if you go to control panel , then click on the system tab it will tell you how much ram you have installed under Memory ( Ram) , suspect it will have only 1014mb ( 1Gb) and vista could really do with a minimum of 2GB to work well
post what you have on yours and what model Advent PcEx forum ambassador
