icq and yahoo messenging would account for some of that but not 45% of your resources, is there anything running in the background that you dont know of. you might want to check that. in win2k its really easy to tell. just right click on the task bar and go to task manager.

in win98 or winme, you could try control + alt + delete and just view what is running
 
i just did msconfig..a whole lotta crap..i forgot about the ATI thingy in the systray. still only at 73% with my icq and yahoo and enterne running

hmmmmm 🙁
 
All running programs claim resource stack space, and some evil programs don't give it back when they're closed. Gradual shrinkage of resources leads to slowing down, and eventually the OS crawls to a halt. Can be tracked by running Resource Meter in the background. Only way to reclaim resources is to reboot. This is a good reason to upgrade to win2k, whose resource stacks are very much larger.
