  • How to tell you how much ram you can install in your computor

    I have a Dell optiplex 330, Intel (r) Dual CPU and 1.98 GB of ram. How how can I install RAM? Thank you

    This kind of question is answered by the documentation of the manufacturer for your specific model.

    In your case, the answer is 4 GB: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/op330/en/ug/sdspecs.htm

    Read the Note about the maximum memory to the page linked so you will not be disappointed if you go out and buy more memory.  The actual amount of RAM reported by Windows XP, when there is physically installed 4 GB will be probably about 3.2 GB or more.  The exact amount will depend of various hardware devices installed on your computer use a part of the "memory address space" even if they do not use real RAM.

  • Allow a virtual browser through firewall?

    I recently worked with a virtualized 19 Firefox version, but I'm having a problem allowing it through the Windows Firewall. The problem is that the executable file itself is buried in the C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\VOS\Firefox\%Program Files%\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe

    In the path above '%Program Files%' refers to a literal location where the directory is surrounded by % and does not refer to the environment variable. I also use AppLocker and he doesn't have a problem with this way, but firewall appears. Actually move or rename this directory is impossible, because this place is indispensable for the virtual fie system works. So, I need a way to pass this path to the firewall without thinking that the actual path is "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\VOS\Firefox\C:\Program Mozilla Firefox Firefox\firefox.exe".
    So far, tried to escape from the % with ^ and doubling the percent as you, without any result. Enclose the path in ' ' did not help, either. I also tried to use the short name of the directory (% Progr ~ 1), hoping that would help. Finally, I also tried to create an environment variable to point to the path and the addition of the rule in this way, without success. When I try to add the rule manually on the local computer (I am also to push those rules to GP) I get an error that the application path cannot be resolved.
    I hope someone has another idea.

    Update: you can feel free to take the virtual browser completely off the problem. The problem is, how do I switch Windows Firewall with security advanced a rule when the path contains percent signs? I'm learning the syntax to inform the Firewall %Program Files% should not be treated as an environment variable.
