dangerously low on resourses" apears and pc frozzen. ctrl + alt + del
doesn't work to close the aplications or restart the computer. I
already install officce 2000 premium again, from the cd-rom, and the
packs from microsoft web site, but this did not fix the problem. What
can I do? I using windows millennium edition. Thanks a lot.

WinME, as a member of the Win9x family, is a resource-bound OS.
Resources (as I poorly understand them) are stack pages that contain
pointers to system components. Resources have nothing to do with
installed RAM. Free resources by:
Minimum files and icons on the desktop
Minimum files in the root of C:, i.e., when looking at C:\ . Only
system files and directories should be here
No wallpaper, screensaver.
Keep Temp Internet Files emptied.
Keep C:\Windows\temp emptied.
Run 16bit color rather than 24 or 32 bit color.
Disable the Active Desktop is big help.
Disable desktop themes.
Reduce the number of installed fonts to 30-40.
In VBA, keep worksheets free of embedded objects. Release objects in
code when finished ( =nothing).
Eliminating background programs or multitasking can help if those
programs themselves consume resources.
Eliminate the Office Startup, mso.exe, and the startup bar from
start/run/type: msconfig..[enter]/select startup tab, uncheck the box.
IMO, these are useless resource hogs.
I know there are others, but this is a start on freeing resources.
