RAM installing program shows negative ram, unable to install

[Guest]

I an attempting to install Intel Create & Share Software, the update disc for
windows XP. It is for camera model CS430.
The message I get when install begins is; "This product requires 32 MB of
RAM. Your system has only -1033 MB. Setup cannot continue."

I'm running XP home with 3GB of ram.

How can I install this program?

 

[Guest]

LOL, seems that this program is buggy and can't detect the real size of your
RAM, it detects -1033 instead.
this may sound funny, but try to remove 2 gigs of RAM and try to install it
with only 1 GIG.
You may also want to ask for support at manufacturer's web site.

Intel nolonger provides support for their cameras.

This program takes auto snapshots from the cam and post them to your website.
It's a security thing for when I'm away from home.
is it possible to disable some ram without having to physically remove it as
this would be a time consuming and complicated event for me. Too many cables
to connect...LOL
...or could you recommend a program to replace this one. Thanks

Unfortunatelly I don't know such a program.
There's not much work in pulling out 2 gig memory sticks out of the board
mate.
Since it's late here now, I'll try to think about that and let you know
tommorow.

But, the easier way would be to remove the memory modules before
installation. Make sure you remove the power cable before doing this!

So, zero cables to connect would be too many?

For testing use the /burnmemory switch in the boot.ini file.

Intel stopped supporting these products a long time ago, it might be
time to buy a new cam.

Start Run, MSCONFIG, BOOT.INI, Advanced Option, set MAXMEM to say 1000.
After done installing, uncheck MAXMEM.

OK Jim I'll give you a few details.. I must disconnect about 15 or 20 cables,
pull out the pc, open the cover, snatch out the RAM, then all above in
reverse order. This is because I made a poor decision of putting my
conglomeration in an armoire.

 

[Guest]

Probably should have bought a new cam...I just purchased this upgrade CD from
Intel then learned they nolonger provide support...LOL

Success... Thanks all.
