69 RAT I think the program that shows my CPU reads it as more use than it really is.Because my PC runs pretty well considering its processor is a pentium 3 450 MHz.My internal dialup is a "winmodem" that uses the cpu.

69 RAT This won't help your problem but I thought you might like to see my device manager & its network adapter list.If you use Alt & print screen at the same time it will only do your front window.

billybob12345 What are you trying to get everest to show you?I couldn't tell from the post. Does the sensor key ineverest show temperature? I know it does in some PC's it doesn't in mine so either mine doesn't have a sensor or its not working. I ask because it sounds like your buddy wants to overclock your PC .If you OC you sure need to be able to know your PC's temp.Read the Temperature topic because if you OC you will need better cooling at least better internal fans including a CPU fan which you probably don't have right now. There is always some risk of frying your motherboard & before someone posts I know some are able to OC with great success but some have problems too. So find out what he intends to do to your PC then web surf & check out the changes he plans to your PC before doing them.And go slow try one at a time to see if it causes problems.

billybob12345 Thats correct the new 512 should handle the memory storage better so it should be in the # 1 slot.My PC BIOS screen shows my memory slots at boot up so I know which is the first slot.If yours does it should be easy to tell if the RAM memory you have now is in the first slot. If for some reason your PC seems to slow down(which I doubt it will) you can try it with the 128 in the first slot. On your buddy building his own stuff .I won't say he can't do it but I doubt if he has the same clean environment they use to build computer parts.If he's that tech advanced then his time would be worth far more than he would spend buying the best cards.If he doesn't have a job paying him that much then he probably doesn't have the tech skills to build his own cards.

I checked out the NASA World wind its compatable with my OS but its 180MB & theres no way I can DL it with dialup.Not that I couldn't let my PC work on it long enough but my ISP has a 5 hour limit per session.I can reconnect every 5 hours but that doesn't help with a DL that large.

I went ahead &DLed it but like I thought it wouldn't work for windows ME.For those with older OS like mine use.

[move] HAPPY BIRTHDAY 69 RAT

69 RAT :Windows should detect & reinstall anything you delete.If you put in a driver for anything that did not use the one in windows but needed its own driver.You might want to make sure you have that driver on cd or floppy.In case deleting the hardware removes the driver.Otherwise windows should have the information to reinstall the hardware.I guess it might not if a file was corrupted that it needed. At this point you might try the suggestions I made in the quote below I know it isn't the key cak46 was talking about.But I still think it would be worth a try.

Looks right to me CAS Latency even matches the 128MB you had in your PC.Just a sugestion since you have 2 memory slots you could probably use the 128 MB too for a total of 640MB. I would put the new 512 in the # 1 slot so it the first RAM.

Orignal_Cronicus :This might be the topic you're looking for. https://testmy.net/forum/index.php?topic=2141.msg20913#msg20913

organ_shifter : Looks good their DL was too busy right now it said to try later.I checked & I don't think it will work on windows ME.Specs say 2000 up.

billybob12345 : I think MYRIAGON explained the 133/266 problem.I found a couple of links at Dell .At least if you have a Dell Dimension 4500S.One is for memory sticks you can buy from Dell these match what we found at crucial,newegg & Kahlon.The other is the specs on the Dell Dimension 4500S. http://search.dell.com/results.aspx?cat=all&s=gen&c=us&l=en&cs=&k=Dell+Dimension+4500S+ http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/dim4500S/specs.htm?c=us&l=en&s=gen&cs=#1104273

billybob12345 & cak46 : All the PC2100 RAM I looked at said they were 266 I don't know why Everest detects it at 133MHz.The information at Micron Tech by part # even showed the old RAM stick should be 266MHz. billybob12345 Do you have any specs on your PC that says what speed your RAM runs at?

testmyisgreat :Spybot S&D is supposed to remove the TIBS dialer according to their site. Aparrently TIBS is a dialer that you need to get out of you OS.You need to call you phone company that your dialup is through & see if you are making high cost calls through this dialer. this is something you should do immeadiatly.There is all kinds of information on removing the dialer I really don't know what is correct.But I am including somethings I think might work.

