To launch System Monitor, select Start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | System Monitor. Windows will then install System Monitor.Īs soon as you install System Monitor, it’s ready for use-you don’t have to restart Windows first. Select the check box and click OK to close the Accessories dialog box, then close the Add/Remove Programs dialog box. Click the Windows Setup tab, double-click on Accessories in the Components list box, and scroll down through the list until you see the System Monitor icon. To begin, insert the Windows 98/Me CD into the drive, wait for the CD menu, and then select Add/Remove Programs.

However, the Page File Data Logger tool won’t work correctly in Windows 98/Me.
