Ram Issues

[Skimmons]

Heres the deal, I jsut upgraded my pc from 128mb of ram to 256. Im happy with the upgrade but theres one major problem. My computer FREEZES constantly now. If i run any major programs it freezes and windows isnt even that reliable. Is there any way I can fix this or is it jsut bad ram??

you most likely have to much in startup and you probably have spyware onboard too...

go get ad-aware

OK... this is going to take a while for me to sort thru... do you have Ad-aware? Run it if you do & delete anything it finds.
webHancer is spyware...ad aware will take care of it

 

[Skimmons]

Yes think so

 

[Skimmons]

Not exaclty sure though

 

[SavvyLady]

OK... go to start / run/startup ....REMOVE THE CHECKS FROM THE FOLLOWING....

Ahh.. I cant run startup.. Im jsut a meat head apparently. How do I do it?

 

[SavvyLady]

then if you have not already done so... you need to do a critical update .

After Sept 8... people using WinME can not do a system restore unless they have this Update
There is a bug in System Restore that may cause your system restore to fail after September the 8th 2001, if the following patch is not applied.

Download 290700usam.exe (249KB)

Not your fault... I left out a step again.... when you have taken all the checks out...click APPLY & then click OK... go ahead & reboot & get the ad-aware at http://www.lavasoft.de

Make dang sure you get AD_AWARE & RUN it.......delete everything it finds.
Do you have an updated virus scanner. & do you use it daily?
