Are there third party apps that help “handle” Resource-guzzling applications?
There are programs that claim to do this, but probably Win98/ME Resource allocation cannot be improved while maintaining full backward and lateral compatibility. Memory managers and Resource managers are, first of all, programs that demand memory and Resources! Secondly, they do not tend to work that well (if at all). And one thing that is certain is that they cannot increase Resources per se. Note that Win98 and Win ME releases Resources back to the system far more efficiently than Win95 did, though there are still limits to this and you ultimately will need to reboot. (My reboot cycle on Win98 was about once every 5-6 days of normal use, and on Win ME about every 1-2 days of normal use.
