guys, if you have 512 or something mg ram and are runing a windows 98 you are trying to drive 300km/h with a bike. windows only manages 128 and no more. not even windows ME can help you with that.you will need an server OS like windows nt or windows 2000. other wise it will tell you what you have(sometimes not even that) but will never make you pc faster.

try changing your OS, or give everything the half or a fouth of the size. this should do it. its a lot of work but some day you will need to do it anyway.

hope to help
