Hello BHold1, Thursday, May 19, 2005, 6:31:38 PM, you wrote: Bac> I really need to buy some RAM for my computer. I looked it up and Bac> what I need is 256, DDR ram.

What do these numbers symbolize Bac> and how do I find out which PC # I need? The numbers tell you how fast the RAM can move data, and this is based on the frequency that it operates - this in turn relates to the speed that your motherboard can work at. So getting the fastest ( PC3200 ) won't make any difference if your system can only operate at PC2100. On the other hand - trying to fit PC2100 RAM into a system set to run at PC3200 will cause major crashes and problems as it just cannot work reliably at that speed. So - to find out what your motherboard already has download a free program called Everest Home Edition .... http://www.lavalys.com/products/download.php?pid=1&lang=en .... and run it. You'll be amazed at the detail about what's inside that box of tricks <lol> HTH and Good Luck :-) -- Best regards, Barry mailto:barry@yobunny.co.uk MicroSoft Free Zone running Xandros 2.0 Deluxe

What is Gmail? - Quick Facts - Screenshots - FAQ What is Gmail? As part of Google's mission to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful, we're testing an email service called Gmail. Gmail is a free, search-based webmail service that includes more than 2,000 megabytes (two gigabytes) of storage. The backbone of Gmail is a powerful Google search engine that quickly finds any message an account owner has ever sent or received. That means there's no need to file messages in order to find them again. When Gmail displays an email, it automatically shows all the replies to that email as well, so users can view a message in the context of a conversation. There are no pop-ups or untargeted banner ads in Gmail, which places relevant text ads and links to related web pages adjacent to email messages. http://gmail.google.com/gmail/help/about.html Many of us here have invitations. At this time, Gmail accounts are only available by invitation. Elaine Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more. --Mark Twain Hello Mary On Friday, May 27, 2005, you wrote > I must have missed something.

Thanks for that Carolyn. it is not the mail I'm worried about as I use MailWasher, it is the downloads coming in without my permission. I had a fit when I saw 3.5 megs coming in. However I THINK I may have solved it as when checking my AV update I see a very big update. Wow this had me worried for a while.

Lance, I just did that.... it has pretty big print... and it's 218 pages using both sides of the paper...I think I may bring it into Office Max and let them comb-bind it for me... the "combs" you can buy only go up to 5/8 of an inch, and that would get pretty tight...If they do it for me, they've got a one inch comb which would allow the pages to be turned more easily...

Can someone tell me how to restore the "CTL/ALT/DEL" function? When you try to use it, a message comes up that says that it has been "DISABLED" by the administrator. I didn't disable it, but I think it may have something to do with Spyware or Adware that doesn't want me to close it down. Thanks! Peggy

Also you could view your e-mail while on vacation if you have access to a computer.

Arthur, you would probably be more secure if you shut off the Windows Firewall and ran Zone Alarm. If you didn't initiate the download, could it have been an automatic download of Windows updates? Do you have that option turned on? The other important point with downloads - any download other than Windows updates - is to have a designated folder into which they go. If you have a separate hard drive that is a good spot to create it. If not, have it on separate partition at least. Firefox will allow you to nominate your downloads folder, so that every download goes there. Then when you have it downloaded, you can run your AV program over it to ensure it is safe before doing anything else with it.
