I get "Out of Memory", or "insufficient memory" Error Messages with Large Amounts of RAM Installed. well thats the problem and i have 768MB of DDR Ram, Window Sees as 768MB but DXDiag Sees it as 64.0MB, whats the problem, it was 15.0MB before i took my old hard drive out ::weird::

what os?

[soulja]

Os Is ME for right now. but even when i had 2000 and Xp Same thing

what programs do you have running in the background? are you doing anything when this error pops up?

me is not the best os out there for memory management, of course it said it happened in win2k and xp. who makes the ram?

[soulja]

well nothing runs in the backround. and the ram is a DDR made by umm, i forgot but it was in a gold plastic case that i bought from Staples 4 weeks ago. it work ed but ever since i formated my hard drives and partioned em, this came up

You have to make some changes to Me if you have more than 512MB of RAM or you'll get that error. Try removing one of the DIMMs and see if that stops the problem.

It's interesting that you were getting that problem in 2K and XP, though.

[soulja]

ya i removed it and its still the same. i tried removing the 512 and see if the 256 shows but nothing. then the 256 and nothing for the 512

What is your pagefile (or swap file) set to?

[soulja]

and what is that ? and how do i change it or view it

Right click on 'My Computer'. Click properties. Go to 'Performance'. Click 'Virtual Memory'. Let us know what it's set to (it may be set to automatic, let us know then too).

You may have bad RAM. Try downloading Memtest86 form www.memtest86.com , getting a blank floppy disk, and loading the program onto the disk. Restart the machine with the disk IN the drive, then let it run at least 1 pass (2 if you get errors) and tell us what the results are. If you get many, many errors, you may have bad RAM.
