Thanks,
I know that the memory chips are the same. When I installed them, I took out the old one and installed two 64 meg chips. At one time, It was recognizing the entire 128 megs, but now is only showing the 64. So either one has come lose (possibly) or it has gone bad. I have been in and out of the computer several times. This is one I rebuilt.
I thought I would reseat them tonight or tomorrow and check it out. If one has gone bad, I will replace it Saturday.
these last two months, the computers have really tried my patience and my knowlege with them. I have had to work on the computers more in the last two months, then I have in the last two years.
Last night while I was working on the computer, suddenly the Windows Explorer performed an illegal function and shutdown. I was checking something online. I was still online, but no Windows explorer ... couldn't use the start button to get any programs or shut down. then suddenly I lost something else. It was weird. Last week I had a hard drive total crash suddenly..no warning, just suddenly started making noise and then gone. When you tried to boot back up, it could no longer read the drive... Before that...didn't make any changes to the computer, didn't load anything, didn't delete anything, yet suddenly, a necessary file needed to start up windows disappeared.
Really strange.
thanks for your help and as soon as I get into it and figure it out, I'll let you know what happens...or if I need more help, I'll be back.
Really appreciate all your help.
have a good day
