some BIG problems in Dodge!

thanks all for the replies.........what a freakin day......

Found that the memory I gave him he didn't put in after all, I had him
come over and put it in (I know how to do it but it was HIS job).....he
turned it on, it started beeping..he said he'd be back....that was 8
hrs.ago........that is all it does now is beep.

I just now decided to take out the new memory and turned everything
back on, it still beeps and beeps.........




Before he came over and put the memory in I did find
my Docs and Setts are all skewed up,
No desktop tab on rtclick at Desktop/Properties
History won't keep while surfing, as soona s you close the browser, it
is brand new....
search assistant won't.
No local Settings or ApplicationData
half of my progs that worked the other day don't at all now.

I had my sfc/scannow all set up before, and now it doesn't so will be
going back thru that too.

It has XPHome on it, I am thinking about ripping the machine out by the
throat, ..............or maybe that is what I will do to him (hmm...now
THERE'S a thought)

So a couple yrs.ago I bought a brand new boxed student xppro for $10.00
at a garage sale, please let me know how I can install that......I have
all data backed up elsewhere, please let me know what all I can do
(above) and install xppro. Have never ever been at this crossroads
before. Am hoping this all will be a quick fix or two.

Much deep thanks.

Beeps are usually caused by bad video card/mem sticks or video card/mem
sticks not seated properly but in this case it sounds as if bad mem sticks
or mem sticks not seated properly. Don't just wiggle the mem sticks or
press on them. Unseat them completely then reseat them.

thanks for replying, I made very sure it seated real
tight......consistently, tried both memory slits, still beeps.

Some mbs require that mem sticks be in particular slots. Maybe not 1 & 3
for example but 1 & 2, perhaps? Maybe not 3 & 4 but 1 & 2?

Your tech fooled with the mem sticks. The issue has to be in that area.
Maybe a bad mem stick? Maybe incompatible mem stick?
