I need 256 memory rm, i have 64 mb memory module.

I need to expand my screen resolution I have 640x480, but need 800x600.

I can't change my font.

I went to display to do the changes but can't. I installed the AOL 8.0 but the screen is to big and graphics is either fuzzy or have black areas.

First in order to upgrade your memory you should contact the computer manufacturer in order for them to tell you the correct RAM you need.

Second, to change the resolution on your screen click start, settings, control panel and double click display Go to the settings tab on the far right In the box labeled Screen Area you can adjust your resolution to 800X600 When you do it a message will pop up basically asking if you want this setting and the screen will flicker You can just click ok and the screen will be the way you want.
