Memory Problem

[thesithman]

I added 128 MB of memory to my Dads pc. At first the second Memory slot wouldnt read the new card. After restarting the Pc or 50 times it reads it now. But noqw it wont load windows and a warrning comes up and says that I need to get a driver called XMS 3.95
If I start it in safe mode A nother window comes up and says that im missing something called HIMEM.SYS
I did a search and found 3 HIMEM.SYS But I can open them.

DO I Need to kill my self now or let my Dad do me in?

I looked at www.windrivers.com But now It says I have to pay to look for the drivers. Can I be helped?

What version of Windows?
What MB are you using?
Will it boot properly if you just leave the new stick in alone.
Maybe the sticks just don't play well together.
