Windows ME requires a SYSTEM.INI patch to run with more than 512MB without strange problems like not having enough memory to load and run some programs, and it sounds like you have not added it.

Use NotePad to edit the C:\Windows\SYSTEM.INI

Find the [vcache] section (it should be empty)

Add the following line:

[vcache]
MaxFileCache=524288

Save and reboot system. Then try adding the additional memory.

Micro$oft reference Q253912.
