Win 98 Sys Resource going wild.

My resource meter changes from very low to normal high every few seconds. It eventually goes to low of like 10-15% and issues a warning that a fatal exception could occur. I try to delete a running program as it suggests but am not able to do that. System freezes and I have to shut off computer manually. I cannot get the start-shutdown function to work.

This all happens with in a few minutes to at the most a half hour after I have turned the computer on. Got any ideas as to what I might be able to do to fix this?

It's just the System Resource that gets so low.

Tampien:

Install and run Spybot - Search & Destroy. It works in conjunction with Ad-aware and will find spyware that Ad-aware doesn't find, and vice versa. Delete everything in red that it finds.

Go into the MSCONFIG startup tab and see how many programs you have checked and running in the background. Many of them can be unchecked and disabled. This will increase system resources and will eliminate some computer problems.
