Resource Allocation Question

[Todd Suess]

Greetings Fellow VNC'ers,

As a recent newcomer to VNC, I have enjoyed the program a great
deal and highly commend those who saw fit to create and maintain it.

I noticed something that I thought strange while using VNC to remotely
view my home desktop from work via dialup.  The host machine is a Win98SE
machine with 96 megs of ram.  I had resource monitor running, and my resource
levels were never below 25% user/system and roughly 50% GDI.  However, during
my VNCViewer Session I would constantly get warnings displayed on the host that
"90% or more of your system resources are currently in use.  Close unused 
applications
or your system may stop responding".

So at first I closed several apps and got the resources to about 40% 
User/System and
70% or so GDI free.  But I still kept getting the error, so I closed 
everything except
WinVNC and my connection, so I was hardly using any resources at all (at 
least according
to resource monitor), but I still got the error several more times, it 
seemed to come up
especially when screen refreshes were asked for, or were occuring on their own.

The video card in the system is a Voodoo3 2000 PCI, if that is relavant at all.

If anyone else has noticed this, or has any idea of what might be causing this
behaviour, please let me know.

Thanks!

Todd
