    virtual memory

    I have an old e machine running XP, and last week I was playing a game on facebook and it kept flashing up saying virtual memory too low and was being increased. Most of my system is free space, so I didn't understand. After a few days of this, my computer or monitor won't come on. On initial...

    Motherboard or not?

    Thanks to micker377, for having me try replacing the battery first. I was ready to order a mother board and after that suggestion, I spent $2.99 for a new battery and hooked my monitor back up to it and WOW I have a computer fixed. Wish I would have tried that before I bought a new tower. Thanks...

    Motherboard or not?

    Have already bought new tower, would just like to fix this one if possible for back up. Thanks for all your help and suggestions. If I find a board with same number, will I have to reformat?

    Motherboard or not?

    Thanks micker377, I will replace battery first. If I do replace the board, will I have to reformatt, or will it come up the same?

    WinME crash

    Before paying $79 for a full version of WinME on EBAY, what do I have to do with a start up disk? I have a start up disk, and it comes up, but I don't know what to do from there. I don't know what to type in when it comes up to different promps.

    WinME crash

    I guess what I am really asking, What is best to do. Since it is in limbo, would I be better off installing Win 98SE instead of WinME? It seems that 98 had less problems. I have a 98SE upgrade, but do I need full version 98 and install new, then upgrade to SE? I have an older Gateway hard drive...

    WinME crash

    Thanks Wolluf, but it was working ,but freezing up often until I tried to restore to an earlier date. Then in the middle of restore it froze again. Now it is like it is in limbo and doesn't know where it is. I can start up in safe mode, but don't know what to do from that point.

    WinME crash

    I bought a hard drive with ME on it a few years ago as a spare. It keep freezing up, so I went to system restore. While restoreing, it froze and all I could do was power down. Now when I restarted, it says no OS found. I don't have any disks with it, but I do have a Win98SE upgrade disk. What do...
