Re: Faulty reg. of physical memory

Hello Jerry and Daave,
Yes my first confusion is the faulty reg. of Physical Mem. 4,2GB, figure
from Windows System Tools prg. "System Information" (name translated from
Danish).

Reason for concern: My 3GHZ PC is rumming slow, also display slow in
updating and some times freeze completely after which a mains switch off is
required. Wondering if the 512MB of RAM is degraded or do I have to add RAM.
Further after Start Up during launghing Windows "No Disk ......" is
popping-up 2 to 3 times.

Bach ground prg. I switched off were: VNC Server, HP Digital Monitor, TV
Remote Control, Power Cinema, Quick Time etc.

Task Manager before switch off above programmes: Nip.exe 37000KB,
npcsvc32.exe 37000KB, Nvcoas.exe 19000KB, explore.exe 18000KB, hpqste08.exe
11600KB, svchost.exe 9300KB, etc.
Commit Charge before switch off above bg. pro.: Total 738900, Limit 1277136,
Peak 748056.

I do not run msinfi32.exe!

After switching off all background programmes, still I have only 80MB
available out of 512MB. The system information have registred Physical
memory
to be 4.224,00MB or 4,2GB. This cannot be correct as the memory is
512MB!
There must be a fault somewere - can anyboddy help me?

Which programs did you switch off? Also, you are still surely running a
number of background programs/processes. Run Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del)
and click on the Processes tab. Click on the Mem Usage tab twice and you
will see the largest memory users at the top. Anything of interest?

Where are you getting this 4.2 GB figure from? Are you running
msinfo32.exe? If so, what is the value next to Total Physical Memory?

Is your PC not performing efficiently lately? Or is this just out of
curiosity?

Finally, if you *don't* switch off these programs, what are your Total,
Limit, and Peak values under Commit Charge (the same thing Gerry asked
you)?
