I think a good pointer would be the fact you are running so much RAM on WinME. The OS just gets very unstable with that much RAM. I know there is a continuous on going debate over how much RAM a 9x OS will support but 1.5GB is a bit much. I would start by cutting it down to 512MB and see if that makes any improvement. My other recomendation is that if you are going to be running this much RAM, switch to an OS such as 2K Pro or XP Pro/Home that will support it.

thanks table salt! but the resalts are the same starting with 128 megs on up as i wrote this yesterday i had droped back to 512, again just to check no go same resalts, the system itself is very stable no other problems at all, and "me" sees all the ram, ive followed the debates, and enjoyed them very much! it is true that there isnt much diffrence in performance at 1 gig as apossed to 1.5 but there is some! i cant beleave its stable eather just lucky i gess! but thanks for the reply love these forums and windrivers have followed and used for years !
