>Again thanks to all who have answered. I am working on
this problem and have had some success. I have worked on
reducing the number of apps that run on startup, ie taking
out tray icons etc using msconfig on selective startup.
Also I have stopped some windows services from auto start
and made them manual start up. This may have helped as the
memory load seems to have dropped from 82% to 75% with AOL
9.0 running. Marvyone
