I needed to edit a movie on Pinnacle and as it was editing too slow, I decided to buy and add extra ram myself (was only 1 g). Since I loaded 2 more gigs, when i switch the PC on, I have now to wait 10 minutes before it opens the internet pinnacle and other programs.
I have tried moving around the memory in different slots, but now even by putting the original back as it was, still does the same. Did I perhaps damage anything?
A technician friend checked my PC and said that I most of my files and programs seem to have been compressed, possibly by mistake and this must be the reason for the slow start. I tried to recompress what I can see (in colour) but I can only do it one by one and I have given up. I have Windows XP Pro. Intel Processor 1,86 GHZ at 6300. there was memorY: 2 times KVR667D2N5/1G, plus now: 2 times: KVR66702N5/512
I hope I dont have to reload my PC.
Can you advise what I must do?
Thanks
