I have a similar yet different problem. I have a PC with 98se on it and if I leave 
it sitting for a long period of time (say an hour or two) and try to open My Computer 
or something, it won't open and any program on the desktop I try to open automatically 
gets an exception error. When I hit Ctrl+Alt+Del I get "Dangerously Low On Resources!" 
but all that is running is Vptray (aka NortonAV), Systray, and Rundll32. I can end 
task on any one of these and it won't make a difference. I have to shut it down and 
start over. It does this even if I just bring it up and do nothing to it but let 
it sit. I have ran a complete surface scan on the HD (no bad sectors), updated Norton 
and scanned the PC (no virii), cleaned off all ad spyware garbage and picked through 
the startup until all I had left were the three items running I mentioned. So...what 
else could be causing this and what other methods can help resolve it? 

Also, are there any real memory aid programs out there for 98 or are they all bunk? 
My home PC has that memory leak problem where it runs out of memory (has plenty) 
after programs have been closed and things start to go all wonky and break up until 
I have to reboot. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ^_^
