This explanation is invalid, IMHO. I've never heard of Windows software
preventing the installation of hardware. A more likely issue is that the
128 MB DIMM that you are installing is incompatible with the memory already
in your system; i.e., a hardware issue. If you check the memory
"installed" when the 128 MB is added, I'll bet your computer thinks it's
less than 256MB -- probably, a lot less.

This is not all that serious; your icon cache -- a method Windows uses to
save time when accessing icons -- has been corrupted. This happens to me
about once every 2-4 months. I use a shareware program called Microangelo
Engineer that can rebuild the icon cache. There may be others out there
that do the same thing.
