re: Freezing and memory Sunday, January 9, 2005 at 7:01 pm Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Jack Gulley (5917 messages posted) Windows ME really needs 128MB of memory to run will, but it will run with just 64MB, with only very random hangs. Windows is a Virtual Memory operating system and uses the disk drive for additional (slow) memory. It really only has to have 32MB to boot and run real slow. Adding more memory would not hurt, but it might not help either. If you have added new programs recently or allowed Spyware/Adware programs to infect your system, they they can use up part of your memory and cause crashes. You also have the possibility that you now have a bad memory module. You have to run a standalone memory test from a boot diskette to check this possibility out. You may want to reduce the number of unnecessary startup programs on your system. Such as word and office, PCHealth, Taskmonitor and others.
