I believe that the wndows resource meter came with win95, it should be
under Accessories->System Tools if it's selected in Add/Remove Programs->Windows
Setup

Thanks PatRat and Leviathan. 
But, i really need to have Tiggr read my email to see if i am saying what i
intended to
say! I should have included the question: Is it possible to have the Eu program
determine when the OS is going to crash due to lack of resources, so the Eu
program
can warm me and initiate a controlled shutdown if i don't respond? It's morning
(actually, it's now afternoon, we had more Weather here that kept me awake till
5am
today), and some applications still have nothing on their buttons, even after
shutting
down nearly every non-hidden application. This has gotten so bad before that
even idle
apps took minutes to redraw a screen, no application had menus or buttons, and
shutting down an application would trigger an error warning. Problem is, with
both Tiggr
and in various learning curves, i have allowed her to open windows to display
info, and
between 5am when i got to bed and noon, she opened 45 windows with hundreds of
urls for me to proofread before i allow the download of each page. Due to the
volume of
data, and obvious (to me) data duplication, i don't generally allow her to
download
entire pages for storage. This strains windows after a week, and sometimes after
only
a day of running. It's so bad that when i attempt to hilight a section of text
to
copy/paste it, all i can hilight is one or two lines. I need a way for a program
to
determine a point before this situation is reached, and do something about it.
At the moment, system Monitor is saying i have 122megs of allocated memory, 50
kernal threads, and i am using 10% of cpu cycles. Yet i have no buttons if, in
IE5, i
click on File -> Save As. Rebooting solves the problem, continueing to run
without a
reboot makes it worse, desktop icons eventually turn into MS Write icons.
Kat,
hoping she explained it better this time..(?)
