Take out the extra memory and do the following, then put the extra memory back in:
(Borrowed from another website..)
Click START then select RUN and type in the text box "sysedit" (without the quotes)
and click the OK button. The system configuration Editor window will open which
will have 5 other windows within it.
Each windows has a title, so click on the one that says "c:\windows\system.ini" to
bring it to the front. Now scroll down until you see the entry
[vcache]
Normally it will have nothing under it. You need to type under it
MaxFileCache=256000 so that it looks like this...
[vcache]
MaxFileCache=256000
If you do not find the [vcache] entry then just do the above at the very bottom of
the entries so it is the last one. Then from the very top select FILE then select
Exit. The computer will ask you if you want to save the current changes, click
the YES button then the window will close and you are done. Now reset (restart)
the computer..
