In 'control panel', click on 'system', that will show how much memory Windows thinks you have.

The updater for my SuperAnti-Virus program is giving me a notice that it is attempting to modify CSRSS.EXE application. What is this and should I allow it? Thanks.

Depending of the OS and some programs 256 is NOT enough. So what OS are you running and on what type (make and model) of machine?

Hi Diana I couldn't agree more There are several sites that attempt to keep you behind closed doors (in order to protect us if you believe such guff) When I reply to any of these (be it Ancestry, Genesreunited or whatever) I include my email address, if they don't want to mail direct its up to them but I do not carry on for long on the infernal systems (sorry Internal :-) Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Ask me why I don't use web mail... > > And why I'm so angry at RootsWeb/Ancestry for forcing their web mail on > those of > us registered there, when it used to be so easy to just email each > other -- > bypassing them entirely.

Ike, Your posts are coming through to me like below. I can't read them. Someone else on this list does the same thing. What causes this?

Ask me why I don't use web mail... And why I'm so angry at RootsWeb/Ancestry for forcing their web mail on those of us registered there, when it used to be so easy to just email each other -- bypassing them entirely. Not to mention the extreme inconvenience of not having all my genealogy email stored in one place: MY computer. A pox on them!

Hi Lori I'm looking into getting my own domain, but in the meantime, I've signed up with googlemail. An account with web-based access and plenty of storage space will be useful to divert my mailing list digests into when I go on holiday.

Hi Jean I registered for a googlemail account yesterday, since I couldn't find any way to get a gmail one. According to a message I found in the Help section just now, which address I'm offered depends on where my IP address appears to be geographically located. According to another help article only googlemail suffixes have been issued in the UK & Germany since October 2005, due to some ongoing trademark dispute. After seeing your message I tried sending messages to the new account with both "googlemail.com" and "gmail.com" suffixes and you're right, both arrive OK, which is useful to know, thanks! Unfortunately since I have to send from a googlemail address, most replies are still going to be to the googlemail version.

Hi Nivard If you dig deep into the help section of Gmail, there is a page headed: 'Gmail (standard view) Guide - Creating a Gmail address', which contains the following: "Desired login name Your login name is both the name you use for signing in to your account, and the part of your email address which appears before the @ sign. Note that in most countries, your email address will have the form login_name@gmail.com, but in a small number of countries, including the UK, it will have the form of login_name@googlemail.com. " When I dial up www.gmail.com on my browser, I'm automatically routed through to www.google.com which only offers accounts with the googlemail suffix. Possibly it checks that my ISP (TalkTalk) is based in the UK? Maybe your ISP or route to gmail can't be checked so easily? If you have some neat way to get around this restriction please let me know.

Hi John, What you say about Google mail in the UK was true. However, a couple of months ago it was changed and we can now use either "@googlemail.com" or "@ gmail.com". I have been using both successfully. Hope this helps.

Hi List Many thanks to Diana, Mary, Stan, Paul, and David for your helpful advice. To summarise the replies: Diana & David suggested acquiring my own domain name. I hadn't thought of that! I'm looking into the pros and cons: it doesn't look very expensive, but I need to find out how much work is involved in set-up and maintenance. Paul suggested: "Email for Life" from the Alumni Association of a university. I checked this out - not expecting much. Surprise, surprise, my old Uni. offers this too. The only problem is that registering for it will expose me to people I've been trying to avoid for years! Mary recommended Gmail & Stan gave it qualified approval. I investigated further and found that UK customers can't get an account with a 'gmail.com' suffix, we have to put up with 'googlemail.com', which is a bit clumsy. Anyway, thanks for all your help. I'll try out Gmail in the short term, whilst I investigate my own domain name - it would be a good way to share photos/files/trees with my collaborators.
