Low System & GDI Resources in Windows 98
We are using Windows 98 2nd edition with Novell Client 3.10 and Zenworks (Netware 5). When Windows boots up we only have 48% maximum Windows system resources free before we even try to run anything! I have tried closing down my virus checker, toolbars, system tray icons and STILL only get about 48% free resources.
HELP!!! What can I try?

Shazzer, without knowing how much ram you have installed on this machine, the first place I would begin looking would be at your Netware setup. Unfortunately if this is setup incorrectly it will eatup resources like nothing else! Also, there are two files that you should try and get from Novell or from Microsoft, and they are either:
Windows 98 w\Internet Explorer 4.01 Service Pack 1
3/11/99 10:05am 4.72.3515.1100 1,389,328 Shell32.dll
-or-
Windows 98 w\Internet Explorer 4.01 SP2 or Internet Explorer 5
4/27/99 4:55pm 4.72.3704.2700 1,390,352 Shell32.dll
As a test, remove the netware protocols, reboot and then recheck the resources.
