Windows Encountered a problem and needs to close.

[nateboro]

I just installed some new ram.  And now I'm getting this notification every time I try and open a folder either via the desktop or even trying to go through My Computer. 

Info from Properties of My Computer;

System:
     Microsoft Windows XP
     Professional
     Version 2002
     Service Pack 2

Computer:
     Intel(R)
     Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.53GHz
     2.54 GHz, 1.75 GB RAM

I know I could probably take out the RAM and the problem would go away... but I want to know what the problem is because I would like to have all the RAM possible.  Note: When I installed the RAM I had to move my DVD drives around due to the size of the bottom one getting in the way of the RAM slots.  So all I did was unplug each swap locations then plug them back in.  Don't know if that has anything to do with it.  Thanks for any help.

If the problem didn't exist until you installed new RAM, you have to remove it to see, if that is the problem.
BTW, your computer is infected, and you're running two AV programs, AVG, and Norton, which is not good.

You may actually...
