Guest Wolfeymole Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Hi Vonnie Welcome to FPCH This sounds like some kind of heat build up so I'd make sure the cpu heatsink fan is working properly. Where did you have all the guts replaced if you don't mind me asking? Quote

I think i may have a memory problem:confused: although the hard disk is showing 83% free space...when i tried to install Adobe Flash player Plugin a pop up box said i needed to fre up 5000kb of memory..... HOW ???? I have a 512 RAM card installed... Thank you for all your help.:) Edited February 5, 2009 by vonnie Quote
RandyL Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Hi Vonnie; XP ships with flashplayer for IE. Are you trying to update it to a newer version or are you trying to install it on the Firefox browser maybe? Also what version of Adobe Flash player Plugin are you trying to install? Are you getting it from the Adobe site? Memory and hard drive space are two different things. It sounds like it is saying you need 5000kb (5MB) of free hard drive space. Is your main drive partitioned to have programs on one part and data on the other part? 512MB of memory is plenty for Flash Player. You only need 128MB.
