I will take that advice and give him a ring tomorrow. Thanks Erin. He's fixed it twice already. And trusted him but Im a very dubious person and question everything
I will let you know how I get on. Cheers x

yes let me know,hope you manage to get it sorted

You may find yourself in the same position I was. Mine was about 6/7yrs old and had NVRAM, you cant get it now at all, anywhere! You need to find out whats in your system before you buy anything. Take it to PC world and ask them, its their own make.
Dawn.

To find out the type of ram download everest home edition, it will tell you the type of ram and all other hardware inside the pc.

It sounds to me that your pc is very old and not to be found on the UK advent support site.

So you'll need someone to have a look at it for you by the sounds of it that you have got a p3 processor and about 256MB ram at the moment.

To buy a 256 stick of kingston sd ram will cost you £15.98 or delivered to your door £26.70 and it is very easy to fit you can not fit it the wrong way at all as it will only go in one way.

Ive just phoned the guy who fixed my computer the last time and he was really helpful, he doesnt think the RAM will make much difference on its own. I need to get rid of Windows XP as it wasnt designed for this type of computer and the whole system can be upgraded for about 160 quid and work as new again but will need to have a look at it first.
So will be without a computer for a while. OMG! How am I going to survive?

I'll phone

And read me everyone's posts?

Aye sure.... If thats what yer into

yeah that sound right laura,he may put windows 98 on and some more ram.160 sounds about right too.
