Xolox eating up my system resources
 

I have recently downloaded Xolox and at first it looked like a good program. However, when I open it and begin searching, it absolutely eats up my system resources. I receive a warning usually about 1 or 2 minutes after I open it saying my resources are dangerously low. I don't think there is a problem with my computer. Here are my computer specs:

Dell Dimension 8100 1.3Ghz Pentium 4 Processor
128 MB PC600 RDRAM
16x DVD-ROM Drive
20 GB Hard drive

If anyone has had a similar problem or knows anything about this I would appreciate some help.

Does this thread help?

If not: How many MB of your RAM is free before/after starting Xolox? Which Windows do you use? Do you have the same problem with any other (filesharing) program, e.g. Bearshare, Morpheus etc?

I looked at the link but I couldn't find an answer. I am using Windows ME, downloading with cable modem, also have ZoneAlarm. I have not used Bearshare or any gnutella client before. The programs I use are Morpheus, WinMX, and Audiogalaxy. All of them work very well. I do most of my downloading with Morpheus and Audiogalaxy, and haven't had any problem with either one.

I am unsure how many MB RAM are free before and after. Where do you go to check on that?

On the link above has been mentioned a programm called MemTurbo, you can use this.

OK, thanks, I'll give that a try.

The problem is in your firewall, specifically ZoneAlarm. To solve the problem, either exit ZoneAlarm while you are downloading or switch to a different firewall. Sygate personal firewall works allright and you can download it from CNET (download.com). NOTE: if you are using ZoneAlarm and want to uninstall it, visit its website for detailed uninstallation instructions. Don't just use add/remove program. Otherwise, you could crash your computer.
