help! It's not the same!!

17 years ago

I got a 'messege' that my 'virtual memory' was low. It said to go to Help/Internet Options/Settings/Disk Space.

This time, when I went to 'Help' in the toolbar, a small window came up- I could go to Internet Options, then I could go no farther. It said to 'pick a catagory', but there was nothing there to pick from! It is an entirely different setup!

What happened?

this may help you find out what is causing the message
How can I fix "too little virtual memory" in Windows?

Low Virtual Memory

often times if you find which programs are the culprits if you shut them down completely or even reboot it will reallocate the held memory, some programs just do not release the memory as they should even when shut down.

raven- I did as the 'first' site you guided me to- 'how can I fix the too little memory in Windows- it showed that
1. iexplorer.exe was 85,000
2. systems was 60,000

I then did not see where there was anything more I was supposed to do.

I then went to 'regcure', and did the free download. It said there were 609 found, and the free system would only cclear 2.

Is this something that I need to buy?

There are so many things to speed up the computer that I don't know which I need to buy, and which is ok with the 'free' stuff.

Thanks.

I had to pump a lot of grease into both front hubs before they were full. I mowed my 1 acre lot thinking it would give plenty of time for things to work loose but it still steers the same. Tire pressure is fine so im kinda stumped. The manual shows to greese the steering teeth. I looked all over and couldnt find a zerk so I applied grease directly to it. The best way to describe how it feels it when you have a lose of power to power steering. Thanks for you guys input!

Buying And Selling At The Same Time- It's Over

I did the same thing and it was such a terrible stress. We had a 5 hour gap between needing to be out and being able to move into our new home. We had to pay for our movers to sit on the street with all our stuff loaded into the vans. The selling owners of our new home were unhappy that they didn't get what they thought they deserved for their home, so they wouldn't turn over keys until exactly at 6pm. It was ridiculous. In the end the 6pm deadline came and went and still no keys....we had to break into our own home. I am not sure I would ever do that again. I too didn't sleep for weeks and got such terrible stomach aches for weeks afterwards. Not sure it's worth it to put that much stress on ourselves!

I am going to try to stick it out but it just looks so different and not comfortable or familiar at all to navigate. I don't know if you will permit me to link a very helpful site, which is http://www.city-data.com/forum/ It started out I believe as more of a location guide ( it has forums for each state and region) and then also has toward the bottom a listing of other forums for all sort of topics (entertainment- the book one is great and use it for all my reading suggestions).........and they also have a house one. There I said it. It won't replace this but it's a very nice useful forum for all sorts of stuff.

Having new island built but its not the same height.
Q
Comments (5)
... it’s normal amd isn’t a big deal true or false? False and true. It's not normal, but, unless you are really short, 1/2" isn't a big deal. Since an island is free-standing, I doubt anyone else will ever notice it, and you'll probably forget about it, after you start using the kitchen. ETA, I have a work-table/island in my kitchen. It's a custom height of 34", for my comfort when rolling dough, etc. No one has ever commented that it's 2" shorter than the perimeter counters--even guests who might be helping with last-minute prep.

NO I do not advise the use of registry cleaners, the links I provided did not mention any registry cleaners on them directly, I did see after you posted this that another link in one of them did lead to a different article which mentioned registry cleaning. I was providing the actual steps you were wanting in your original post which was what was on the link I provided.

NO definitely do not buy any registry cleaners and if you downloaded one you can go to add remove and remove it.

The 609 items Regcure 'found' were nothing more than out of date entries and pointers to now non existant programs you have removed over time but poorly written uninstallers failed to find or remove. These are no more harmful than the out of date bus or rail ticket you may have in your pocket.
