I did install the new (largest) module in slot 1. so if you were me, you
would also remove the 256MB module in slot 2? My desktop specs are: 2003
Emachines C2280 AMD Athlon, 1.79GHz, WinXP Home SP2... when I do windows
update now, it reboots too...! What antivirus program do you use?

the largest size module closest to the CPU in Slot 1 or A. I would
just install/use the single 1.0 Gigabyte module.
If NIS works for you count your lucky stars, not everybody is so
fortunate. One thing you'll never realize is how fast the PC can run
if it's 100% Norton Home product free.

Yes, both the original and the addition are PC2100 DDR RAM sticks. I have
2
RAM slots on my motherboard so I had 2x 256MB RAM in there. I had to
remove 1
of them in order to get the 1024MB stick in there. now I have 1.25 GB of
RAM.
Would it matter which of the 2 sticks I removed? (Originally my PC came
with
1x 256MB, so this time I chose to take the original stick out, not the
other
one which I added previously already). I have never had any issues with
NIS2007 before; it is also installed on this laptop and it works great. Is
it
just a coincidence that NIS2007 happened to mess up right after I
installed
my RAM? I wouldnt really look forward to take the 1GB back out and put the
old one back in because what would happen then??:(

I wouldn't say the RAM works perfectly. Obviously if you are having
BSODs/abrupt reboots that's cause for concern. Are you certain the
memory is speed matched and uses identical voltages ? There are all
kinds of checks for memory ( BIOS timings, Dual-Channel mode )
that might factor into it a little - but it's likely that the two RAM
sticks
have some subtle difference that is causing the faults.
That's a new one even for Symantec, adding memory forces the user
reinstall the software. NIS is a non-stop pain to deal with, You'll never
have a stable/fast computer while NIS is installed.

yesterday I upgraded my PC with another 1GB of RAM and when I started
it
up
after the installation, my Norton Internet Security 2007 said it had to
be
removed and reinstalled! so I removed it and now when I click on the
downloaded file i still had, it gives an error or it reboots! And when
I
do
Windows update it also reboots! The PC is fast now, the RAM works
perfect,
but I lost my antivirus protection and windows update! whenever i try
to
reinstall that stuff, my PC reboots! How can I fix this?????
