How do you view system resources in Windows XP? Windows Me had a resource
meter. I can't find that in XP. The Help system did not offer any help.
Doesn't Microsoft have a resource meter for XP? If so, where is it?

No, there is none, and that's good, not bad. The term "system
resources" referred to a particular data structure that existed
in Windows 9x/Me. It was a limiting factor because it was fixed
in size, and when it was all used, you crashed.

Windows XP is designed entirely differently and there is no such
structure. There's nothing to run out of and therefore nothing to
monitor.

That's one of XP's many improvements over 9X/Me. There are no
System Resources to run out of or to be concerned with.

hi again everyone, sorry for my typos lol
ok I just thought I would mention that I had NONE of this trouble before I installed SP2
is there a possibility that SP2 could be causing this problem? and if so how can I uninstall it? or will I need to reformat again? lol
