Need Assistance From Computer Savvy People

[debmidge]

Dear Friends

I want to install Gluten Guard but it requires

1) Drive Space of 85 mb of free space

2) memory 256 mb

How do I know if my computer has enough of this space? Where do I check?

I am computer illiterate and desperately need to find this out before I purchase the program. I have no one to ask as my family is worse than I am when it comes to computers, many of them refuse to even get a computer. They'd rather work on cars or cook or exercise or play bingo or raise their children, etc.

Thank you very much

I'm afraid I can't help you. I was totally shocked that I tested out of Basic Cpu Skills for online college. Now I need to figure out how to install MS Office 2003.

Dessa: I believe we are the generation that technology skipped over. When this PC stuff first came out I was emersed in my career and didn't have time to study something above and beyond my career subject. When we were in school there was no such thing as PC's. The seniors have picked it up from their grandchildren (remember, I am childless and my nieces & nephews are under age 9). I can't afford a computer course nor have the time. I need a sixteen year old to show me all this stuff! But I don't know any!!

Assuming you are using windows not a mac ..

On the desktop select the my computer and then right click and see properties

In the 'general' tab at the bottom will say how much memory you have.

Cancel this and then left double click on my computer, you will have a 'lcal disk c:' icon, right click and select proerties again, this should tell you total space and the amount free underneath.

Get back with any questions

As far as the amount of memory goes, left click on the "Start" button in the lower left corner and then left click on "Control Panel". Locate the "System" incon in the Control Panel window and left double click on it. Under the "General" tab there is information about the amount of ram installed in your computer. If necessary, you can have more memory installed.

Woops, I see the previous resonder already addressed the memory issue. Sorry.

if you are on a Mac then click on the apple top left corner and the top one in the drop down list that says "about this Mac" is where you click to find out the information.
