Windows Memory

[ataylor44]

I just reverted back to windows first edition because I edit video and since loading second edition and ME the video has had problems but thats not the real problem but I thought you might wonder why I reloaded an older version of windows.When I click on Internet Explorer to set up my cable modem for the internet right away it says that I don't have enouth memory to run this,close other resources and try again.I have 384 megs of ram,two 30 gig drives in a raid 0,PII 400 and have not loaded any programs yet.Can anyone tell me why it says that?Also there is nothing running in the background but Explorer and systray.

Seems like I remember someone saying on here that the old W95, could only use so much RAM. Could that be it?

Hey thanks for the response but this is what I did to cause the problem.I was told in another news group that if I didn't want to lose all my data and directory structure that I could do a deltree in dos of the programs directory and the Windows directory,so that is what I did and that's why I had the memory problem.So I reformatted and reloaded win98 and everthing worked.Thanks Again

EXPLORER and SYSTRAY may not be the only thing running - look for a free utility that can actually show everything that is running - perhaps SYSINFO can do it (I am not at home where I can look all of this up). I found several background processes, using utilities, that I could not see by doing the CTL+ALT+DEL. MSCONFIG would let me stop other processes but these new ones came in AFTER startup.

Hope this will give you some aid - if not now, then in the future.
