The Dell TaskManager :(

JustSam
Hi, I have a Dell and it seems they've tweaked the TaskManager to remove the border and any tabs it normally has. I have no x at the top of the screen when I open it so the only way it can be closed is to right click on the tray icon and select close.

Sims 2 compatible graphics cards. Is ATI 9200SE OK?

King Robb
I'm looking at purchasing a new computer, as my old one hasn't a chance at running the SIMS 2 - the new game my daughter has to have. Anyway, most entry level systems, in my neck of town, that don't have a built in graphics card use a ATI 9200SE 128MB card.

RAM

poLKaDotBiKiNi41
When I first received Windows XP, about 2 1/2 years ago, 256 MB were available for RAM. Now, only 254 MB are available. Does anyone know what could have caused the 2 MB to disappear? Does anyone know how to get it back? Thank you.

Editing the Startup file?

Sam_Seed
Is there a way to edit your startup in Win 2K. It was easy in Windows 98 with the msconfig utility, but 2K does not seem to have this feature. I have looked all over and cannot find anything that will allow me to edit the programs that launch on startup.

External enclosure VS External HD

HawkBoy
Hi, I'm beginning to run out of disk space on my laptop and am considering getting an external drive. I would still run apps off of my laptop HD, but would use the external space for keeping videos, pictures, and hopefully as cache for file-sharing, etc.
