Al:
Windows' Resource Meter is the easiest. If it's not in your Start | Programs
| Accessories menu, then you'll find the executable file rsrcmtr.exe in your
Windows subdirectory. I used to use Norton System Doctor to monitor user
resources, but I discovered (with help from Ken and a few other kind souls)
MetaStock Pro 7.0 had a major conflict with it and resources would drain
away before my very eyes. The problem is still bad, but I'm getting by now.
Let us know what you find.
