after a time my resources fall back to 19% i heard this is a bug but are there any updates or are there people who has this problem to
please reply
Howdy, Well how many programs are you loading at startup. What defines after some time? A day or a few hours? Windows 9.x and Me have a set amout of resources that it can use. You can not increase this by adding memory, ect. Its a set limit within the program, but this does not mean you are not having other issues. If you can give more details it would help.
Laters,

i mean that after startup i have 77% of resources free but after a while (1/2 our) my resources fall slowly back to under 20% and it won't come higher then the 20 or less percent so if you think you know the sollution i hear from you

I think if you press Ctrl+Alt+Delete, you'll be able to shut down unnessessary programs and tsr's that you arent using. I am not sure if Me has msconfig like in 98, but try disabling most of the start up programs by running: c:\windows\system\msconfig.exe
See if that helps.

Hi there
I am now running MS Windows ME and I have 128Mb Ram of which I have 80% free when I start with NO programs runnng (apart from Explorer). However, on a system with 32Mb Ram and with start-up programs loaded at each boot, 91% free are left. Why do I have this problem with such low memory on each startup? Please Help

I have the same problem, I start out with 80% resources free and after a few hours of just sitting there with nothing else open it falls to 1%!! I've take out every TSR and am running only bareboned. Interestingly enough I closed winmgmt.exe (???) last night and resources jumped back up to over 50%. I have no idea why this file is loading or what it does, all I know is that it is part of WinME?

Your problem is caused by winmgmt. If you terminate it your resources will bounce back up. I just don't know how to prevent it from loading!? I've tried some of the proposed solution in this forum and they don't work for me???

I have the same mystifying problem. Just upgraded from a 166 MHZ, 64 MB Fujitsu notebook running 98SE to an ABS Supreme DVD Pentium III, 800 MHz, 256 MB running WinME. I was rubbing my hands with glee, looking forward to all the power, but all I've gained is freezes and low-resource warnings, even though I've installed only half the programs I had on my little notebook. I can just barely keep the system afloat using Ctr-Alt-Del as I go along, closing out one program after another. Anyone figure out how to keep winmgmt.exe out of the picture regularly, and does it cause any other problems if you do so?

i have the same problem a dramatic decline in resources eventhough i just got my new 900MHZ,128mgbyte,AMD athlon compaq, 4 weeks ago. i called the tech support several times . we shout down a lot of background's programs,restored the system over 5 times, and still the same problem going .no solution yet . i get advised from the tech support people to exchange it with a new one because they said it might be a hardware diffect.anybody has a solution to try before i do the exchange.

DAAMAMNNNN STTRAIGHT!!!
please postback on this forum if you know what WINMGMT.exe is run by. I have the same problem on a system I bought for my parents. (Micronpc). I check to see whats running in taskmanager when it starts screwing up and acting laggy and winmgmt is always there F*%* it up!!! What the heck is that? why does it run? How do I shut it off? I can't even reproduce the exact conditions necessary to get itto run.
POSSIBLE THEORY: LAN issue related. Is anyone having thisproblem while connected to a LAN or any other network setup?

yep.
I play Everquest (an online only RPG) and I get freezes all the time.. the taskmanager shows that winmgmt loaded itself and crashed/froze, causing the disconnection, and the crashing of my Dial-up-network-program.
Winmgmt only starts in background, when I am connected to my ISP, and it always carshes my system..anyone knows why its there? what triggers it to auto-load, how to disable it from doing so??
please send me any suggestions
be greeted

I've cut and pasted the following information. Hopefully this will lead you to the right fix.
Winmgmt = Microsoft Windows Management Instrumentation
If there is an abrupt change in file size (for example, from 300 KB to 10 KB), the last file before the abrupt change in size is probably the last good file. It is likely that whatever was installed after that is responsible for the registry corruption. You can restore the registry to the last known good state by running the following command. Note, however, that doing so removes the performance counter references from all of the programs and services that were installed after this snapshot was taken.
Basically, this means that a previously installed or modified program should be reinstalled or updated. I updated shockwave; http://sdc.shockwave.com/shockwave/download/frameset.fhtml
as well as msn.com; http://preview.msn.com when I received the following error "DDHELP has caused error in GDI.exe " upon restarting WindowsME. I have installed several new programs including a new HP print driver....watch out for that!
