Shouldn't be a problem, check the man. and pop it in the correct slot and you should be good to go. It is possible the modules dont work together(bad module), but cross that bridge IF you come to it.

Did the install finish? If not it would be easier to delete the parts, re-partition and re-install.

Those are single sided DIMM's, SIMM's have 30(very old) or 72 pins while DIMM's have 168 or 184. Check your mother board manual to verify wher to place the modules ie: the 512 may need to be in slot one.

Are you sure those are SIMM's in there? What I can find on that model says it comes with 512MB DDR. AFAIK no SIMM's are DDR compatible, plus I havent seen a SIMM in a new computer in SEVERAL years. How many ram slots does the board have and how many pins do the 256MB modules have?

Are you sure you deleted the partitions after the first time? It sounds like you just formatted (formating and partitioning are to different things). If you want to merge the 2G part to the rest then use partition magic or the like (windows diskmanagement MAY be able to handle merging but I dont remember off hand).

This thread looks like its got a couple ideas that MAY work, if you have nero check the last post.

I f I where to guess, it would be an IM conversation gone awry and someone was reported. Wouldn't happen to be an AOL user would you? Aside from that and maybe cursing in a kids only chat room I cant see any reason for any curse to be against an ISP's TOS. Not to be overly nosey what provider do you use? I deffinately do not agree with the ide of puting a keylogger on anyones computer without consent (not that anyone would give consent), particularly smeone who's old enough to vote, serve in the military, and be sentenced as an adult.

Im not sure if its possible on a previous install, but there is a hack to create an XP lite disk from home. May be worth a try.

This site will probably get you as close as possible for free. To get an exact address you would need the ISP to cooperate which is extremely unlikely, but if this person is breaking their TOS you can report them.

I rather not, i like how this computer runs and i dont personally believe in firewalls....although i know you have the option to disable it. I just rather stick with SP1 and fix this problem instead. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Can we take this to mean your not running any firewall (hard or software)? This is a pretty bad idea especially if you have a broadband connection. I strongly encourage you to install SP2 it took care of many vulnerabilities and not wanting to lose performance or an app or two isn't worth the risk(IMO).

According to the DSE site the driver doesn't work with kernel 2.6.9 or higher. You can install Ubuntu and downgrade your kernel (comes with 2.6.10 by default). Ubuntu does have pretty good hardware detection, but it cant include every driver there is. You will probably have to compile it yourself no matter what distro you choose, which is pretty simple. You can download the driver from intel (#8) that I believe is for the chipset your modem uses. Try building the driver using the default kernel on which ever distro you choose, if it wont build or load then try a different kernel. You just

Thanks Shane, I edited my post. Thats what I get for not proof reading what I posted.

Are you sure all hardware is the samne, if it is this should be fairly simple. Install the Ubuntu drive as slave (or secondary master), leave Windows as primary. All you really need to do is install grub on mbr of windows drive and edit menu.lst and fstab. When both drives are in boot a live cd like knoppix and mount the linux drive mkdir /mnt/hdb mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb (if your drives are SATA it may be sdb instead of hdb) then chroot into the linux drive chroot /mnt/hdb /bin/bash then run grub and run these commands in grub shell grub> root (hd1,0) grub> set

The distro you choose isn't really a concern, the desktop environment is. With only 64MiB of ram GNOME and KDE will run pretty slow, I would suggest using xfce4 which would run better or fluxbox which would probably run best but lacks much of the eye candy of the others. My advice is install Ubuntu (one of the more user friendly distros and install fluxbox to run on it.

I played with 2.6.14 alittle last week. The kernel compiled and booted fine,but none of my external modules compiled except the nvidia driver which wouldnt load anyway. Portage (Gentoo package system) has a new release candidate (vanilla-sources) so maybe i'll give it a try.

All I did was add fortune futurama at end of /etc/bash/bashrc and it puts the fortune for all accounts.

I take it the computer boots directly into windows? If that is the case then you probably installed grub in the MBR of /dev/hdb. You can reinstall grub by chrooting into the drive. Im not familir with the Fedora install, if you can get a shell prompt you should be able to do it from there, else you will need a live cd. to chroot: mkdir /mnt/hdb mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb #some live cd's automatically mount drives chroot /mnt/hdb /bin/bash you can then run grub and in the grub shell: grub> root (hd1,0) grub> setup (hd0) grub> quit You may need to e

If you mean you can access your router config from outside then no, you shouldnt need to access remotely and its a security risk. In the wired router config foreward the ports to the wireless router, then in wireless router config foreward to the VNC server.

Does it continue rising until ram and swap are full or does it eventually stop?

The OEM cd may work, I have a XP disk that came with my girlfriends laptop that installs fine on any computer. I believe some are specific to the manufacturer, try installing it on another system (if you have one). Tell the client before hand that without recovery cd's or partition you cant reinstall all there software. If you can make a list of phone numbers to various manufacturers for clients to call and get the disks may be a good idea (I dont think they will send you the disk not being the owner). How many people acctually use all the crap that come on PC's anyway?

Its a terminal application, needs to be run in a terminal (if you want to see the output). Are you able to ping any address (URL or IP)?

VLC

You shouldn't have any problems with that laptop, that site says they tried several distros without any problem. Give Ubuntu a try, if you have any problems just ask. And the linux fo laptops page gives alot of specific info that should help IF a device is a problem.

Wine shouldn't be a problem, you need to run it as root or specify the full path. I just want to know if your network card is recognized and if it is if you have an IP. When you run it see if you see eth0 on the left. This could be as simple as just a DNS problem, you may need to input them manually. Test your network card, ping 127.0.0.1 if thats shows replies your card should be fine. Then ping 216.239.57.99 which is google, if that works but ping www.google.com doesn't its deffinately DNS.

Ifconfig is the nix equivalent of ipconfig, run it as root and it'll show if your interface is recognized. Might be useful to write down the info from ipconfig /all in windows.
