Recently i was just spysweeping my pc with webroot spysweeper
it showed 15min remaining at the same time Super RAM s/w was also running. So i just turned off my monitor & left it alone.
After i came back the resolution was 640*480 and it was not changing back to any other reso. I formatted my pc & installed WIN ME again. Now the resolution is fine but the device manager displays 96MB instead of my 128MB RAM.
Can anyone help me plzzzzz!

Hi Philip,

How much ram does your machine display on booting up (during the post process)?

If it says 96mb then one of your memory sticks has paddled up s**t creek.

What's the age of the machine and do you know the configuration of your memory (ie, how many sticks of ram you have).

Does you PC have built in graphics card, it may have been activated and used upto 32MB to store graphics info from main memory. If you have a AGP card, you can turn off the built in card from bios.

Yes it has onboard graphics!
But what do u think of the SuperRam software that i was running at that time!
It might have caused due to that!
This s/w frees up RAM frm time to time!
Thanx for replying!
I really appreciate it!
