Dumping memory

[BPUR]

I have an old computer (pentium-33, 64 mb ram, 4 gig hard drive), and am having a problem with it on startup. The typical blue screen comes up with the message "memory being dumped, memory dumped". I know very little about win-2000 and have never seen this problem before. Any suggestions????

Thanks

A memory dump is W2k's equivalent to W9.x's BSOD. Your description of that system leads me to think that it lacks the necessary horsepower to run 2000,(I assume that by "pentium-33" you mean pentium 133Mhz.)

Please post the exact text of the message.

Microsoft's site indicates that your machine meets the minimum requirements but just barely:

133 MHz or higher Pentium-compatible CPU.
64 megabytes (MB) of RAM recommended minimum; more memory generally improves responsiveness.
2GB hard disk with a minimum of 650MB of free space.
Windows 2000 Professional supports single and dual CPU systems.
