: Hmmm...they freeze your computer instantly?
: Never had a freezeup loading a midi
: into Media Player while running Internet Explorer and Netscape Inbox at the same time.
Yeah,MIDI's kill me. It's JUST MIDI files too,I can run WAVs,VOCs and MP3s no problem.
: Do you have at least 32 Megabytes
: (Anything higher and you shouldn't
: have any problems) and at least
: a Pentium class CPU? (100 MHZ)
: And are you running Internet Explorer
: or Netscape or another browser?
Let me see here.......I'm running a Packard Bell with Windows 98 and internet explorer 5.0 and 40MB of RAM. I think it's a 286..er..it's SOMETHING that ends in an 86.O-o
The system info says the CPU is a Pentium Pro (This piece of CRAP has a pentium O_O;; Geh..that's not possible..)
It's outdated by about..hmmn...a year?
: Anyway here's what I do to minimize
: the chance of lockup until I can upgrade.
: First upon Windows 98 loading up,
: I immediately close all programs that
: aren't vital to Windows operation so
: I'm just running the bare minimum
: programs to keep Windows running.
Yup Yup...I do this too.
: Second I pause Task Scheduler.
: Third I use Internet Explorer
: instead of my Ameritech Netscape
: browser. And if I open Netscape
: Messenger and keep it minimized.
: Finally I do a disk cleanup every once
: in a while to keep the Virtual Memory
: in the green zone.
Gotta do that myself very soon..
: If none of this helps then you may
: have to do like me and think about upgrading.
: It's expensive but the last upgrades
: I've gotten so far have been WELL worth it.
: (Now if only that friend of ours would
: get back to us on upgrading one more time!!!
: Then I can run my scanner and ZSNES again!!!)
Upgrade? I wish ^^;;
