Vin:
If you load and then exit several programs, you'll find that your available memory and resources will drop. There is a shareware version of SysTweak's MemoryZipper available that will recover the lost memory and resources. There are other proggies that will do the same thing -- check on download.com or tucows.com. It's a chronic issue with WinDoze 95/98/ME. "vinny33" wrote in message ...

It's not just 95/98/ME. It's all the sloppily written programs, mostly from
none other than (SURPRISE!) Micro$oft. Many programs cause memory and system resource leakage due to poor management of the memory used by the programs. The programs grab memory when they need it (actually they beg for it nicely from Windows), but often fail to release it when they finish with it. When a program aborts, it is potentially even worse, because possibly more memory is left in an unreleased state. So the memory available continues to drop, as do the system resource pool items which keep track of all this memory. MemoryZipper (and others) are smart enough to first scan through memory and find the owner of each memory block that is allocated as used. If a chunk of memory has no owner, MemoryZipper takes it over and then releases it properly back into the WIndows pool of available memory. Then MemoryZipper shuffles programs and data around in memory to make the available memory pool contiguous. Doh! Why couldn't Windows 95/98/ME do this all by itself? Probably because Micro$oft didn't want them to look too good compared to NT/2000/XPee. But, in summary, more disciplined application software making more judicious use of memory would have made 95/98/ME apparently better. But there is more to the story as to why Windows is such a shabby insecure and unreliable OS, and the story goes on and on today with XPee...

On Fri, 19 Dec 2003 23:23:08 GMT, ben_myers_spam_me_not @ charter.net (Ben Myers) had this to say
and I had to reply to it: snip ::But, in summary, more disciplined application software making more judicious use :f memory would have made 95/98/ME apparently better. But there is more to the ::story as to why Windows is such a shabby insecure and unreliable OS, and the ::story goes on and on today with XPee... Ben Myers It reminds me of that James Bond film about the "Communications Tycoon" who states to "have his software released to the public", and then "make sure there are several bugs in it" this way we can sell patches for years to come. Sound familure? Elector |

And where do you think the idea for the communications tycoon came from for the
Bond movie? wgates + Rupert Murdoch = Jonathan Pryce. Doh! ...

When consumers have varous choices to
pick from the manufacturers and sellers have to respond to the market in order to survive When there is basically on one choice the consumer usually suffers This is the case with Microsuck products Microsuck has done what the 60's car manufacturers have already tried Mr Bill has added fins so he can sell a new product Yes he has changed the engine somewhat Then came the competition that no one saw The auto manufacturers saw the overhead cam by foreign manufacturers and a thing called quality As long as Microsuck has no real competition Mr Bill will sell to us as the alternatives appear to be limited I wonder what would happen if the OS industry was more competitive The problem I beleive is with the copyright laws What Microsoft produces in software should be considered (Patent) not (Copyright) This would of course require a legal challenge. Software copyright as opposed to Patent software a misnomer should be in front of the courts I beleive ther is a difference between written material and software as it is included in the same legal context In any case Bill will sell poop to us as long as it is the only available food And we will buy it and eat it GO FIGURE "Elector" wrote in message ... ben_myers_spam_me_not @ charter.net (Ben Myers) wrote in message ...
