I think I'll open up a game of solitaire... and surf the web... and check e-mail... and write my book report... and play some multimedia files... HEY!? Where'd my system resources go. My PC tells me that I've got to close some applications. If only I knew how much was being sucked up. Well, I suppose I could have used the Resource Meter. Click on the Start button, select "Run," then type in "RSRCMTR" (without the quotes) and hit Enter. It should launch this nifty (albeit somewhat simple) utility that'll keep an eye on when resources are running dangerously low. The icon sits quietly in the System Tray (double click it for more info). You can (and probably should) place a shortcut for it in your Startup folder, too. Green is GOOD!
