Thought I would update you on my conflict problem between Avast and CallWave internet answer machine. I am getting a message saying I do not have enough memory to play my messages ater they are downloaded to my computer, but this only happens when avast is running.
I used the memory defragger that Steve recommended. Thanks to your help on this forum, I figured out that my friend's 128 mg of ram memory would work in my computer, and yesterday my son came home from college and showed me how to install the new memory myself! It took about 5 minutes, wow, now I feel like a computer techie
We also discovered that my hard drive memory was about used up, so I deleted a bunch of files and freed up a few gigs.
All this and STILL I get the same message that my computer does not have enough memory!! My son said it might be a conflict in drivers. He also said that Avast seems to work like a firewall in some ways and that could be the problem. I could not use McAfee firewall and CallWave together at all.
However, though my son could not resolve the conflicts between these two programs, he figured out a quick and simple work around that allows me to listen to my messages by going into the Callwave folder where the messages are stored and clicking directly on the sound files, so basically my problem is solved anyway!
And even better, my computer runs really fast now with my extra 128 mg of ram!
So I'm really happy...Thanks all of you for your help. I wouldn't have got this far without you!
