I installed a stick of Ram 256mb and the computer turns
on and sounds like it's running but XP doesn't boot up is
this a XP proplem ? I only had a 64&128=192 of ram when i
upgraded to XP.

Sounds like a memory stick problem.
is it seated properly?
Is it the right sort of RAM?
 
yes to both questions i frist replaced the 64mb with the
new stick 256mb then used all three slots the only way xp
boots is with the dimm ram removed .Whats this i heard
about reactivating through microsoft?
 
your computer may not handle 256mb in one slot. you may have to get another
128mb stick
