Thanks but................I only use my PC for simple s/sheets, e-mail & photo enhancement. I am advised that the problem is with the startup memory cache (?) in windows ME. On start-up & shut-down, there is a photo showing (I can't find out where it resides) and I think that may be the problem. I seem to be losing operating memory fast.
However, taking yr point re
RAM, I am new to all this. Where do I get
RAM from & how do I add it?? Does it mean 'opening the box?? I have a 5 yr old self build PC & wonder if it's coming to the end of it's days. Jimbo.
