I have a question about Windows says it's "Dangerously Low on System Resources":

The WinME architecture limits the quantity of memory assigned to System Resources. This much I know. Is there ANY method of over-riding this and providing the dynamic memory allocation architecture of WinNT etc.? I'm prepared to take risks at this stage...

Memory and resources aren't the same thing. The amount of memory you have installed 
has nothing to do with free resources.  

To have more free resources available, remove unnecessary applications from your 
startup. Anything in your startup is constantly running in the background. Some tips....

First, go into the options of the programs themselves. Right-click on the icons in 
the tray area, open each, go through the options to turn off the "tray" or "run at 
startup" feature. 

For the others, go to Start - Run, type: msconfig. Under startup tab.... Leave checked: 
Systray, Scan Registry, Load Power Profile (two), *StateMgr, firewall, if you have 
one. 

Note: Load Power Profile only if you use power saving schemes. For info. on any other 
processes that you have listed, check here to see whether they're needed in your 
startup.

Btw, it's best not to use power saving features, as they use resources themselves. 
If you do, you can disable that feature for better performance...if you wish.

FYI, info on ACPI or APM:

Advanced Power Management

How to Disable Power Management

Try this DLL Tweak. Windows doesn't do very well at unloading dll's from memory, 
when you close programs. This will help free up resources once you close them.
