Anyone help me,I have a laptop and the same problem as theabbey in the respect of low virtual memory.Is it possible to buy external memory like usb plug in?

I have 60GB HDD
Intel Pentium 4 processor 3GHz
256MB DDR Ram

Cheers if anyone can help I will try to reply ASAP
(problem being our lass jumping on lappy on Facebook evry five mins,lol,when my back is turned).

Low virtual memory means that the windows memory paging file or swapfile is running low, either by having to low a setting in your system settings or not enough physical hdd space to accomodate the swapfile, usually if it is to do with Physical Ram it tends to give you a windows is low on resources error

emachines are notorious for being royal pain in the arse machines to work on. try looking around the intel site, do a search in google for your mobo model number and find the intel based site.. lots of info and software and possible answers

Here:- Intel® Desktop Board D845GVSR - Intel® Desktop Board D845GVSR support

[theabbey]

Yep thats just what i am doing. On my traves i downloaded driver detective and it says i got 13 drivers out of date mmmmmmmm

[theabbey]

I am on emachines site and now i dont know what series my comp is lol. I know its 2230 and a desktop but not sure if its eseries , monster series.tower series etc...

[RB]

does it have a model number on bios bootup usually at the bottom of the screen

[RB]

The model is almost identical to the t2240 series
The more i read about these machines the more i dont like, very similiar to gateway machines in design and spec. the emachine e2*** range of machines use a specific chip build type of ram, so off the shelf standard ram wont work.
There are stockists but it looks exspensive compared to standard ram

HELPPPPPPPPPPP i aint a clue what i have done but i went in bios to look and touched nothing and now my windows is loaded in screen res 640 by 480 and colour is 4 bits lol And i cant change it as it says default monitor on ? Oh this looks fking dreadfull. Once i get this screen res back I am quitting this thread.

it looks like the driver has tried to load and failed and windows has defaulted to vga driver. reboot into safe mode and remove the driver and then reboot the system

[theabbey]

How do i get in safe mode and how on earth do i know what driver to get rid off ? Everything my end is terrible my eyes are hrting trying to read these replys and things are crashing.I knew i f*** this up.

keep tapping F5 or F8 then take the safe mode option and remove the display driver from system remove all listed drivers under display

windows by default loads a bog standard vga driver that is compatible with a 99% of all videocards.

Try this :- its emachines own GFX driver :- eMachines Support: Product Support and Downloads
seems they even had their own drivers modified...(#@#@#@#s)


Or try the email option stating you have a 2230 modeland require the specific Vga and chipset drivers.

[theabbey]

can i press on enable vga ? when i went to start in safe mode There was this further below .just said enable vga
