You'll also need to use your recollection of how much RAM it was reporting before this happened. Were both DIMMs operational at some time ? Or has that one been sitting on an angle for a while ? For example, say the DIMMs were 2x1GB. Were you seeing 1GB reported in Task Manager ? Or was 2GB reported from the day you took delivery of the 780 ? If you've been operating the machine without the benefit of that second DIMM, maybe you don't need it. If you do need it, and the second DIMM tests bad, then you could buy another. You can "use the slots that don't complain" if you want, or find the entry in the 780 manual that explains how to reprogram that feature so the other slots are honored. ******* Flash is currently at 27.0.0.187 http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/about/ Here is a set of links I posted a year ago. Substitute the 27.0.0.187 number in the field where it says 23.0.0.207. Netscape, Seamonkey, Firefox (npapi-type browsers...) http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/23.0.0.207/install_flash_player ..exe Older versions of Internet Explorer which don't have built-in flash http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/23.0.0.207/install_flash_player _ax.exe An uninstaller (if it was really broken or something) http://download.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/support/uninstall_flash_ player.exe Test page, so you can check the version number on it. http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ So that means, you want this one right now for Firefox. It downloaded. http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/27.0.0.187/install_flash_player ..exe When you download one of those, if you plan to keep it, you should modify the filename so you can remember what it's for. "install_flash_player__27_0_0_187_npapi.exe" For SRWare Iron (a defunct Chrome-a-like for WinXP), you'd need PepperFlash (ppapi) plugin. https://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/27.0.0.187/install_flash_playe r_ppapi.exe In the table here, when it says "embedded", that means the browser should download it (somehow) on its own. So Chrome takes care of itself, while Chromium requires the user to do the manual ppapi download. On embedded browsers, the delivery of the plugin isn't always uniformly fast, and sometimes an update can be a day late on those. It all depends on which way the wind is blowing at the time. http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/about/ HTH, Paul --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.1 * Origin: Prison Board BBS Mesquite Tx //telnet.RDFIG.NET www.
