Well, as we all know, x32 editions of anything cannot use a full 4 gigs of RAM. Instead it uses about ~3.2 gigs of the RAM. I have a laptop with 1 gig of RAM and Vista Home Premium x32 and a Go6150 integrated graphics card and i'm thinking about upgrading the RAM to either 2gigs or 4 gigs. Now how does Vista "choose" the ~3.2 gigs of RAM it uses? Does it randomly choose ~3.2 gigs every time...

No idea what happened to it but it's no longer showing on my computer. When I try to run a cd or what not, nothing pops up either. No error message, nothing. -- g0dfather

I'm having a problem connecting to a Network Printer with Vista Ultimate RTM. Everytime I try to connect and add a printer that is connected to another maching (running XP SP2) Vista comes up with a "Error, cannot connect, out of memory" error. It is a Samsung ML-2010 printer, and I have installed the drivers locally on the Vista machine, and also have tried to do the registry hack as seen...

To all the group good to be a part of the group I hope that like myself you are all enjoying Vista. I am using Vista ultimate and am absulutly thrilled with it. EXEPT Lexmark inform me they have no intention of providing Vista drivers for the X7170 which is a brilliant machine with great software,I cannot possibly and dont see why I need to buy a new MFP this one is less than 12 months old...

I have Vista Home Premium w/SP1 I found a website that tells me to use Run, and enter: convert k: /fs:NTFS. But when I do I get this: "Access Denied as you do not have sufficient privileges. You have to invoke this utility running in elevated mode." What the heck does this mean? Is there any other way...

How do I reconnect my second harddrive in my dual drive lap top. It went away during a windows driven blue screen "GATHERING DATA FOR AN EMERGENCY CRASH" then it went down.

Computer still under 30 days old. Should i just...

This system is bugged!!! It only sporadically works. Most of the time it takes putting the disk in 10 times to get it to mount once! I came to this site looking to find answers, only to find many other threads of the same nature. Most of the threads have no response at all and none that I have found have any "official" response. Come on MS, what are your people getting paid for? I bought...

My laptop does not seem to have a 9 pin COM port which I require to transfer information to another device. I have cords to convert the 9 pin port to USB but when I hook it up to my laptop it does not seem to recognize this. Can you use the USB port on your laptap as a COM port? Do I need to change the settings somewhere to make this work? Any help would be greatly appreciated. THANKS

Hi, this is my first post here so bare with me if I'm not all that up to speed. Anywho, I have a HP Pavillion dv9000 laptop and recently I've found that my DVDRW Drive tends to disappear (both from the computer and device manager) after a random amount of time. This is nearly always tied to my usage of Windows Media Player or iTunes 7. I am leaning towards a compatibility issue with iTunes...

What is wrong, I have pretty much...

How can i get the two unallocated spaces into one area to format and create a new partition -- thank you for your help
