fooling the software

Have bought 7150 photosmart printer; it says minimum system requirement 64MB RAM; I only have 28MB; how can I fool it into thinking I have 64MB?

When I try to install the driver software, it says insufficient RAM

    Registry hack perhaps? But then your applications may try to write to memory addresses that aren't there... but I doubt even that will work as I believe windows checks for RAM available after each start...

    If you are running PC133 you can probably get 256MB for less than 20 bucks.

    Yeah sorry, that was supposed to be 4GB.

    My old PC-XT had a 10MB hard drive!

    and here i am complaining that my 1.85ghz athlon xp isn't fast enough. seriously, it's time for an upgrade man, at least buy some more ram. pc133 is dirt cheap these days.

    I sure hope that you dont try to print any photos on that computer. One week for a photo and 28mb of ram in the system?

    Get at least a 128mb module, 256 is even better.
