Tech Specs -
Processor: Pentium 3 (497 MHz)
BIOS: PhoenixBIOS 4.0 Release 6.0
Memory: 256 MB
Hard Disk 1: 37.27 GB
Video: NVIDIA GeForce4 TI 4200 Ver. 6.13
Connection: Toshiba Cable Modem PCX 1100U
I recently upgraded my older computer by replacing its old 13 GB hard drive with a 40 GB hard drive. I decided I would install Windows XP instead of Windows 98 on it because Win98 had some stability problems. After spending a couple days trying to upgrade the BIOS and solving other numerous problems, I got Windows XP installed. Now I'm not sure where the problem lies. I have it connected to the internet with the USB connection on the cable modem because the ethernet cable goes to my newer computer. After being on for about 3-10 hours, it can't connect to the internet. I checked the network status and when I tried to repair it, it said "Failed to query TCP/IP settings of the connection. Cannot proceed." Then if I do much more than try to open internet explorer, it will say "Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service." Keep in mind that I haven't been opening much more than Internet Exporer or sometimes Microsoft Word. I just recently upgraded the memory from 128 MB to 256 MB and that seemed to help it a little but it still freezes up after a while. I'm wondering if there is a memory leak somewhere...or possibly it has to do with the USB connection on the cable modem.
