I am running Win98se on a 566 @ 850 Celeron II with 160 megs memory. My problem is Windows gets very slow about 1\2 an hour into browsing the net and playing games. Any1 know what this could be?

Thanks
Andrew

Try using some "memory freeing" programs.

I agree with the last post post. There are a lot of good memory programs that can be found. There are good ones at www.downloads.com. Then this is a verry good way of speeding up the computer. I dont know how good you are with computers but watch what you press cause you can f*ck your computer. Press start then run. Then type in msconfig. A program will load up. click on startup. Then uncheck all the boxes that you dont need. Watch wich ones you do otherwise you can cause problems. Good Luck

...into msconfig you should be able to safely remove all the checkmarks except for Systray and LoadPowerProfile which sould be there......that way you will probably get a system resource performance of more than 95% and notice a great difference after you reboot...
also delete the "temp" folder from the windows folder (it'll reappear next time you reboot, but now you will have some xtra free space) and delete all the offline content, then scandisk and defrag and you will have a brand new system!!!
