re: Question about 'Dealing with Bad Memory (RAM)' Saturday, January 18, 2003 at 4:19 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Elaine (44 messages posted) I havent added or deleted anything in quite a while. I have had Norton on here for some time and never had this problem before. How can I tell if something else is running in the background. I always close all programs and windows before I run the checks. I would get an error of some sort now and then and it became more frequent and now I get them half a dozen times a day. I have tried to notice what happens when an error occurs and as far as I can tell, I'm not doing anything different from 6 mos ago when things ran fine. Could the memory going bad cause all this?
