I am trying to play wav files on the insta buttons. They worked a-okay before, now they only work the 1st time until I play any audio or kma file. I use a program called Ultramon to give me my dual display and it works great also. I have very few programs installed on the laptop. Just Hoster, Excel, Songverter, True image (for cloning), Wordview for songbooks, McAfee A/V, The only programs running with hoster are Hoster and Excel. I am cujrrently uninstalling all other programs. Thanks again Alan

These two items "384 mb ram, mobility radeon 7500 video card" are your major problem. First the absolute minimum required is 512MB and the recommended minimum is 1GB (XP) and 2GB (Vista). Second is This type of Video card uses Shared Memory, meaning it borrows memory from the computer memory, but with the small amount you have, there isn't much to borrow.
The memory you are getting from Ebay, is it specifically for this laptop? Memory has to be exactly what the laptop or desktop motherboard requires. Anything else will not work and could cause damage to the ram or motherboard.
Do you have Roxio or Nero installed on it? (Usually comes with the computer)
