Well, THANK you! And I'm glad it worked!

 

BTW, nowhere in your original post did you say "I clicked on SETUP.EXE on the DVD."

 

What we're observing here is "Running OS is consuming Memory so Upgrade has insufficient, therefore booting to DVD and allowing Setup to use any and all Memory works, since no Running OS is using any". See? There's why Tripredacus said what he said. THEREFORE, we now have the logical explanation of how it was attempted and why it failed. <sheesh!>

Exactly!   

 

Finally the logical explanation came on this world. 

That's what I got in mind from the start...
