1.	Solve : Can I use my monitor as a fishbowl??
Answer» Ok, the story up til now!!! I needed more memory for Windows XP upgrade. Hey, I can do that. Anyway, I did all of the appropriate research and found what I needed for my system. I ordered (256 to add to 256) it and waited PATIENTLY (well kinda). HURRAY, I got it today! Well, I installed it & had some initial slot problems but got that all WORKED out. I went to system overview & it registered the new memory but everything is just as slow as before. So, I went to Kingston's troubleshooting guide & it said that I needed to "reset systems CMOS." What?!? So, I went to ASUSTEK (model K7M) and DOWNLOADED the manual for my mboard. I'm not sure it was in English. So, I came here & I didn't understand what to do here either - I'm kind of dense & I only know enough about computers to really screw one up! So, I place my computer into your cyber doctor hands & hope that I'll find someone who can write instructions like the whole "See Spot Run" series. Don't get me wrong though if this doesn't work out I will figure out how to make a fish bowl! If you dont understand what to do here either, I would suggest you take it to a shop. You can try using it as a fish bowl but i wouldnt recommend it. Quote I went to system overview & it registered the new memory but everything is just as slow as before. The more things you have running the slower your computer will be, sometimes these running things can even be viruses. Is your computer virus/spyware free?As a matter of fact, I still have everything unplugged (speakers, printer, etc) from trying to make it run w/256 memory before. So, I don't know what to think about that. Ironically, the 14th of the month is when I have scheduled myself to do all of the virus/spyware cleaning & there wasn't anything there. I have been sitting here researching for about two hours now & have finally figured out how to get to CMOS but now I just need to know what the correct SETTINGS are. Do you have any suggestions for me? I'm also wondering now if I shouldn't be looking in the BIOS area as well. I know that I can do this, it'll just take patience & a sense of humor on my part. Unfortunately, I don't have the money to take it to the shop. So, any constructive suggestions would be greatly appreciated.And what did you scan your computer with?Yahoo anti-virus, anti-spywareDownload, install, update & run http://www.ewido.net/en/ You may be surprised. 256 -> 512 should show a marked improvement. Great, thank you so much, Fed! I've been in front of this computer a little too long tonite, my eyes have crossed & my brain is scrambled. So, I must hit the pillows & get back at it in the AM. I will let you know how it goes w/this website. Thank you for your help!Need full specifications really, including drive size and speed.
