I think this says it all.

ME is probably the WORST Windows implementation ever released. Buggier than
other versions; crashes more often then other versions; has poor memory
management, so even with 256 or even 512 Megs of RAM, you'll run out of
resources. Sometimes 3rd party memory cleaners are helpful--other times they
just cause more crashes!

If I had a choice of reverting to an earlier Windows version or continuing with
ME, I'd wipe my hard drive to eliminate all traces of ME and resinstall an
earlier version.

As a very old Mac user (in both senses!) I can put up with any amount of ranting about Windows, but unfortunately my users can't - they just have to use what they have. And it has to be said that my beta tester (who reported the problem with ME) is writing some very elaborate VB programs using that platform. For myself, I just need to know what I did in my app to suddenly soak up resources in ME, bearing in mind that the app was working on all platforms in earlier versions - but without help from someone who understands the RR Windows engine, I think I'm stalled.


Still trying for a recipe...

PS Tell a Mac oldie - what exactly **are** resources in a Windows context, and why should one run out? After all, Windows has had some kind of virtual storage since it emerged from the slime, AFAIK. What other resources are we talking about?
