Well, you do have 2 x 1024MB RAM sticks, right? If so, what's the problem?
Are you encountering any boot-up problems or BSODs, or anything in particular?

Most likely memory then. But you'll need to let Memtest run all the way through, and not stop it because it, and I quote, "slows down"

That doesn't really mean your RAM is supposedly damaged.
Your RAM could be an insufficient amount, and therefore causing issues.
What are your settings for your Virtual Memory too?

Look in Control Panel.
Click System, and on the Advanced tab, under Performance, click Settings, and then Advanced and you should see Virtual Memory.

Just concerned, if you have JUST BEEN encountering these issues or ...?
All those times, you were running all those programs you have listed, you never encountered any issues, until now? Or, are you experiencing these issues when you have just started using all those programs at a time?

| My computer would always let me run those programs even more. Like I could also have like Adobe Premiere pro plus iTunes in there and I wouldnt be a problem, but after I download the game, it doesnt let me.

Thats your problem, you have no space assigned for a page file. Even people who choose to have no pagefile (with 4-8Mb or RAM) always leave an emergency amount for the system to use. Personally, I would use a seperate partition to hold your pagefile. See if you can click on the 'recovery' drive and let windows automanage the size. If you can't or have problems, just choose the standard Compaq/C: drive and set it on that one instead. Reboot and test.
Mozilla, its pointless to ask a question about something like virtual memory, but then when you have that info not give any suggestions regarding it. Its always easy to give instructions for where to navigate around windows, but takes a little brainpower doesn't it to actually work on the details...

Your RAM isn't* damaged, you just don't have enough. It's trying to page as a last resort, but you don't have a pagefile enabled for whatever reason. Give at least a 4GB page, and invest in at least another gig of RAM, preferably 2GB more.

Actually you can run a your OS without a page filie. for xP you need at least 512mb of ram 1GB is better. Vista don't know but have at least 2GB.
@OP to check for ram, run memtest86+
Note: the long test my take 24hours.
or if you got Vista, insert your Vista DVD, boot up from it and click on repair computer. In there you will also see a memory tester.

I didn't say you couldn't. I just said, some of his problems could stem from not having enough, especially with sub-2Gb of RAM under vista
I wish people would properly READ my posts before responding with a counter-claim. Peace.
