First you have to find out how big your RAM is, not in terms of capacity, but in terms of how many pin. Once you know how many pins your RAM is you can purchase new RAM from many places online or locally. Before I go any further, I have to know if your PC is a Computer or Notebook. If its a computer, you will have to take off the casing to expose the internals of the tower. That is where you will see your RAM ports. Usually there will be 2-4 places for RAM to be placed. There will normally be a fulcrum that will need to be pushed or pulled on both sides of the RAM (long ways), once you pull/push those down you can safely remove the RAM. You can tell because it will pop out a little bit to let you know its coming out. Pull them out, and then simply push the new RAM in its place, you should get a POP sound when its in place and the fulcrums/levers should adjust back to the way they were previously with the old RAM by themselves. After thats said and done put your tower back together, and turn the computer on. Please make sure that your motherboard is capable of handling the new capacity RAM you have purchased first though. Also make sure computer is off when you do this.

My computer does slow hesitant and sometimes

Perhaps you were downloading the NET Framework 2.0, which is a system-related component and helps mostly with Microsoft-related desktop and online applications.
However, I don't believe NET can be the cause of your PC's unreliable performance. Make sure you always keep your security in check, check this short text on how to use free software to beef up your computer security and protect yourself from viruses, spyware and hacker attacks.
Then, regularly clean up your computer from unused software by uninstalling stuff you don't use, and lastly perform Disk Defragmentation (Right-click the C-drive in Windows Explorer, chose Properties-Tools and click Defragment).
Do the security checkup and disk defragmentation at least once a month and that should take care of any security issues and performance lags.

If this text was informative and helpful, please reward it with a Thumb Up. Thank you.

When booting up my computer it goes to the error

1. check to see if your pc is compatible with the software. You didn't specify if you are reloading or installing for the first time.
2.You didn't give hard drive capacity or any information about the Pc you are loading Windows on.
You may not have enough capacity on the hard drive to load the full XP
Wndows xp requires about 2 GB of hard drive space then at least 10 GB of space for swap files and operation files.

Wont start up

well from my experience the little colored wires are the power supply they go to box with all the other wires that look just like it will go to cdrom or dvdrom they only go on one way the wide multi wire goes to hard drive this looks just like the ones that go to your cdrom. they could be different thickness some have twice the wire's the big key is the multi ribbon has a color wire on one side that the side that faces the power line. first you need to boot in to bios by what ever your computer tell's you to do. once your in bios look and see if it lists your hard drive. if it lists it as your secondary drive on your primary socket you need to unplug the thick cable at the hard drive and plug it back into the other connector on the same ribbon. on really old computer's than run windows 95 you would have a real little 3 or 4 wire connection that goes from the HD to a spot on the mother board.

The installed Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-R2312 does not work.

Try removing the drive from the machine (when it is off) and let it boot...Look in device manager, make sure windows knows that the device is really not present. Now, shut down, and put the connections back in, ensure that they are tight.

Then, try this:
  1. Click "Start", and then click "Run".
  2. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click "OK".
  3. In the navigation pane, locate and then click the following registry subkey:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
  4. In the right pane, click "UpperFilters".

    Note You may also see an UpperFilters.bak registry entry. You do not have to remove that entry. Click UpperFilters only. If you do not see the UpperFilters registry entry, you still might have to remove the LowerFilters registry entry. To do this, go to step 7.
  5. On the Edit menu, click Delete.
  6. When you are prompted to confirm the deletion, click Yes.
  7. In the right pane, click lower filters

    Note: If you do not see the LowerFilters registry entry, unfortunately this content cannot help you.
  8. On the Edit menu, click Delete.
  9. When you are prompted to confirm the deletion, click Yes.
  10. Exit Registry Editor.
  11. Restart the computer.
Now, look in My Computer to see if the Drive is listed.

Now, through this little registry edit, some cd/dvd programs may not function, do not worry, you will just have to re-install the programs, such as itunes, roxio, nero, and some others

How do i change the toolbar theme?

Go to start, then control panel. You will either see “pick a category” or a page with around 30 icons to select from. If you see various icons, look to the left of the page and select “switch to category view.” Click on “Appearance and Themes.” Selecting “change the computers theme” allows you to change everything according to a package or you can use the tabs to select each feature. Below “Pick a task” are options for the display and taskbar (which I am assuming what you mean by the “toolbar.” If you are talking about something else, please clarify.

Registry disable

Need more information, on the problem.

If your computer is still booting then your registry would still be working. So when you say its disabled, how do you come to that conclusion?

Are you just trying to use regedit? If so i can provide a download. If not just need to know  what message or  program is  giving problems.

My compaq 610 windows logo is stuck during booting and even if I want to format it. Any help?

Windows 7 should be the OS. If you go to safe mode, it should complete booting and then you can list the errors but I suspect there is a driver error. Maybe the wrong version in there.
