Try thi procedure- If the spell checker passes over areas of text and does not pick-up mis-spelt words it is possible that the text has been marked not to be checked. To solve this problem do the following: 1. highlight the area which won't spell check. 2. click 'Tools' menu then the 'Language'

As I said there lies the conundrum. To get a camera (any type) close enough to take a clear picture to identify and give you a chance of catching the miscreant, you stand a chance that your own trap becomes vandalized. Although I recently have seen a number of video cameras capture vandals

It's hard to compare the security of a cam in a school with that of a cam out in the woods. The one has all sorts of law enforcement protection, the other doesn't. Not to mention in a school setting even a blurry image might be recognizable. Of course, if you just want the cams to deter, then you

Modern RAM DIMMs are actually made up of lots of smaller RAM chips. One of them possibly has a fault. Shut your system down completely and reseat the DIMM(s), with the usual anti-static warnings. If that does not fix the problem, buy some new RAM - it is cheap, and XP would be much,

No it does not. What kind of video subsystem do you have? Is it sharing any of your ram? Many low end models of subsystems built on the motherboard that share the RAM you have installed so you end up with less Ram. Presently it shows you are giving it 8 MP ram. I bet it can be increased

Re: [CGUYS] RAM

Without knowing details, it seems more likely to me that the missing 8M is being used as video memeory, and thus not available to the system. This is almsot certainly the case if there is no separate video card and the video is on board. Sometimes you can configure this in the BIOS. On Wed, Feb
