1. Probably not. The RAM may run but it will run at the speed of the slowest memory. This may give errors or complete failure. 2. No. 3. ??? 4. As above 5. It MAY permanently damage all the RAM sticks.

I currently have 9 Samsung HDD's of varying sizes (all SATA) dates from 10/2005 to 6/2006 which display an alarming habit of failure. Will work for a time, stuff up and destroy raid arrays or just drop O/S's but generally die. Have run the Samsung tools over them but to no avail. All test OK...

Clicking on drives may well be the read write heads thrashing. This is caused by hardware faults and usually the drive is unrecoverable. It may also be a damaged File Allocation Table on the drive. This is recoverable with disc tools usually.

Have a look at the new ETrust. You can d/l a trial version that's free for 12 months. I use and like it.

You can bet it is the fuser bar. Without it the print just wipes right off. Or falls off.

Remove your ram chips and gently gently clean the edge connectors with a plastic pencil eraser. Then clean with isopropyl alchohol and replace them. If it still occurs try a new stick of RAM.

No I've tried uninstalling the A/V on the machine but that's no good either.

When I try to open an excel file on my desktop (stored on the desktop) it takes minutes to open. However, if I open Excel first then open the file it's instantaneous as it should be. Same thing happens in Word. Have uninstalled Office 2003 and reinstalled to no avail. Any suggestions??

I believe that Symantec are suing M/S for using code from Veritas in Vista. It seems M/S had an agreement with veritas but when Symantec bought it they didn't want M/S to use the code. They are suing for the code removal as well as money for miuse and this will slow Vista even further.

I found this on the Microsoft website and tried it but it'd no good either. I belive it can be done in Server 2003 tho. Will just have to put up with it I guess. Create a logon script. a. Use a text editor to create the following batch file: net use T: /delete net use T...

I have a small domain in a school but wish to restrict users to one login. This will stop them using all and sundys passwords to get in even when their accounts have been disabled. In Server 2000 I do not know how to do this. Any ideas??

I have been asked to deploy a background message across every machine on ouyr school network. I have set the Group policy to do this but it seems to not want to do it. The policy is deployed and the background shows up in the desktop properties box ok. The background does not come up however...

Seems to be pretty typical of DELL boxes lately. In the last year their systems reliability has dropped off markedly. Reputation is suffering badly in Australia.

All are stationary desktops. The students logon script maps the 2 student printers available to them and sets the default randomly. The main issue is that often the default printer set is on the other side of the school and paper wastage is getting way out of control. Of course when it...

I need the computers in a room to print only to the printer in that room. At the moment I have printers mapped in the logon script so students just press print and where ever it comes out so be it. How do i limit them to print to the printer in the room they are in or a close by printer??
