When booting up WinME, I get the message og Not enough memory to run windows. I have a KT7 mobo, 800Mhz Athlon, 128MB PC133 RAM. The error is sporadic and I have tested the memory chip and it seems to be ok.

It could be to do with your swap file.
You need to make sure that Virtual Memory is enabled. ME will boot with a 64mb swap file, by the time that it has loaded it will be around 128 mb and then its size depends on how much you load at startup.
YOu may be looking at 200mb of swap file when your started.
Make sure that you have sufficient hdd space. Ideally 1gb. If you can put the swap on a seperate partition all the better. Its faster
Other wise, try running MS Config and remove startup items.
Oh and when it comes up with the error, before you reboot put a startup disk in the floppy drive and boot onto it without CD support
Type :
mem /c /psee what that says.

Is your memory 100% Athlon compatible this sound like something a lot of user have come back to me with when the memory they have is of the cheaper unbranded type new amd chips are very picky about what memory they like.
Could be the swap file but I doubt it I take it you don't have a set swap file if you have make sure its set to 2x your memory, I don't want to contradict mcpt but I've found putting your swap file on a different partition can cause a s--- load of problems although i am sure I'll be flamed for that one.

i agree with the message above. ME does like the swap file one the same drive. try defragging. could be a faulty ram chip. hard to tell without more info.
