works flawlessly
If ne solution, pls suggest......Would be Very Thakful
Digital Compass -- @ 1st problem.
Its not a real problem at all. I hope your must be a 32 bit system. any 32 bit system will only use 3.5Gb of RAM in winxp and 3 GB in windows Vista. Rest of memory will never be used and never be shown.
@ 2nd problem.
Check whether the Nvidia drivers are updated till curren tdate. Here is the link:
