IEatHardDrives Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 Go into you BIOS and find the video and disable it, and there might be an option to turn off memory sharing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was told this was done but came back on (re-enabled) itself for some reason several times.. Try it anyways or go the BIOS route Tapping on the Del Key when the eMachine logo comes up..
