message re memory amount change
Every once in awhile when booting up my computer I get a screen with the
message: Amount of Memory Has Changed and I'm given the option of continuing or going to setup. I have no idea why this happens, tho it seems to be connected with my Avast anti-virus program updating itself as I didn't install anything new. I have no idea what this means or what I should do about it. I have simply hit 'continue' and my computer boots up as normal but everything runs excrutiatingly slow for the next hour or so then seems to settle down again. This is driving me nuts. What should I do? I have Vista home premium.

What should I do? I have Vista home premium. If you're receiving the message from the BIOS (before Vista starts loading) it suggests a hardware problem. You could try removing the ram, cleaning the contacts and reinserting it. If the problem persists you may have a failing ram module.

Yikes! Sounds awful. Don't know how to remove the ram or what happens when a
ram module fails (does my computer crash?) but maybe I can find someone to help me. thanks for your input.
