It should be OK with just either one of the sticks in... maybe slower, that's all...
What I would like to know is with just the 64MB in, does it show 64MB
Then we know for certain it is the 128MB stick which is showing short...

I will put it on my to do list for tomorrow.
Since I last wrote, I have been checking out a program called autoruns from sysinternals. Are you familiar with the program?
I ran a scan with all options checked and it was unbelievable how many programs and registry entries are run at startup. I realize that a great many are necesary but it is hard to believe that they all are. I saved logs of the scans so if you are familiar with the program and have the time and inclination to look at it I will be happy to post that as well.
I thoroughly enjoyed your site as well as some of the others you listed. I have not had time to check them all thoroughly but have already benefited from my limited time there. I have bookmarked them all and will be spending some time there. Thank you for your continuing efforts at educating another newbie. I just hope I can retain all of this new information.
Thanks again for all of your time and effort

Hi
Yes I have the autoruns program, a lot of programs run in the background and are neccessary...
Depending on your configuration and the programs you have installed, your autoruns will be unique... there may well be programs and files running which I do not recognise ... unless you think something doesn't look right ... it would take a lot of time to check it out, on the off-chance....
If that's the ASAP link you are referring to... that isn't my site, but it's a good site to look round...I thoroughly enjoyed your site ....
Actually this is my site :- http://www.help2go.com/forum5.html

Thanks to steam:D ,
Turns out the 128 stick is bad! I will have to get new one. May just get two since I am so short on Ram. May resolve the majority of my issues.
I thoroughly enjoyed your site steam. I have bookmarked it for continued reference. I am learning a lot by lurking in these forums and checking out all of the info sites recommended in them. Hope my brain can take the strain of all these new wrinkles.
Many thanks to you steam, you have been a Godsend.
Thanks for your time and efforts, they are appreciated more than you know.
