Perhaps it is refering to pagefile, either that Or Windows cannot use the 16GB

Run the resource Monitor.

ok sure... but are you referring to the reliability or performance monitors?
if you'd be so kind as to give me specific instructions, i'd be glad to present you with the information you need

hello...well i'd like to report that i've finally resolved all my ISSUES :)
1) about the no name in my start menu...i realised i'd SET the start menu to hide the link to my (administators's) docs....so that was dumb that i didn't recall i'd done that...

2) about my windows freezing for some reason quite frequently...thru processes of elimination, i discovered that windows just didn't like my graphics card driver,,,even though it NEVER indicated that to me thru the event viewer or anywhere else...
i got 2 new graphics cards which i'm very happy with....the NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT which i'm planning on SLI'ing once my bridge gets here....this card is amazing...very low profile, doesn't even need an extra power supply, and is quiet as a mouse..AND powerful...
vista seems to love it..i also have 3 monitors now to split my desktop between...
3) i'm not exactly sure what the memory error problem was but it seems serivice pack 2 resolved THAT also...

i also just got 16 GB more memory. so now my system has a total of 32 GB

i'm planning on posting some pictures in the VIEW MY RIG thread...erm..i think that's what it's called...

anyway thanks again for all your help..
