actually, you can run XP on 128MB of RAM, but you don't have alot of room to grow. i'm guessing you have too many programs that are trying to startup when you boot. my suggestion is to run a spyware/adware scan and remove programs from your startup using the Msconfig command. the computer should...

you might check the manufacturer's website for a BIOS Flash. Perhaps they have an update that will allow more memory.

Can you put the old memory back in and have it work like it used to? If so, the problem has to be the memory. there's no way around it. the memory that you got is probably bad. Besides, it's POSSIBLE that you might need a BIOS flash for it to support that memory. I would call Crucial and see...

actually, multiple hard drives is a tried and true way to go. There's a thing called RAID (Redundant Array of Independant Disks) that will allow performance increases and Redundancy (Fault Tolerance), but you have to have a special controller to implement that. Something that's important to...

You have Disproven yourself actually. Your own definition talks about a non-removable DISK, and then it refers to a hard DISK. I guess a solid state drive could be in the form of a disk. it would just be alot harder to mount in a 3.5" drive bay. This really is like the whole Engine Vs Motor...

no, SSDs are not a type of hard drive, they're Memory. that's what makes them so quick. Besides, you don't have a SSD in your computer unless you've got deep pockets. When SSDs are commonplace, i won't object to the terms Primary and Secondary Memory, However, those terms will be used as you...

The difference is that there is no such thing as secondary memory. It's either System Memory, or it's Hard Drive Space. Each one does something COMPLETELY different. People just tend to call the Hard Drive Memory because it "Remembers" Information. In any event, the hard drive is NEVER Memory...

Here's a link that might explain that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension This might actually be your Problem. Here's a Quote from Wikipedia: "Windows XP SP2 and later by default on processors with the no-execute (NX) or execute-disable (XD) feature runs in PAE mode in...

This might sound dumb of me to suggest, but have you made sure there are no disks in the drive when you boot? It might be trying to boot from an invalid boot disk. Another thing you can do is use your Recovery Console to do a FIXBOOT. There may be no need to reinstall windows.

Go to the Motherboard Manufacturer's WEBSITE and DOWNLOAD the drivers. They're FREE. Open the Computer, Look at the Motherboard, Determine who made it, find the Model Number of the Board (It will probably be right on the board it's self in BIG LETTERS), Go to the Website, and download all the...

Without knowing any more about your computer i think that Spikebuck77 Might be right. These days, computer are VERY VERY Cheap. you could get a whole new system at Wal-Mart for $500

You can get those Drivers from the Support Section of the Motherboard Manufacturer's website. Make sure you have your EXACT Motherboard Selected and know what Operating System you're Using. Those are Important.

You can reinstall if you want to.......... Just remember to have all of the appropriate Drivers Ready. If you don't, your Hardware won't work correctly. You'll need these Drivers: Audio Chipset Video Lan

You said this, Right?

I don't see how the Recovery Console would ask for an administrator Password. At Least i don't recall any passwords being needed. all of this should occur BEFORE you do any logging into windows.

Looks like you need some RECOVERY CONSOLE action. Pop that windows CD in and let it boot from it. When it gets to the Menu Screen that tells you to install windows or repair using Recovery Console, select the latter. At the command prompt type FIXBOOT. If that doesn't work, Repeat and instead...

What happened Elly? You had a Partition and then something went wrong. Was it something that was related to your earlier thread?

You can see exactly how much RAM you have by going to your Control Panel and Clicking "System". Right there under the "General" tab, you should see your CPU and RAM Listed. You should post those here for futher Diagnostics. It would also help if we knew what we were dealing with, so if you could...

There's some software that will allow you to do that. It's called Partition Magic, but it's pricey. There are others, but i have only had experience with Partition Magic.

You're welcome. I hope one of us was able to help you.
