For example, the question mark key comes up ? here just fine, but in MS word it shows up as a capital E with an apostrophe over it. HOW do I turn it off?

I have 8GB RAM (4x2GB sticks), works fine to my knowledge, and shows up on the main screen, and in the BIOS as 8GB. Good stuff. However, recently in order to try and improve boot speeds I went into the pagefile and set it as 0 after reading that it isnt needed with this ammount of ram. After rebooting I went into msconfig's advanced boot screen, set the number of processors to 4 and MAX RAM... ...

I bought a Logitech Quickcam for laptops about half a year ago, and it has always given me problems, especially when using it with Windows Live.

The drive is no faster than with a USB cable, so I googled to find info about slow eSATA transfers and read through a LOT...
