What does it mean when you get the message that your "Virtual Memory Minimum is too low"? This seems to happen at least once a month. Why?

For some reason, everything is now HUGE on my screen. Most of the stuff doesn't even fit on the screen because it's so large. I don't know how or why this happened. I tried a restart but that didn't help. I need HELP!!!

I used Norton's up until last year, then I bought Computer Associates, because I could get the anti-virus and firewall packaged together at a reasonable price, its worked goog and I've had not problems with it. But this year I'm trying McAfee's for it to offered anti-virus and firewall packaged together at a fair price. Seems like a firewall is important to have these days.

I had been using Firefox for quite sometime, but that a bit of trouble and downloaded the new IE 7. After using it for a while I wanted to go back to Firefox, but could never get it to load a page while clicking on a link in an e-mail. With IE& as my default browser it will load, but when I change and make Firefox my default browser it want load for a link in Outlook Express. I still like the Firefox best, it seems to load web pages faster, but due to it not loading pages when I click on them in Outlook Express I'm not using it.

I downloaded Windows Defender (Beta 2). Which I already had Microsofts anti spy ware on my computer. After doing so I scanned my computer with it, it said I had some kind of bad toolbar on IE6. I opened IE6 looked around at it to see if I could find something it was pointing to, could not. So I let it delete the item. Them opened IE6, it did not go to my home page, but a Microsoft site that said something had high jacked my home page and changed it and gave instruction how to set a home page. Windows Defender (Beta 2) did this, for no other action had taken place on my computer except by Windows Defender (Beta 2). I reset my home page, ran Windows Defend…

I need to know what the program is called that lets your computer use java. I bought my computer a month ago, and it is not able to do so. I tried doing a search and all I can seem to come up with is java-based programs - not something to play the java with. I also need to know if there is any place to download a program that lets me play DVDs on my computer? When I tried to do so, it said I did not have a DVD decoder to interpret what is actually played on my DVD drive - what good is a DVD drive that can't play DVDs? Seems like my friend uninstalled some components I needed and can't seem to find anywhere else (at least not without knowing exactly what I am looking fo…

I cannot seem to access my websites from work. :shock: Please click on these links and tell me if you can access them - then I will know if it is a problem with this work computer OR if Angela (my webpartner) changed some settings and did not let me know. I can access her parts of EarnestlyContending, but not mine (I can also access my control panel, but then cannot see or edit my pages). http://www.earnestlycontending.com/realmccoy/ http://www.earnestlycontending.com/ewministries Thank you for your help.

Hi, I have Windows XP and when I click on some external links that I use to be able to click on before, there is no address in the address bar. I can't go to the link and this just started acting up. I turned Windows XP's Firewall off to see if that would change anything and I also played with the pop-up blocker and nothing worked. Please help. Thank you. Sothenes

I was wondering if there is any way I can get my computer to shut off the first time instead of how it is doing …

No, I'm not talking about a criminal rodent in the Big House! I have an optical mouse. Sometimes, like every few days or once a week or so, when I go to get back on my computer after I have been away for a while, the mouse won't respond. I have to unplug the mouse and replug it in before it will work. Any ideas what is causing this and if there is a remedy, or do I just have to deal with it?
