    "The System is Seriously Low on Resources". What Does That Mean, Please?
    Hi, All!

    Okay, so the error message comes up something like the following: "The system is seriously low on resources".

    What might that involve, please?

    Memory? Over use? Been on too long? Etc...

    I don't really know!

    Thanks!

    It's possible that one of the programs your using has a memory leak. I know, what's a "memory leak". It's a term used to describe an current program that doesn't return the memory to the operating system for re-use.

    Post a screen shot of the task manager window. The one that you get with Cntrl-alt-del.

    Netscape, which you use, might be a candidate.

    Re-booting could fix it only to recur again.

    The Print Screen doesn't seem to be working when I press Crtl, Alt and Delete.

    ESP. Not really. You said that you used Netscape somewhere on AMHD. My brain is trained to remember details such as that.

    You want to open the task manage. Click on it and then do a Alt-Fn-Print screen.

    Next suggestion is to open a program such as www.Irfanview.comand Make an empty image, paste, resize and save. Then post.

    Well, I've got Irfanview. Will try using that as well as the Task Manager.

    Need to get to rehearsal now, though...

    Thanks!

    Do you mean the thing where it will say "Scheduled Tasks" at the top of the window?

    I'm not sure where that might be on my computer. Am running Windows '98.

    I know...

    But, I don't really have another choice right now!

    It's what I have to use, at least for the time being. So, need to make the best of it...

    Clough,

    A "Low System Resource" is most often generated when the size of the "SWAP" file is constricted because of initial setup size or a hard drive reaching capacity
