When was the Windows 98SE installation done? It sounds like time for reinstallation. I suggest Windows 2000 for that PC.

I wouldn't suggest 2k for this guy. How's he going to get all his games running in it if he's green about even the pagefile?

lynx said 512mb, so set min and max to 512mb.

as for xp freezing, you musta not had it setup right...you need to install drivers and such to make it stable...if your no good at that then just forget it and stay with 98...

edot: computer is power ful enough to run xp, i have a k6-2 333mhz and a p3 550mhz both with 256mb ram running XP just fine. that is below your specs, so it must be fine on yours.

[Smith]

he has 512mb of ram and i have 384 mb of ram so shouldnt i put it at 384 min/max?

or am i rong, what evers gonna b best

No, he recomended for you to put 512mb...i would personally recomend something else but who cares cause im too lazy to find out which works best lol.

just set to 512mb min and max.

From what you&#39;ve said, it sounds like these problems have started occuring since you changed your hdd.

When you ghosted to your new disk, did you keep the partition size the same, or did you tell Ghost to create a partition which covered the whole disk?

If you selected the whole disk, you may have a cluster size which is not appropriate for 98. In any case, 98 is not too keen on partitions over 32MB.

Of course, it could simply be that you&#39;ve disturbed something when you put the new drive in, possibly that the IDE cable is not seated properly or even that you&#39;ve damaged it in some way during the changeover.
