Hello!
How much memory does your motherboard support?
If you remove the RAM what happens?

That's an XP registry error almost certainly caused by the new memory
if everything was OK before. Make sure the memory you purchased is
the same speed and type as what is currently in your machine. Also
consult your manual to see if you purchased the proper memory.

Windows is very fussy about RAM modules being exactly matched. You need
to go to a top source like www.crucial.com (who are not expensive) and
get a module that really matches your present one - their advisor
program will help.
