Computers & Internet - 15 August 2007

I have 2 PCs both with IE7 and Firefox. One PC shows all sites with either browser. The other shows all sites with IE, but with Firefox, some sites come up with a blank screen. (Notably eBay and Google). It's only started doing this recently. Firefox Options are the same on both machines. Deleting Firefox and reinstalling doesn't solve the problem. Ideas please.

I'm thinking of selling my Apple Macbook and i've no idea how much to charge. I don't know too much about computers so i'm not entirely sure what model it is so i'll describe it:

I bought it at Toys R Us last year and I think I paid about £750 for it. It's white and is in mint condition with original box and everything that came with it when new.

It has a 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo processor and 512MB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM. (Whatever that means!)

What should I charge? I'm in the UK, by the way.

Thanks very much.

Ok, bear with me. I have a 512 and 256 card, and my operating system runs about 400 ram. If I replace the 256, that will take me from 756 to 1512 ram. Will that double my programs speed because it is double? Or will it quadruple it, because I am going from an excess of 300 ram to 1100 ram? Or is it some other solution?

Does anyone know of a good shareware / freeware registry tracer? I want to find out what registry keys a program is trying to look up when I run it, so I can import them from my backup.

(Background is that I recently upgraded my OS from 98 to XP via an OEM install, which of course blew away my registry - as I expected; I'd exported the original into .reg files so I could reimport settings later - XP's files and settings transfer wizard didn't grab the old registry entries to put on my new system, so I either have to import keys or reinstall apps, and I'd rather import keys. I've already imported the obvious branches, but some apps are still complaining, so they must be looking for more obscure keys. I can't just import whole branches because XP doesn't like it, and fair enough since some of them cover system internals.)
