    Symptom:

    1) Before Windows2000 starts, there is a message: The amount of system memory has been changed. press F1 to continue, F2 to setup.
    2) The speed of applications, drops down significantly.

    I have tried anti-spyware, but it doesn't work much. How to fix it? I don't want reinstall the laptop.

    Thanks in advance!

    Sounds like you have some ram going bad or is loose in the slot. Have you added ram lately?

    I did a google for your error message and found a page.

    Thanks. I didn't do anything on my laptop except surfing on the web. It runs slowly especially while running memory consumming applications such as office, JReports, etc. Maybe I have to request sys admin to reinstall it.

    It does sound as if you might have a ram strip going bad.

    You mean it's a hardware problem, not a spyware problem?
    It's a Dell laptop.
    Thanks.

    The link I provided was for a Dell with the error message you provided. Memory is either mismatched or some of it is going bad.

    Are you using a Dell? Look at the link above at any rate and see if this helps.

    Why don't you register here so you can remove your email address. Spambots will get it if you don't.
