Hi There.

specs

MB: KT400-ALH
Graphics: Geforce 4 Ti4800 SE

I have this little problem and im hoping you could help me out. I have 2 sticks of 512mb ddr 400, there both the same make. Now when I have both installed, I boot up windows 98se and my graphics wont work, I see a dark screen with loads of colours and it boots to destop but I have no graphics. Now I took one stick out and booted up and my graphics worked fine and comp run good, I also swaped the sticks over to see if one was broke, but they both worked ok on there own. so I tryed windows xp with both sticks installed and it works fine for some odd reason. I hope you can help me out cos im in a right pickle here. :)

I have also tryed 2 sticks of pc2700 in and it also dont work with win98se but works with xp. :(

Thanks. Bryan.

Use the MaxFileCache setting in the System.ini file to reduce the maximum amount of memory that Vcache uses to 512 megabytes (524,288 KB) or less.

Open the System.ini file in a text editor, such as Microsoft Windows Notepad.
Go to the [VCache] section.
Change the MinFileCache= and the MaxFileCache= settings to the desired value.

NOTE: The value for these settings are in kilobytes. For example, if you want to create a 50-MB cache that cannot exceed 55 MB, the lines would be as follows:

[VCache]
MinFileCache=51200
MaxFileCache=56320
