I type in directions from vancouver to sydney, NS and I get 86%+ cpu usage and it's very slow, the local maps seems ok.....

Have you updated javascript ? (Windows9X-KB917344-x86-enu_4c464424131f78738e4fd10b72452f7.Exe)

I had an application using google map and it was systematically crashing in jscript.dll when displaying the maps. It works fine since installing this update.

Maybe it is the same problem somehow.

No I don't have that at all.......I can't even find it for 9x

Ok thanks, I installed windows script 5.6 but it did'nt help with the map.....not sure I might have had that already, that a 2006 update ?



**Js9xen.inf added

Ok I seen Spool32.exe running with a listening port so I removed the Js9xen.inf and went back to yesterday on my scanreg/ restore.

I cant stand that spool thing........guess I just won't use the map for now, thanks anyway.

could it just be windows 98 doesnt like handling stuff like that? it always was a mem hog. dont wanna sound rude, im just saying.

Well I'm not sure, I have the same problem when I want to liten to a audio file on IE, it pretty well freeze's until it's done buffering.

The whole thing is IE's fault.

Anyone have issue's with mozilla or opera?

Xp has issue's too but it just shut's stuff down and say's there's an issue, 98 I have to do that myself......not that big of a deal, I want to go opera anyway's.
