I have a Sony VAIO VGN-130G with upgraded RAM to 4GB even though it says I only have 3. I have recently installed AutoDesk Inventor and I'm having problems running it. I have minimal other programing, some poker programs and Microsoft Office and Sonic Stage for Mp3, and I just want to know if I can Upgrade to get this program to run or should I just look at getting a new machine?

Is normal 32bits Window will only regornize 3 GB RAM while your BIOS will see all 4 Gb Ram. For Autodesk issues please contact the Autodesk Inventor forum

Well, you could get a bit more memory if you have a supported chipset. That doesn't sound like the autodesk issue. Repost on that problem. See event log also for more clues if it reports to the logs under application. Playing to the angels Les Paul (1915-2009)

Thanks jefro, although I must confess that I don't understand with most of your answer. I have built a Desktop tower before and replacing a processor or video card in a tower is pretty easy I guess I just don't know how upgradeable a laptop is. I also agree that the AutoDesk program is not the problem and that its just my VAIO is lacking.
