Connection and memory
I have a Windows Vista Business configuration and when it initially starts
up, it fails to connect. I have to go to the NIC card and disable, then re-enable it and then it gets a connection just fine. Any ideas of why? Also, I have 4 gigs of memory and the OS only reports having 3. The bios counts it properly, but Vista doesnt. Anyone know why? Thanks, all -- i appreciate your help SO much! Susan

Connection and memory
As for your memory problem, I assume you are using the 32 Bit version of
Windows. It has a 4GB addressing limit, which includes your RAM, video RAM, and other devices that map to memory. Therefore, your computer can only use 3.x amount of RAM. -- Dustin Harper http://www.vistarip.com -- "susan" wrote in message ...