billybob12345 : I went to Micron Technology the company that manufactured the RAM you now have & searched the part number.I copied it & I will paste the information below.I also copied their comparible 512MB & specs on it.The had a buy button but when I tried it it just gave links to their retailers.It looks to me like the RAM you found is correct but the information I found is in even more detail so it should help you compare 4512D6C5h Micron Tech. 8VddT1664AG-265B1 MT8VDDT1664AG-265 Overview Part List & Data Sheets Technical Notes Specifications Density: 128MB Pin Count: 184-pin Version: Unbuffered Package: DIMM Speed: PC2100 Configuration: 16 Meg x 64 Data Rate 266 MT/s CAS Latency: 2.5 Votage: 2.5V Component Config: 16 Meg x 8 ECC: Non ECC Module Ranks Single Rank Package Type Lead Plated Component Count: 8 Part Status: Production MT8VDDT1664AG-265 16 Meg x 64, 8 Components per Module Part Number Notes Speed Config Data Rate Latency Voltage Comp.

billybob12345: The pc2100 memory in your system is 133MHz the memory found at Kahlon is pc2100 (266MHz) .If the memory you have in now is the original I think you will need to replace it with a 133MHz .I will look at your other topic & see what newegg suggested if its posted there

testmyisgreat: I will have to see if I can find something on the tibs problem.It looks like a virus so its a system problem.I can usually help with tweaking dial-up.So I will see what I can find & edit I don't know if you can even stay connected long enough to download the 2 programs I am going to suggest. If you can DL them & use them as suggested below.You need to disable your System Restore before going to safe mode the virus may be hiding there if you disable System Restore Your antivirus should get rid of it in safe mode.With it disabled the virus that may be in system restore will be gone.Then run your antispyware in safe mode at the same time.Do this even if you can't DL the 2 programs I suggested.Then reboot into normal & see if you can connect & stay connected without the tib showing up. First you need two programs(freeware) you can download they are Stinger &CW Shredder.then start your system in safe mode.All this will be done in safe mode.Run your AV let it clean what it can,run CW Shredder,Run Stinger,then run your anti spyware program clean what it finds.Restart your PC to normal mode run your AV program to see if it finds any more viruses . http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ http://www.intermute.com/products/cwshredder.html

billybob12345: Here's a link for Everest http://www.lavalys.com/products/download.php?pid=1&lang=en

billybob12345 : I like the kahlon site to find memory.I am going to put a screenshot of my memory chips as shown by everest to let you see the type information it gives you on what you already have in your system.It will show the full details on all the memory chips but there was only room for 1 on the screen shot.

coknuck : You're welcome I have to do some web surfing on XP since I don't have it .Maybe by the time I get it I will know something about it.I had to sift through some bad information while finding the links I posted( or at least it looked like bad information to me.) VampireXxX : I still think you need to find why Spybot is using up your virtual memory & can't complete.Not so much so you can run spybot because it sounds like your pretty protected from spyware.But because it shows you don't have enough virtual memory & thats probably just a matter of getting it set correctly.Unless your hard drive is completely full. It is probably close to running out all the time & this will affect your performance in other areas. So you need to find out why it is so low.

billybob12345 Do the search at kahlon I like their search better.See what they say you should have then compare prices with newegg.Kahlon does not always have the best prices. Did you ever get Everest to help you Identify what you already have? http://www.kahlon.com/

VampireXxX ; Sorry the 1.3 didn't help .Are you trying to run in MS DOS or safe mode .You should try to run these in safe mode not msdos.I don't have XP I have ME I think your virtual memory settings are

LilAznHobo & technoia I've used the dslreports test before.It shows my distance at 16500 feet But I called my phone company & they say my line is 26600 feet to far for dsl.I beleive the phone company gave me the correct distance.So I would call the phone company that your dsl service will run through & find out the distance they say it is.
