You need to follow instructions given to you.
Read carefully at this link: http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic62524.html, which I provided before.
It has step-by-step instructions how to use memtest.

broni , i have a memtset file on the desktop but to big to send i went to the place you sent me and it will not let me download , harry

by the way was the last file i sent ok ?

[Broni]

Harry
Did you read my link? You need to create memtest CD.
What do you want to download, since you have memtest on your desktop?
What file did you send, and where?

[harry 48]

ok i will start again

the file i posted on page 2 here

[Broni]

Reply #, please.

i followed as far as i know what was said

took the file and burnt a cd and ran it ( 3 times ) and it did not go

so i tried and looked for boot and can not find it

[Broni]

Is your computer set in BIOS to boot from CD?

[harry 48]

i do not know what it is or how to do it , sorry

[Broni]

When your computer starts, at some point, you'll see at the bottom of black (yet) screen:
Press "some key" to enter setup.
Press "some key", and you'll get to BIOS.
Look for "boot order", or simply "boot". You'll see something like this:

Make sure, that your boot order reads:
- floppy drive
- CD drive
- hard disk
