@srayner: "I have Windows 98 (first edition) and I'm troubled by very slow
foreground (active window) response every few minutes. There seems to be
a background thread that is soaking up processor time and also doing
some disk I/O. Both mouse and keyboard response during this time is VERY
jerky.
 Is there any way I can find out what is going on?
 This seems to date back to the time I increased my RAM memory from 128
to 384MB, but I don't how this could have caused such a thing. 
 I do have a virus checker and I believe my computer to be free of
viruses. I'm not on a LAN. I am connected to the Internet via an ISDN
link.
 Any ideas?

well , you can hit  control-alt-delete   and see what's running
also, try going back to your original RAM
sorry, i can't recall, but there was a chipset that might have had a problem
with add'l ram"
