear to be running two AV programs, one of which is an known
resource hog as Richard Harper indicated. As long as you using
Grisoft, you do not require Norton. Disable it and watch the
improvement.
2) I note you have removed from your STARTUP Microsoft Office. I don't
know if this automatically stops the known resource hog FIND FAST, or
if it must be disabled separately . Maybe someone with knowledge will
chime in.

OK, I should have done this before bothering this group ... I found a

cool
website (http://answersthatwork.com/) that explains almost everything

that
was on my list. I removed 6 from my startup:

loadqm.exe
NvMcTray.dll
taskmon.exe
TeaTimer.exe
OSA9.exe
DRWATSON.EXE

I could remove the Resource Meter because it takes up resources also, but
I've gotten to where I keep an eye on it to see if I need to reboot.

We'll see if removing these improves my performance.

I still would like to know if there is some other tweaking I could do.

Thanks,

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

a
hog too.

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

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.
