karlunity Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 "I was given a Dell inspirion 41 laptop. Now this is a Pen lll and was made for XP yet it has problems: All goes well on the format until it reaches 52% then it slows to almost a stop. It can take two hours to finish the format and than when it starts all goes well till it is almost done...than it reports missing program..and stops the install.I have tried several XP disks and the same problem shows up.BUT it will install SUSE Linux and 98 se with no problem." I put in another 512 MBs of RAM for a total of about 635 and now it accepts and runs XP with no problem. Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
