Memory

The more memory your computer has, the more processes can be running at once. Don't try to fetch more JPGs then you have memory available. Monitor your computers memory usage with Task Manager when tuning the JPG Fetcher. |

Folders that are full of JPGs and been Slide Show generated can be copied to CDROM for achieves. |

Although Perl Ball runs on all Windows platforms, Windows 95-98-ME lacks the true multi-tasking of NT-W2K-XP. |
