I can't remember correctly but it had something to do with memory like read
all memory or something. It was under the other options it gives you-----

Any ideas what I may have done and how to solve it or who to contact. The
computer will not even recognize the DVD to restore.

I'm guessing you have a Ram problem. If you can switch off the machine and use the switch at the back of the case and switch it off at the wall too you might be able to take the side panel off the machine, carefully clean out the dust - pull out the ram and put it back in again.

If you dont know what you are doing with this then it might be worth getting someone in a computer shop to do it for you. It might be worth getting some more ram but it can easily cost £30 or so.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

I could try to describe what to be careful of but it depends on what type of machine you have. Is it a tower or one that lays flat? or is it a laptop?

The main thing is don't worry. This sort of thing usually looks a lot worse than it really is and all your data is almost certainly just still safely on your hard-drive. Once the Ram issue is sorted it'll all be back to normal (usually)

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)

                    The Storm

                                They were together in the house.

                                Just the two of them. It was a cold, dark, stormy night. The storm had come quickly and each time the thunder boomed he watched her jump....

                                She looked across the room and admired his strong appearance...and wished that he would take her in his arms, comfort her and protect her from the storm.

                                Suddenly, with a pop, the power went out... She screamed...He raced to the sofa where she was cowering. He didn't hesitate to pull her into his arms.

                                He knew this was a forbidden union and expected her to pull back. He was surprised when she didn't resist, but instead clung to him.

                                The storm raged on.

                                They knew it was wrong...

                                Their families would never understand... So consumed were they in their FEAR that they heard no opening of doors... just the faint click of a camera......

                                Now that you have smiled today, help someone else smile too!

                  You got to admit there is a benefit from the internet. Time to learn something.

                  Begin forwarded message:

----------------------------------------------------

                                this is great info for your next cocktail party... g.

------------------------------------------------

                                these are VERY INTERESTING

                                They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & sold to the tannery.......if you had to do this to survive you were "Piss Poor". But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a pot......they "didnt have a pot to piss in" & were the lowest of the low

                                The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500s:

                                Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and they still smelled pretty good by June. However, since they were starting to smell ... brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.

                                Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the
                                babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the Bath water!"

                                Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip an d fall off the roof. Hence the saying "It's raining cats and dogs."

                                There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence.

                                The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying, "Dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance-way. Hence: a thresh hold.

                                (Getting quite an education, aren't you?)

                                In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire.. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme: Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old.

                                Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could, "bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and chew the fat.

                                Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food, causing lead poisoning death. This happened most often with tomatoes, so for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous.

                                Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the upper crust.

                                Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a wake.

                                England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift.) to listen for the bell; thus,someone could be, saved by the bell or was considered a dead ringer...

                                And that's the truth...Now, whoever said History was boring ! ! !

                                So . . . get out there and educate someone! ~~~ Share these facts with a friend

I doubt the validity of quite a lot of that although some sounds plausible. The bell ringing was not done on a large scale. I think it happened once in an Edgar Allan Poe story (or someone like that). Also i've lived in England a fair while and never heard of a bone house although there are bone mills where animal bones were crushed down to add strength to clay that could then make very thin, white porcelain = bone china.

Can you help with this problem?
