[Ham-Computers] Question on Win 95..has me stumped

[Loren Moline WA7SKT]

Brian,

I dont know about WIN 95 but I know that 98 has a problem of not releasing 
resources once they are used by a program..Im talking about memory. Besides 
screen savers there are other programs that tie up the resources and wont 
release them back for other programs.

Either your computer may be running out of memory or you may have a bad 
memory location. WIN 95 had lots less capability of spotting and reporting 
problems in executing programs than 98 and later.

Just be sure you dont have any un-needed TSR programs running. Question is 
will the computer lock up running other programs. Maybe for some reason the 
computer can't understand some instruction in the weather program.
