I've got a laptop which on startup states "The amount of system memory has changed or the suspend-to-disk file is absent. Refer to suspend-to-disk in the online users guide."

Well, the online users guide says squat, windows bombed so bad we had to format and reinstall, the bios has been reverted back to factory defaults, I can't seem to get into the mbr, plus I'm going insane!!

I'm out of options - why in the hell would the system memory have changed - why is it making everything bomb?? HHHHHEEEEEEELLLLLLPPPPP!!!!

Thanks for all the help, very appreciated, turns out it was the suspend to disk file. My user somehow made it go away??? Oh well, everything seems to be on the up and up now.
P.S. The laptop is an old off-warranty Dell Inspiron 3500.

Thanks again!

How many mwmory modules in the Laptop? More than one? Swap positionns and try again. Try one at a time. Also, boot up with a Windows 98 or ME reference diskette to see if you can access hard drive and CDROM. Was your format/reinstall succesful?
