Because Microsoft techies decided that this was the most efficient way to use the available RAM! (My XP Pro system cache at work is about 36% of 512 MB)

Are you trying to find a connection between GHz and Gflops? <img src=/S/confused.gif border=0 alt=confused width=15 height=20> These are different animals. <img src=/S/whisper.gif...

Have a look at the memory information found in Task Manager -> Performance when running your most demanding work. Compare the Total Physical Memory (top right) with the Total and Peak Commit Charge...

I always buy memory in the UK from Crucial, because they are well priced and in my experience utterly reliable, both in next-day delivery and in operation when installed. You can look up your PC on...

The quality of security of the various online banking/building society websites varies quite a lot, I've found. Some will quite happily allow you to 'save' some of the account details from the...

I mean, one must have standards, mustn't one!

I wouldn't have said it was a 'new' application! I tried it at work about a year ago, and was mildly impressed with it, but not enough to keep it installed. The really negative aspect of it (for...

Thanks, but I can easily reduce the size of a graphic by several mechanisms. (I suggested one in my original post!) That's not the problem!

If I have a Word document with one or more...

Sorry, Jefferson: "Any" didn't include Office 2007!

Thanks Hans, but the results are a bit confusing.

Each graphic in the document appears to be saved as two graphics files, one a large PNG and one a much smaller JPG. The original of at least...

We are often plagued with emails containing Word documents where the ignorant user has included a graphic (logo, picture, etc) which has simply been reduced in size by moving a corner towards the...

<hr>Have you checked the price of 2GB RAM recently?<hr>Yes, I've just spent £80-ish for 2 GB of ECC memory from Crucial for our Windows 2003 Server!

Hans: I quote from my earlier email to the former sufferer, "Some people like sending text messages from a computer because it's considerably easier to type on a proper keyboard."

The nub of the problem was that it didn't recognise that there was a tape present in the drive!

Rebooting the server is no great problem at 07:00, since I have a sneaky Exchange ShutDown...

Just to close this post off, it seems that the culprit was a "Desktop SMS" application on the Toshiba laptop. Uninstalling this caused Windows Mail then to perform as expected!

Updated drivers: there is a newer version of STDATW2K.SYS at v1.14.3.0 which I haven't yet applied; the current version is 1.11.0.0 dated 28 Aug 2004.

No problem with tape labelling...

Yes, quite a bit! The DOS command dir c: /s /b | sort /+256 /r > LongName.txt actually gives an error on a very long pathname, but does produce a file. I am just going to try the...

Addendum to the above - no, Xplorer2 Lite has the same problem with long pathnames as does Windows Explorer, with Rename and Delete dropping out of the menu...

I am wrestling with the problem of very long pathnames and thus filenames, which Windows Explorer fails miserably to handle (can't copy, rename or delete, for example).

Does anyone know whether...

<hr>I am just trying to get the auditory vision of a LPO screaming viola solo as opposed to the electric guitar<hr>"Auditory vision" as opposed to "visual sound", perhaps?! And I'd be delighted if...

Could you not ring up the manager of the London Philharmonic Orchestra and get them to play it for J2? I'm sure they'd even record it for you for not much more...

It's probably unnecessary to warn this august body of the plethora of malware dedicated to the Hallowe'en season!

I only do this because our antispam software picked up Subject lines: "Halloween...

This is more likely to be a software matter than hardware, I suspect.

On rare occasions, when I have to restore files from a backup DDS-5 4 mm DAT tape in a SEAGATE DAT DAT72-000 SCSI Sequential...

Rather than the standard COPY/XCOPY/folder drag and drop mechanisms which have the "useful feature" you describe, you probably want to be looking at Microsoft's ROBOCOPY (XP010 version), or XXCOPY,...
