Hello Dave,
Well, it has been an eventful day over here. See our original thread.
I received a virtual memory is low warning today - a real bummer.
By way of the msdn.microsoft.com site you suggested, I ended up on the
Microsoft Crash Analysis site. I located a document written in plain English
which recommended performing Windows Memory Diagnostic:
http://www.microsoft.com/smallbusin...how_to_avoid_out_of_memory_errors_3_tips.mspx
I have been trying to jump through all kinds of hoops today and ended up
having to change the boot sequence in Set-up in order to run the diagnostic.
Now I gotta go get a disk, but I now believe the problem is not enough RAM.
I wrote down a few values:
Memory: 128MB RDRAM
Video Memory: 8MB
Cache Size: 256KB
The numbers look low. Is it logical to assume this individual computer did
not need a lot of memory since it was originally connected to a network
server? The good news is the memory is upgradeable to 1GB. I only hope
upgrading is cheaper than a new computer.
I had no luck with Media Player 10 for win2000- oh well. And need to figure
out which version of Norton Corporate is on here.
I was able to correct the greyed out Automatic Updates and wished to share
the solution that worked. Below is a reply from Rob7 (8/23/05) of the
Windows Update Discussion Group:
-- In correcting the same problem, I found in this group that there are a
lot of
causes and solutions - but the tweak below worked perfectly for me. A post
from Thorgeir also confirmed that it works for Win 2000. Good luck!
" One of the causes of 'greyed' out automatic update selections appears to be
the new Windows Update verification tool install. When I authorized it, my
automatic updates were no longer accessible. The tweak provided at:
Windows Update Greyed Out - Restore (Line 179)
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
works just fine to resolve the problem "
Dave, thanks again for leading me in the right direction. I do not know how
you all do it, but a regular Joe like me is most grateful.
Be well,
Ten Toes NYC
