In Taskinfo, did you check the memory usage of each individual task? -----Original Message----- From: Windows Home/SOHO [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rich Koziol Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2006 7:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: win98 consuming lots of swap space
Hi, I'm "all ears" on this one. Developed a similar problem on my Win98 PC recently. It has a bit more RAM, but it's slowing down a lot. Downloaded Taskinfo from http://www.iarsn.com, as suggested here. It's popping up with low virtual memory all the time. I assume it means swap file. Strange, since I have 3/4 of a gig of memory, it should not even use swap file. Something fishy is going on. AVG does not show anything, and neither do any of the adware apps.
