Any way to get memory for computer?!

[Sean P Kelly]

Personally, I don't think you should be telling him to buy RAM if he doesn't know how to open up the computer to install it.

My advice for the computer illiterate: Bring it to a computer repair shop

[Irby]

Oh you have to open it? Well theres a guy who set up the computer so maybe he might know.

[Josh123]

Nothing to see here.

[Ace Mercury]

You see, there's no point in opening up the case if you're not going to mess with something.

Identify what and where the RAM modules are. Sounds like you have four modules already (128, 128, 128, 64 MB sticks add up to 448) so you'd have to swap those and replace those with larger modules (say... 256). Just take 'em out and take 'em into a store; say you want more of this type. Or, buy a new computer, goober.

But, seriously, I think it's a software problem. Go to task manager and kill as many processes as you can muster without causing system instability. (good luck )

(If you want, you can get Hijackthis and post the results here; that could help.)

[Sean P Kelly]

or you can check in msconfig (you can run it using "Run" in the start menu) to see what processes open when windows starts up.

Though you would probably have to look up the processes on the internet if you want to know if it's ok to remove them.

It will give you about 1 or 2 or 3 GB'S.

Looks like various bad things. pmkhf.dll and winbjv32.dll seem like trojans, but they seem to be taken care of. If you have a legal copy if WinXP, you shouldn't have to worry about WgaLogon.dll. The "SSODL: incestuously" is just confusing, but doesn't look like it's there anymore anyways.

How is Trickster, anyways? Is it free?

1. If you need RAM, deleting stuff isn't going to do crap.
2. To reduce RAM, stop unneeded startup processes. Open up Start>Run. type in "msconfig". Go to Startup. Uncheck all of the ones that you KNOW WHAT THEY ARE and don't need to start up (Quicktime, Adobe Acrobat, etc.). Look up all unknown ones in google by typing the process name into google and the extension, for instance, the Intel Graphics driver would require typing "igfxtray.exe" into google. There should be a link to what it is. Use good judgement. Don't uncheck any drivers or security software.
3. Comeoneman88, crack kills.

GAH!!! I delete stuff but I still dont have any motherf*cking memory!!

It sounds like if you ran out of memory that quickly you have an old computer. Go buy a new computer, or install another hard drive. If your computer sucks though I'd go for the latter.
