Can anyone help me with this computer problem? Okay, last winter I added memory to my 2000 Dell laptop because it got intolerably slow. Things were better than ever. A few months went by, and I started getting a message in the bottom right of the toolbar- "windows paging memory file; virtual memory is low" or something along those lines. I ignored it, and everything was still great. Up until suddenly last night. I left the computer on that night, which I don't usually do- when I saw it this morning, the screen was still on the "DELL" opening screen. what the hell? I had left on a web page. Naturally I try to restart it (manually, the only way). After it goes to the dell screen it launches into, you guessed it, the DOS screen and a message says "Operating System not found".so I press ctrl alt del and it takes me back to the blue dell opening screen and I press f2 for setup- it says I have 0 mb of "_cache memory"Everything else has a non-zero value , for all the other types of memory.
