Minimizing windows to taskbar by
Gary Deal
I'm sure this is an elementary question, but as a novice
computer user, after ages looking thru the help topics, I
just can't find the answer. Don't know what I've done,
but now when I minimize a window, instead of it dropping
down to my taskbar, it drops to just ABOVE the taskbar.
Any new window...

Memory and Display Resolution by
Travis Swift
I take it the formula to work out how much video memory
you need is:
Desktop resolution width x Height x Color Depth in bits /
8 (to convert bits to byte)
i.e. 800x600x8/8 (for 800x600px, 256 colors ie 8bit)
1024x768x16/8 (for 1024x768px, 16.7m colors ie 16bit)
Is this correct?

Inactive windows by
Dan
Help. My windows become inactive for no apparent reason.
Also, it minimizes any programs that I may be running
(again for no reason). This seems to have happened after I
ran Windows update. Any ideas on how to make it stop doing
this?

'close' message keeps appearing by
Nigel
When left idle for a few hours, my computer gets a
message, in a large white box, to close. You cant do
anything else until you do, and when you do, you get
messages saying that the memory is full, and no further
actions can be applied. Rebooting always clears the
problem. Any ideas please?
