Thanks for your advice R.

I should have mentioned that the video card is a NVida GeForce 2 MMX 400 and the operating system is Windows 98.

I don't think I do have a virus problem because I run Norton Anti Virus which updates itself. I also do a full virus check every week.

I will check the Microsoft service packs and update immediately.

Will report back later.

By the way, what sort of memory figures should I really except from Norton Doc's analysis?

cheers

I have just downloaded 12.5MB of Win98 upgrades and service packs (yes it has been a VERY long time since I did check) and my free PM memory is now down to 0.1MB as I write this. USER free is 43% VM free is 1612.9MB and GDI free is 68% Mem load is 70%.
C free is 8510MB and swap file size is 654,764. What do these figures mean, other than that I am heading for another crash?
Zone Alarm is turned off. The broadband link and Norton Anti Virus are the only programmes running (that I know of)

cheers
