Just out of curiousity, what is your site about?  Who are those

It's a personal website to go with a yahoo news group.

Trouble is if he follows a link to a website that wants to infect his

so. 

Now what does a gray seti icon mean and how many other colors can I
expect ? 

I do not know what the gray icon means.  I assume this is the S@H
program 
itself, not some addon like SetiDriver, SetiQueue, etc.  Which S@H
program are you running, the screensaver or the CLI (command line text
only version 

screensaver.

 Sorry.  Been away for a while.  Didn't realize it had been that long.

 I don't know why that icon would turn gray.  For one thing, I haven't used 
the screensaver version in quite a while.  You may be right that it was 
just a resource issue.  Icons in my system tray (Win98) will change colors 
when I'm running out of resources.  Actually, that's often one of the first 
signs that I have a real problem.  As others have mentioned, Win98 has a 
limited resource pool, regardless of how much RAM you have.  WinXP is 
better.  It either has a larger pool or manages it better or both.  I 
forget.  But it has its limits too.
 I suppose it's possible that the gray icon actually means something.  You 
might try looking around the S@H Web site to see if they mention different 
icon colors for the screensaver version.

for different versions.  Is the icon in the main body of the taskbar
or in the system tray?

And if there are pictures of the taskbar icons on your site, where
are 
they?  If there aren't, your "more pix" link is irrelevant and will

gray. It's a gray seti icon. It's green now [rebooted machine], and
the color it seemed had no effect on it's operation. Less it slowed it
down even more. 

cause confusion.  At the very least, you should say what the site has
"more pix" of, so people don't go there looking for one thing and find
another, completely irrelevant, thing.

pix = pictures. If I thought a gray icon had some sort of relevance
I'd actually made some sort of reference to 'you can see the icon at
my website' The link is meant for where I post the most in the image
binary groups.

 Of course "pix" meant pictures.  You may not have come out and said "I 
have pictures of the icons here", but your question about icon colors, 
followed immediately by a link to "more pix" with absolutely no 
explanation, could certainly be interpreted that way.  I know that crossed 
my mind when I first read it.  The "more" implies some connection to the 
current message.  At least, it does to me.
 I see you're trying to separate the "more pix" thing as a signature now.  
I still think some explanation would be appropriate.  <shrug>  Just my 
opinion, for your consideration.


 Regarding some of your other messages, it seems strange to me that S@H 
would bog down your dual-CPU system that much.  Normally S@H runs at a low 
priority and shouldn't really slow other things down, unless, for example, 
you were really low on RAM.  But I've never run it on a dual-CPU system 
either.  I wonder if the CLI version would be any better?  OTOH, S@H will 
presumably be switching to BOINC in the not too distant future, so it may 
be something of a moot point.
