Hi I have recently ran a test on my computer that indicated that I have 2 sticks of 512 mb meaning the ram on my computer must be 1024 mb right? Bull****. I go to check on properties on my computer and it says 768 mb. What is the problem here? I tried to put the sticks in again but it's the same. Please help me.

Sometimes I will try try to download something and it will stop downloading half way through, and will say the file is corruprted. I will delete all trace of the file and try to download it again, it will stop at the same place half way through the download. I have tried deleting my cookies and searching for the file on my computer and delete anything that comes up. I know it can't be the link to download, because it works on other computers I've tried it on.

My laptop is about a year and a half old, and recently everytime it runs on battery power, it drains very quickly. For example, I had it on battery for about 15 minutes and looked at the remaining life..it said something like 30 minutes, 70%. It has never been such a short life like that! Why is it happening?

my computure just suddenly turned off when i went on this website so when it turned back on i scaned for virus' and spyware and found a trojan downloader in the spyware scan but nothin in the anti virus ( i ran both of them at the same time.) i was wondering if a trojan downloader installs the trojan right away because i'm not sure if i have 1 or not. is it a good idea to run a virus scan and spyware scan at the same time or do they interfere with one another?

I know there are ways to change how the headings look when it comes to font and color but is there a way to actually change what it says? I would much rather not have these headings or be able to change the wording into something a little more personal. I've searched a bit online and haven't found anything that will do what I want. I'm hoping someone might have an answer for me. Thanks. :]

Ok, yesterday, I was at a computer store, and the most powerful computer there just happened to have crysis installed (I wonder why)
Long story short, I am still in shock with the DX-10 realism.

HOWEVER, at home, I can barely run the demo on low settings. What should I upgrade next in terms of computer gaming?

Pentium D 820 @ 2.8 GHz
2 GB 533 Mhz ram
250 GB SATA II Hard drive
BFG 7950 GT OC

PLEASE HELP me decide what to upgrade next!

WE bought extra memory for our computer, and it was running super fast. Then my sister installed a program for her online class, and it was running soooooo slow. After she was done with the course, i uninstalled the program and the computer never picked up the speen again, if anything it is slower. I defraged, deleted temp files and the recycle bin. I tried everything. Why is the memory not recovered??

Around two days ago my brother was restarting the computer and he ended up pressing some buttons that led him to reboot the computer (or something similar) and it asked him if he wanted to keep all files and he said yes. But then it turned out that when the computer started all files and programs were no longer there, the computer was like the day we first bought it (with no files and the programs we had were gone).
We have a 2004 HP Pavilion computer with Windows XP. Is it possible for me to recover all the files I had saved prior to my brother doing this?? and if so, how can I go about doing it??

I am using Microsoft Exchange Server 6.5 . We are hosting our own email. About a week ago, one of the employees here said he could not receive outside mail. He could send mail, and receive mail delivered within the company, but he could not reeive mail from an outside source. I did a test by sending him an email from a gmail account, and it automatically bounced back.

Then, on Thursday or Friday of last week, another employee complained about the same problem!



Can anyone think of anything that might be causing this? Any suggestions?

Thanks!
