Well, I simply stuck to the maximum amount recommended for my setup with XP Home.
I'm more than happy with the improvement I've achieved with 2 X 1GB matching modules. I've no interest in going for anything more.
Mike, if you've just bought your memory from Crucial, I'm sure they would accommodate you if you wanted to return some as incompatible, or change the configuration.
You get nothing in this life if you don't ask. Might be worth a shot.
Thanks Dennis, Yes Crucial offered to take back or change, but I am happy with the PC now and have already sold on the spare Module. I also would reccomend Crucial

MemTest86+ and/or Microsoft Windows Memory Diagnostic (enable the extended test in the MS tester) can take any guess work out of the equation. And ideally test one stick at a time with a least one pass.
all the modules have been tested and Aok

if you purchase malware bytes for 25$ is that a lifetime subscription?
how good is their online protection?
Yes it is lifetime
Its the best malware protection allround that you can get

If you have the time, try loading the pc with just one stick then trying another each boot to ensure they aren't faulty.
Thanks, but have already tried that.
I believe from a lot of reading in various tech forums that this is related to the amount of memory in the graphics card mine is 1/2 gb. However, the PC is now happily performing on 3gb although this has resulted in it operating in single channel rather than dual channel

He should still be able to inset 4GB into the system without it crashing it just shouldn't recognize the full 4GB.
MikeW it maybe worth looking at a firmware update for your motherboard,
just remember with any firmware update you risk rendering the item useless
which may or may no be covered by the manufacturer warrentee.
Thanks for the idea, but the mobo does recognise the 4MB the pc will boot normally with the 4 1mb modules but them XP Home will not load. If I then remove any one of the modules XP Home then boots up fine

I have a 64bit System. I'm using a 32bit OS now with 4GB RAM. It only recognizes 3.25 GB. If I used a 64bit OS it will recognize 4GB right?
Yes thats correct. I use XP Home but it would not operate with 4GB had to reduce to 3gb but, this has improved performance over the original 2GB.

They are an impressive company. I ordered at 3.00pm yesterday it arrived this morning at 10am.

Who said it was rated high? But I guess its better than nothing. SAS or MBAM are much superior

Try using the windows install clean up utility, but make sure you only check the programs you want to uninstall.

Just going to be so hard to get users to move to Windows 7 when updates will be provided for XP until 2014
I dont understand why you think users should. I for one, will stay with XP as long as it lasts.

I would like to see the default search as internet. Plus the ability to select which country to search

The release notes says it addresses 2 bugs in the "classes_security" category, however, I don't see anywhere where they say this is a critical update. I wonder if it really is? Has anyone installed it yet? Did it remove update 12 automatically if you had that installed?
swagger
Yes it did say it was removing old files, and ver 12 appeared to have gone. However. after running Javara it found lots of left over files.

Thanks for the info rr1165.
I don't know where you downloaded your v10.21 when Microsoft only offer Process Monitor v2.04. And a web search doesn't show anything.
Proccess explorer upgrade

Be careful to un-select the Toolbar, Ask.com and eBay pre-selects.
Update from within Foxit program for trouble free updating

Hi Jaums.
Quite often the windows installer clean-up utility can resolve this problem. Down load from link run the utility if quark is listed check the box and run. Make sure you only check the program you wish to uninstall.

Download Javara - http://raproducts.org/
Use remove old versions tool . you may have to run the windows installer cleanup again. then try to down load the new java again
