I am having Toshiba Satellite A135-S2246 Notebook, which is having 512 MB RAM (Toshiba PC2-4200 DDR2-533MHz)...
As the system is having Windows Vista, so i want to install 1 GB more RAM....

But I read a article in net which says

"if your computer supports dual-channel memory configurations, you should install in identical pairs (preferably in kits) for optimal performance."

Now i dont understant what to so as installing 1 GB RAM more RAM will make
Slot 1 512 MB and
Slot 2 1 GB...

Please advise....

When I print things the top margin gets reduced to barely anything and the bottom margin is like and inch long. So it's like my printer moves the item I'm printing all the way to the top on the sheet of paper. I already checked the settings to see if it's printing on a sheet that's 8.5x11 and it is. This started happening like 4 months ago and it didn't really matter until now since I have to print a brochure/pamphlet that's two-sided for a school project and it won't look good if the margins are off. Can I fix this?

I have done it before when I talked to a person from Dell over the phone. He told me to do it. I had to push a certain button lots of times when the Dell symbol came up when I booted up the computer. I dont think it is any of the F- buttons.

I found similar models at 'Toshiba Direct.com site at USA.But they don't sell/ship to Japan.Toshiba's home site in Japan is only in Japanese & they deal with Japanese OS only. I wonder, since Toshiba is based in Japan, whether they have any assistace for my needs! Please help me to contact Toshiba with my needs! Some shops at Tokyo sell international models(with English OS). But, they are very old models!

Ok so I changed one of the CPU Features in the CMOS (I turned AMD Cool and Quiet On). Anyway the BIOS Reset my PC but only the fans spun at a rapid rate and It did not POST. So I reset the CMOS by using a jumper on my Motherboard. Thhe pc then booted and POSTed'. Now the cmos asked my to reset the clock frequincy's. Well I did not know what they were. Therefore i Loaded fail-safe defaults. Now I am wondering if loading fail-safe defualts will reset the clock frequincy's. I did not build the PC. It Is A Gateway GT5220.

Often when i'm using the touchpad, it accidentally starts dragging things like icons in Windows Explorer, or worse, it drags and misplaces text in Word. I hate this! Is there a way i can disable the drag feature on the touchpad? I haven't seen no such option in the touchpad's settings :-(

Hi

I've a trouble with my computer monitor display. Sometimes its screen displays a mixed spectrum of colors.

Please find the attachment to see the picture of my monitor, how it looks when the following activities are performed: -

1.When the system goes stand by situation and we bring it to default again, we see the spectrum.
2.When we change the Hertz through Control Panel>>Display>>Settings>>Advanced>>Monitor.
3.When we install a game of high resolution.
4.After playing a game and on exiting the game the display gets distorted.
5.

The screen displays a mixed spectrum of colors (as shown in the picture) that can't let me do anything other then restarting the system. I had also format the system & install all the drivers again, still the problem it’s as it is.


Thanks

Yashwant

I have an Athlon XP 2000+ (1.68ghz) which I think is running at 133mhz, my current RAM is 512mb DDR (two 256MB stacks at PC2100)

If I put two 1GB stacks of PC3200 DDR RAM into my computer, will they work ok or not?

Thanks.

My old computer has been unplugged for a couple months. I had to have my harddrive reprogrammed. When I connected my montior back up to the computer, the monitor had a clicking noise. It does it with the computer or without it. It was fine a few weeks ago when I had it plugged in and trying to fix other issues with the computer. Any idea? What would make it suddenly start doing this if it was not in use for a while? Thanks for any help
