Alas...the problem with Windows...available GDI and User resources. What's
worse, is that even if you close those programs that are sucking up your
resources, that your system may or may not recover. Problem's been around
even in Windows 3.1 days. Win98 has twice as many resource handles as
95...NT supposely isn't constrained by this problem. But, on Win95 and
Win98 (I'm a...ummm....Windows developer)...I'm constantly watching my
resources. Which brings me to another point...watch the resource monitor
you use. Some are literal black holes for resources.
What color resolution are you running your system in? Going to "True Color"
sucks up resources at an alarming rate.
