8 gb installed on my laptop but 7.88 GB usable!
I have a Dell inspiron 15r is I opened the laptop to see the brand of my Rams I removed one, checked the ram and put it back then I turned on my pc and then realized in the system information indicated its 7.88 GB of ram is usable! until he needed to leave the pc to read the amount of ram?
Hello
It is normal, for the same reason a 2 TB hard drive has only 1.8 to useful. Different ways of measuring a GB give different results...
In addition, a small amount of ram can be reserved for the use of the machine and thus is not "usable" by the operating system.

Hello
Try to re - install ZoneAlarm on laptop, BUT it tells me that I must upgrade to the Microsoft Windows Service Pack 1 (SP1) to do this... I am running Windows Vista and when I click on windows update it works for literally hours without anything happeneing.
Zone Alarm has a key valid license - but for some strange reason, he will not have, so I had to uninstall and reinstall ZoneAlarm - he tells me that I need this update - who will not come?
Note: Windows Firewall is turned on right now and when I look at 'exceptions' does not offer updates of windows as part of the selection list.
Please, any advice on this will be greatly appreciated.

ITunes detects the iPod, but 'cannot correctly identify' uninstalled iTunes and then re-installed. Restarted laptop. Folder deleted Apple Lockdown, rebooted, still could not "identify" during each step, also disconnected iPod USB port.
Try the following (in that order). Looks like you're using Windows (not a Mac), so I'll make this assumption...
Shut down (power off) the computer, disconnect all the USB devices. Plug the laptop power adapter, so that it does not work on battery power. Do this Reset (reboot), the iPod
Learn how to reset your iPod - Apple Support
Start computer, run iTunes and connect the iPod to a USB direct on the laptop by itself. If there is no difference, put the iPod in Disk Mode
Put the iPod in disk - Apple Support Mode
Then connect to the laptop again, always by himself. If iTunes picks it up, he may ask you to do a restore with a message on the "recovery." If you're OK with deletion of the iPod, do the restore. See if the iPod is "correctly identified" after restoration.
If the problem persists, you said you uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, but may not have uninstalled iTunes and associated software components. Follow the steps in this document to uninstall an iTunes installation components, in the order described all listed
Remove and reinstall iTunes and software for Windows 7 and later versions - Apple Support components

There, Windows XP had a battery drain fix (patch). How can I determine if this hotfix is installed on my laptop? I haven't used a battery for years, but I would like to order a.
If the hotfix is not installed, how can I get it to install?
Your question is too vague. Most of the life themes battery by Windows XP tasks occur only in some computers - and yours may or may not benefit from all the suggested fixes. In addition, some of these plots have been released a long time ago and were likely incorporated into a later Service Pack. You should have installed Service Pack 3 for Windows XP 5 years.
If you want to use your laptop as a portable device, I suggest you buy a battery - not the cheapest possible one - and use it for a while. If you experience shorter than the normal battery life, you can ask for help then or read through the results of this research--> http://support.microsoft.com/search/default.aspx?query=battery+life+xp&x=4&y=8&mode=a&spid=global&catalog=LCID%3D1033&wa=wsignin1.0

Salvation; I instaled a new Windows XP Home edition on my computer hp laptop, but it's not conect to the internet through my wireless card.how can solve this?
Did you use the recovery process HP plant or install using a different operating system disk? If the latter, you need to install the drivers for all your hardware, including drivers for wireless network cards. You will get only the pilot specific support for your laptop model HP Web site tech.
If by "wireless card" you mean that you have a 3G USB modem through your cell phone provider, contact the cell phone provider for help with that. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!
