Hello, I have noticed that I am losing memory from XP, it has never happend
like this before with any other OS I used. If it did, I was able to recover
it, and also found out what happened to it. But in XP, I couldnt trace what
happened to it, nor could I recover it, I just recently installed Windows XP
Home Edition Service Pack 1, then installed Service Pack 2 (it made alot of
things slower now, and after the installation of service pack 2, i lost 1
GB). I defragged the computer, use disk cleanup, and done all of that, also
deleted some unimportant documents (online services, etc...) but nothing. I
have 3.91 GB left out of 12.5 GB. However, I entered C drive, and selects
all the files/documents (Programs Files, Windows, Documents and Settings) and
clicked properties and I got size 6.82GB and size on disk 6.90 GB. But I did
the math (12.5-6.9=5.6GB), and I should have 5.6 GB left, not 3.91 GB, so
therefore, I am missing 1.69 GB. So far, everything has been running very
slowly, and all I have on here is three games (Call of Duty, Doom 3, and
Americas Army), and now I have to pick which one to get rid of to make up
this shortage and lack of speed. Oh and my computer is self made, consisting
of:
Radeon 9000, AC97, Athlon XP 2200, and other stuff I dont remember. Oh and
one more thing, I had to call up Microsoft cuz the computer didnt accept the
product key to activate it (even though it accepted it during installation),
I was wondering if I could get that key back they gave me, and how do I
register it?
Thank you!
.
