Capt, after this tweak, my 'puter really flies. tks. bt

Cap'n, do you remember what the two decimal settings were before I changed them to "1"? I neglected to write that down.

1.DisablePagingExecutive -double click it and in the decimal put a 1 - this allows XP to keep data in memory now instead of paging sections of ram to harddrive yeilds faster performance.

2.LargeSystemCache- double click it and change the decimal to 1 -this allows XP Kernel to Run in memory improves system performance alot

I have 512MB memory and just ordered another 512MB from Crucial. When I have IB and QuoteTracker open, memory usage often peaks to 100% [it varies a lot, too] and I think extra memory will help that.

PS: I did not notice a big improvement after that tweak
