Memory Problem,HELP!
Hi everybody,
I'm having a really weird problem with my PC...when I install software (like Nero,MusicMatch, Acrobat etc) it'll run them for a couple of timesbut then it'll pop up an DOSlike window saying the program is too big to fit in memory...if I reinstall the program it'll work again for a while but then nothing.....I'm using XP but I had pretty much the same issue with Wndows98 but the message in 98 was "not enough conventional memory". I've tried pretty much everything from messing with BIOS or virtual memory....nothing works...I have 64MBs of RAM which used to be more than enough for my needs withXP or 98....this problem just occured overnight...so any help would be greatly appreciated... Thanks in advance |

Memory Problem,HELP!
64 MB of RAM should not allow XP to run correctly. I believe that 128MB of
RAM is the base limit of memory needed to run XP, with all the services and start-up programs running. Y. "Zois" wrote in message ...

It is possible to get it to run on 64 MB of RAM, but it will run
extremely slow and you are going to run into the same problems you are seeing. I would highly recommend taking a look at the computer you are using and decide if it is worth it to purchase more memory or purchase a new computer. Anything slower than 500 MHz, I would not even consider upgrading. ----- Nathan McNulty Yves Leclerc wrote: 64 MB of RAM should not allow XP to run correctly.
