It is true that Windows 98 (a Windows 3.1 legacy problem) does make use of
different pools of memory. Iregardless of the amount of physical RAM in a
machine it is feasible to run out of one of these other resources (User &
GDI).
The limitation was substantially increased when Windows 95 was introduced.
Based on you bringing up only 3 apps and having a resource problem I have to
believe it's a related bug but not normal by any circumstances.
For grins you may want to dump some of your memory out depending on how it's
configured in your system and see if you get the same results with 64mb,
128mb, 192mb.
That's just a first step to isolating the problem. Hope it helps.

I'm not sure, but I seem to recall that Windows 9x can only effectively
manage
limited amounts of RAM and a very limited amount of memory reserved for
system
resources. You may be filling up the system resources memory with pointers
to
RAM you can't make effective use of anyway.
