There are 2 types of memory, one for laptops and one for pc.
Your additional stick seems to be for pc from what your saying.
Additional thoughts:
I'm sure you can buy sticks for laptops at walmart or whereever you bought ur laptop. Just make sure it is the same speed type. Example: yours is 512mb ddr PC 5200, you will need to find PC5200, the 512mb and up you shouldnt have to worry about. So do your research before you upgrade or you will burn your laptop.

Need original disk to reformate
if your computer didn't come with a windows disk then maybe it has a recovery partition on the hard disk if it does then there will be an option in it to format your hard disk and replace the windows files, if you have a recovery partition you can access it by repeatedly pressing the f10 button whilst the computer is booting up, just when the bio codes start appearing on screen after you have pressed the on button (not from standby), it is recomended thet everyone backs up all their files and photos, music, ect and formats their computer every couple of years to clear out all the rubbish and speed up their computer. as for backing up all your files etc well you would be best to buy a piece of custom software such as Nero as this will make it much easier but as you wont want to spend a fortune on this you could always use your DVD drives own burning software, just right click on any icons of the files you want to save and chose send to, then from the next menu chose (send to) DVD drive, depending on the amount you want to save you will need several cd's or one dvd.
EDIT - just another thought, if you dont have a recovery partition windows software allows you to make ONE recovery disk in case you lose your windows disk go to the start menu, then all programs, then system recovery, next recovery media creator, have some cd's or a dvd ready and a cd pen so you will know whats on the disk in case you need it in a couple of years time.

How to start wireless in Toshiba Satellite 1905 s
What you need first is to install the wireless driver for your wireless card in your computer. If you don't have one you need to purchase a wireless card.
Then read the following info to decide what type of Internet access you require.
Wireless connections to the Internet can be achieved by several methods and it depends upon the method of delivery by the Internet Service Provider in your location.
The most common is by DSL and cable, the modems that are used with DSL and cable connection can have a built-in wireless router. Your computer will require a wireless card to connect to the modem/wireless router and the range is restricted to approx. 100 ft depending where the wireless router is located within the building.
The laptop's wireless card can be a built-in device or a plug-in device eg a PCMCIA card or a USB device. and these can also connect to a wifi hot spot in locations such as McDonalds. Star Bucks etc.
There is another method that can connect into the Internet that uses a USB wireless device that connects to a G3 network, bacically a type of mobile transmission and the device is locked into a specific Internet Service Provider. This method gives a wider mobile range (even across states) of connecting to the Internet but usually at a higher cost.
Basically you need to see what the Internet Service Providers offer in your location. Beware of the costs of the various plans they offer in broadband speed, their download limits and the penality for exceeding the limits etc.
When you decide which method you choose, you need to consider setting up your wireless network securely to prevent unauthorized access.

Can't switch on a laptop
this may be too late for you, but I had the same problem with my old toshiba laptop. The support person I talked to had me take out the battery, leave the computer plugged in and push and hold the on button for 10 - or 15 seconds. She said it discharges something or other and to periodically run the computer without the battery. Sometimes my screen just goes blank on my new computer and this always fixes the problem.
Good luck.

I need to replace the hard drive in my Toshiba
The ATA-5 Specification barrier
According to the ATA specification, any drive over 7.88GB (8.46 billion Bytes) is supposed to report its "geometry" as 16383/16/63 (C/H/S). Which enables old software to access the first 7.84 to 7.88GB of such a drive, using CHS addressing and the BIOS Int 13h system call. And while a P-CHS over 16383/16/63 can be used to access all the drive capacity-- up to the ATA-5 128GB limit-- that is
not the recommended way to do so. Rather,
LBA addressing should be used to access those larger capacity drives. (Or at least any partition that goes over the 7.88GB
BIOS Int 13h CHS barrier.)
So, LBA uses a 28 bit binary number to specify the sector number on a drive. Thus:
228 = 268435455 Sectors
268435455 Sectors x 512 Bytes/Sector = 137438952960 Bytes
Resulting in the
128GB (137.4 billion Bytes) ATA-5 size limit.

Memory Useage Concern
That memory amount does not sound correct - it might be the free memory count. What does it say when you go to CONTROL PANEL -> SYSTEM? If it has a low memory count, try this.
When the machine reboots, press the delete key or F10 key to enter the BIOS and have a look at how much memory the BIOS is reporting. If it seems incorrect, you may have mismatched memory (so only one of two chips is working), or one of the chips may have become unseated in its bay. Turn the machine over and unscrew the memory bay door and reseat the chip(s) if necessary. If you reseat them and the memory reported is still incorrect, you might have faulty memory. Actually, faulty memory chips have become extremely rare.
As a last resort download SISOFT SANDA LITE for free on the web (or from download.com) and then run its memory test tools. Laptop memory is very cheap right now, so you might consider replacing if it has become faulty.
Good luck...

Japanese Visa Application with COE denied. Why?
How to Get Employment Security With Correct Japan Work Visa Japan is no different from other developing nations whereby grass seems greener on its side of the pasture. It attracts its fair share of foreign businesses as well as nationals seeking to work within its lands. Albeit many adhere to immigration procedures, some choose to test their limits on the basis of ignorance or defiance. By understanding the different types of work visa in Japan, it assures its foreign workers a continual stream of income with no threat of arrest and deportation. Visa simply infers the status of residence. Citizens obviously have no need of it as they automatically satisfy qualifications to freely reside in their country of birth. As for those of alien status who wish to join the local workforce, there should be a category to match one's requirement. Since most countries strive to improve the overall quality of life, professionals are generally welcomed to contribute knowledge and skill. Unskilled labor is normally not granted a visa to avoid flooding and dilution of the workforce. The visa is awarded in accordance to one's area of expertise. Supported with proof of relevant experience, it is based on the field of involvement whilst working in the country. In the event one's work scope changes from one expertise to another, it is essential to apply for a visa under the new circumstances. Different types of work visa in Japan also apply to foreign companies seeking to conduct local business. Domestic companies based abroad wishing to set up a local point of presence need to provide supporting documents to justify internal transfer of foreign workers. Governmental staff for diplomatic duties is assigned a category for legal residence. Over and above the general groupings, designated activities also garner approval from the authorities. Domestic service for non-native residents and citizens of certain nations on working holidays fall into this category of working visa. This, by no means, is the end of the list as it is best to consult the authorities on which visa serves best.Click Here For More Details: http://japanjobandvisaservice.com/blog/change-your-luck-when-apply-work-visa
