thank you so very much in advance for your courteousy and consideration in this matter. i hope you can help. here is some background on my 'puter.....
when i first received my baby about 2 years ago, i was told to format the hard drive and reinstall windows because it has a 'glitch'. well, of course i didnt listen and i have added hundreds of precious pictures and programs. my system has never been 'quite right'. it has only been annoying, not critical.
1. since the beginning i have gotten a big yellow ! in system properties next to:
secondary IDE controller (dual fifo).
2. lately, i cannot run my system resource meter at all. it tells me that RSRC32.dll is missing
i also cannot run search, the window opens but it will not search at all. no error message.
3. last thing, i had 64mb of ram until just about 3 months ago. things were sometimes slow (no, really. not as slow as you think.) i added another 64mb (for a total of 128mb which didnt really seem to make any kind of noticeable difference.) and now sometimes i get an error that says 'system resources are dangerously low!'
i really hope you can help me before i crash and lose my pics. i would do a backup if i knew how and it could guarantee not to mess up my pics. even then i would have to reinstall an external cd burner and i dont think my 'puter would like that. i am trying not to add much anymore.
Thanks again,
