    The Disk in Drive F is not formatted!!!! It was yesterday...

    A Reformat should fix it, but if it happens again, send the Hard Drive back for a replacement if still under warrantee. However, I don't think you can retrieve the data...DO NOT REFORMAT UNTIL SOME MORE PEOPLE HAVE REPLIED - THERE MAY BE A WAY TO RETRIEVE THE DATA!

    Computer freezes after memory upgrade!?!

    The problem is likely due to the 2 Sticks interacting with each other. Either they don't go well together, or, by using 2 Sticks, you are consuming more Power than your PSU can supply (2x256MB takes twice as much Power as 1x512MB Stick...it's not the size, but how many you have and what Speed...

    Runs slow

    What's "Win 98 XP Home Edition"? lol... If you mean Windows 98, then your Memory is adequate, and I would run Adaware (Search for "Adaware" on Google). If you mean XP Home, then you may need more Memory, but I would still advise trying Adaware...

    pc will not boot

    Isn't it better to turn off the Power but leave the Power Plug in so that if you have any Static Electricity in you, it goes back through the Earth Wire without damaging equipment? (Of course, this doesn't apply for European or US Plugs as they don't have Earth Wires - UK ones do)...

    Problems Starting Windows XP

    Yes, try that. If it is an XP Boot Disk, use Chkdsk If it is a 98/ME Boot Disk, use Scandisk. It should fix it, if not, report back.

    Problems Starting Windows XP

    This happened to me, and everytime, whatever I chose, it rebooted after a brief Blue Screen. What you need is to choose the one with something like "Command Prompt" in it (perhaps "Safe Mode with Command Prompt"), and then run chkdsk. One of your core System Files has become corrupt and is...
