I am pretty well a complete idiot where computers are concerned, but for five years I have somehow struggled on. However I now have a problem which I really don’t understand.
My ISP is AOL (9), and have Windows 98SE.
My computers Systems Resources Available is playing me up and is causing my computer to grind almost literally to a halt. When first logging the SRA is around 60-70%, dropping to 40-50% when on the Internet. Gradually it dwindles to as low as 18% (record so far!!! )
My computer has a 256Mb memory.
I have tried removing all programmes I dare to take out (and understand). I have defragged, cleared everything out, etc etc, but still the problem carries on. One thing I have noticed is when I check what programmes I have running, REALPLAY is often indicated up to 15 times!!! even though I haven’t been near the programme. Rmoving them doesn’t seem to make any difference to the SRA. If I log out of the Internet and return then return, the SRA increases…then starts dropping!!!
I have Avast Anti Virus (freebee) and the usual AOL Spyware.
Here is my present AOL ‘SYSINFO’ and you can see the SRA is at 46%. The rest is double dutch to me. Is there anything significant I should look for? Before logging off a few minutes ago it was 19%!!!
PLEASE, any replies most gratefully received, MUST be in words of one syllable!!! (LOL)
