sherib said:Can I buy physical RAM in a tech shop and does it involve hauling the PC there? Don't think the problems will go away until I do that.

Result: The OS was corrupted and had to be reinstalled and the hard drive formatted.
The owners of PCDoc Pro said they would refund if the purchaser wasn't satisfied. I emailed them, told them what happened and the reply said "Something else must have happened". Doesn't look as if there'll be any refund. Of course I can't be certain that that program caused the crash but can it be a co-incidence?
sherib said:Regarding the comment about the OS being given to me by a friend. I still have the Me installation CD. Useless as far as I'm concerned because of all the problems with it. I was persuaded to buy Windows Me when XP was readily available on the market if only I'd known the difference then.
With hindsight, it would have been better to have purchased a licensed copy of XP in view of the waste of time and money since being sold out-of-date Me. At almost £2,000 in 2001 it wasn't exactly a snip.

sherib said:512MB —CT236434 SDRAM, PC133 CL = 2 Non-parity. Does that sound right? That I buy one upgrade, fitting it into the vacant slot - if I can find it, ending up with 128 + 512MB ram?
