if your computer is less on ram , then use the freeware antivirus avg free
Reply:It is most likely your video card using 32MB. Your best bet is to look for another AV program that requires 96MB or less.
Reply:Actully your RAM is 128 but Windows will show it as 96 because you have graphacis card on your motherboard or say onboard graphics which uses 32MB as graphaics memory.


All you have to do is upgrade or add a new grfx card


Or the solution is but you would get your complete 128 but 120MB RAM all you have to do is enter BIOS by pressing Del key while booting and change the Memory size to 8MB or 4MB from 32MB





Hope you like cheap solution answer

Reply:If you have an onboard video, then it shares the ram, which is why it is showing less than you have installed, only way to add more is either get more ram or get a video card that suits your system..


Other than that, find a Anti-Virus that meets your systems requirements
Reply:check that it is installed right with the antivirus software you have to re-issue it every year i use MacaFee and its pretty good compared to Norton
Reply:add some ram. video is taking some ram, so 128 is not available. cummon, ram is cheap nowadays
Reply:the 32 mb is shared as graphics memory.Don't install a anti-virus which need 128 MB RAM on a 128 MB computer...it will slow ur computer .Try to install avg 7.5 (not avg 8 as it need much more memory)
