In Win 98 I could go to My comp.>properties>performance to see the percentage
of memory remaining after any period of time working on my pc. How can I see
this percenage in XP?

CTRL+ALT+DELETE, Performance Tab and at bottom is free memory.

The 'free resources' that you checked out in Win 98 are no longer applicable
to XP.. look to the other post to see memory usage in XP..

Right click on the taskbar at the bottom and then click task manager and then
the performance tab. Now all the info at the bottom is what you are looking
for, but unless you understand how and why they relate to each other you
won't know what is going on. Read the article found at the following URL for
a better understanding.

What you were looking at in Windows 98 was "free system resources"
which had absolutely nothing to do with the amount of RAM in the
computer or how that RAM was being used.
