It shows all the information there. 100 times more useful than anyhting you can find in Win98. Win98 also suffers from the 64 KB limit on system GDI resource and USER resource (64KB for GDI and 64KB for USER in Win98. Win95 only have 64KB total for both USER and GDI). A buggy software can easily cause these resource to leak and when all the 64KB are used up, system crashed without warning. WinNT/2000 does not have these limitations. As a result, there is no way in NT/2000 to check how much GDI and USER resource is used or how much is free. ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
