I have seen what you describe when my computer was trying to draw on more memory than it had available. There is a dreamy effect where fragments of unrelated tasks flicker in parts of the screen. Reducing the number of active programs was an immediate solution, and adding more memory solved the problem permanently.
You might verify that the additional memory you recently installed is in fact being recognized by the computer. In Windows 98, right-clicking 'My Computer' and selecting 'properties' brings up a screen showing (in the last entry) how much RAM is installed. I'm sure other operating systems have similar ways of checking installed RAM. Whether it shows the right amount or not, if you still have the problem, I'd remove each new chip, clean the gold plated edge connector with a pencil eraser, brush off any residue, and reinstall the chip. It could be that one or more of the tiny plates is not making contact with the socket leads. Bill Sullivan __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
