re: Question about 'Windows says it's ''Dangerously Low on System Resources''' Thursday, April 21, 2005 at 3:01 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Al (4 messages posted) Unfortunately, most of the solutions posted don't help at all. I have gotten my machine to have 86% of resources free on boot. And this is a Pentium 200MMX with 256MB of RAM (no, it's NOT my main machine). I run the resource monitor and do various tasks. I also have Analog X's MAXMEM running, to clear out my ram, I can usually get 60% free. When I delete a lot of files, or empty the recycle bin, the resource monitor suddenly goes down from 74% to 0% in the blink of an eye. Appears to be an explorer problem. If I'm really patient and wait a while, my resources come back, by explorer is no longer responding. Has anyone got a solution to this yet? I don't have this same problem on my newer machine (also running 98SE because I hate XP). I think it may have to do with my harddrive on the older computer being forced to run in MS-DOS compatibility mode. On Monday, May 24, 2004 at 11:23 am, doitwright wrote: >I have the same problem.
