Hey guys I am having a strange Win2k problem in my cabinet. I don't know where it's coming from b/c I haven't loaded anything new on recently. Anyways, it seems like everytime I run any executable, the machine just bogs down bigtime for almost 7-10 seconds before it does anything. Like if I try to startup ZSnes for example, the machine will slow down bigtime for a 7-10 seconds and then once ZSnes is running everything is back to full speed. I'm not sure if this is a hardware problem or what. Anyone got any ideas? |

Running any kind of anti-virus scanner? Maybe a recent virus sig update is causing the strange behavior. |

It sounds like you're having problems with either lack of sufficient RAM, incompatible RAM, or something's wrong with the DIMMS alltogether. Odonadon |

You could also disable everything else that you dont use and see what happens. Go to run and type "msconfig" and disable useless softwares you might not need. You probley know this but it works great for me. :) |

No anti virus. 512 megs ddr. Win2k has no msconfig but I know what you're talking about. I have the very minimal amount of things load up at startup. Might be bad ram. I dunno. Anyway to test ram without swapping it out for other ram? |
