To the member I am quoting do you have a Kodak program on a computer you use and that is how you knew the following. What is spoolsv?- Kodak opens the program or code via spoolsv.exe. To the member I am quoting what do you mean by memory allocations. I know that RAM stands for random access memory, but what is RAM used for on a computer. Why is there both physical and virtual RAM and not just one of these two forms of RAM? All printer programs use "spool" because that is the printing executable. Memory is allocated to each programs' memory needs onto RAM for storing temporary memory. Sometimes there is limited physical ram so virtual ram helps to provide more memory. To the member I am quoting did you mention Kodak in a post you posted in this thread on July 21, 2011 because of the following thing I said in a post in this thread on July 18, 2011. If I am right on why you mentioned Kodak in the post you posted in this thread on July 21, 2011 than I would like you to know that when I mentioned the following in a post in this thread on July 18, 2011 I was referring to the Kodak digital camera software I put on a computer I use from a CD I was given with a Kodak camera I use.-Why is Kodak update a process? To the member I am quoting have you used more than one printer on a computer and that is how you knew the following.-All printer programs use "spool" because that is the printing executable. To the member I am quoting do you know what a spool is when referring to a printer. What I am asking is why do printer programs use spool as printing executable. To the member I am quoting what do you mean by the following. I still don't know what allocations means when referring to a computer.-Memory is allocated to each programs' memory needs onto RAM To the member I am quoting if sometimes there is limited physical ram so virtual ram helps to provide more memory than how can there be virtual ram on a computer. I was wondering if anyone knows why RAM is needed on computers. |

Yea I've used more than one printer on a computer. Printers use spool to spool the data to the printer.
Allocation is designating which memory to go to which program.
Virtual ram takes up HD space.
RAM is needed on computers because it's what provides short term memory to the computer.

To the member I am quoting why does RAM provide only short term memory to a computer. Spool: It's how printers transfer info from the computer to the printer. Each program memory usage is dependent on how many tasks it is performing. Virtual memory takes up HD space (which can be recovered after a reboot) to compensate for lack of physical memory. RAM provides short term memory so that its allocation is temporary. |

To the member I am quoting can you share a name of a program and some of the tasks a program can perform when referring to the following thing you said.-Each program memory usage is dependent on how many tasks it is performing To the member I am quoting how can virtual memory be recovered after a reboot. Is a reboot on a computer only done when the restart feature on a computer is used or can restarting a computer using the power button also be considered a reboot. To the member I am quoting why wouldn't a computer have enough physical memory so virtual memory is not needed. To the member I am quoting what do you mean by the following. Does allocation when referring to a computer mean a place where something is located on a computer and if I am right on this than is that why you said allocaton in more than one post in this thread? I still don't get why the following thing you said needs to be done on a computer.-RAM provides short term memory so that its allocation is temporary |

1. Firefox
2. It's wiped out from the HD space, either from a reboot or power off.
3. That depends on the executed program(s).
4. Allocation means placing something within the computer.

To the member I am quoting why does the following thing you said happen with virtual memory.-It's wiped out from the HD space, either from a reboot or power off.

1. It's simply an automated process to flush out old memory.
2. Microsoft paint but that also depends on how many programs are open and how much resources they're taking.
3. Computer bytes.

To the member I quoting why does old memory need to be flushed from a computer and what is an example of something on a computer that needs to be flushed. To the member I am quoting why does Microsoft paint use virtual memory. Why does the following thing you said depend on how many programs are open and how much resources they are taking? What is one or more resouces that you are referring to when you said the followig?-Microsoft paint but that also depends on how many programs are open and how much resources they're taking To the member I am quoting what are computer bytes. |

1. So there's new room for memory. Virtual memory needs to be flushed.
2. MS paint would only use virtual memory if there's not enough available physical memory. The more programs and resources in use the more memory is being used.
3. Computer bytes is a measurement of computer data.

I was wondering if anyone who reads this post knows why when FF is downloaded to a Windows XP computer and someone goes to Start it doesn't show anything that says Internet Explorer, but it does show something that says Internet Mozilla FireFox.
I believe in the past when a Windows XP computer didn't have FF downloaded to it and someone went to Start it did show something that said Internet Explorer.
I was also wondering how the E image for Internet Explorer can be added to a Windows XP computer task bar. I asked this because I believe I have seen the E image in a Windows XP computer task bar on a different Windows XP computer I have used, but the current Windows XP computer I am using doesn't show the E image in the task bar.

Because IE shortcuts are replaced by FF shortcuts.
The reason why you don't see the E image for IE is either because you don't have a shortcut of it on the taskbar or you do have it but it's on a different taskbar toolbar that's not showing up correctly.

To the member I am quoting why is IE shortcuts replaced by FF shortcuts. Are you also saying that anything that is listed under Start on a Windows XP computer that is not lised under All Programs such as Internet Mozilla FireFox is considered a shortcut. If am wrong on what I said about shorcut in the 2nd sentance in this paragraph of this post than let me know this. To the member I am quoting if I did have the E image for IE on a different taskbar than the taskbar that I see on a computer I am using than why would there be more than one taskbar on a computer. Why did you say taskbar toolbar and not just taskbar? To the member I am quoting or to anyone else who reads this post I still would like to know how the E image for Internet Explorer can be added to a Windows XP computer taskbar. |

1. Because you installed FF over IE. Generally, items under the Start menu are shortcuts.
2. There's only one taskbar that is able to contain multiple toolbars (aka taskbar toolbars.)
3. Drag the IE browser window onto the taskbar.

Drag the IE browser window onto the taskbar. To the member I am quoting why did installing FF make FF go over IE? If a member installed another browser such as Google Chrome than would Google Chrome go over FF. To the member I am quoting why would a taskbar on a computer contain multiple toolbars. What makes some things on a taskbar a toolbar? To the member I am quoting I tried doing what you said to do in 3 in the quote I am quoting from you, but it didn't work. I was however able to search online to find out how to add icons to a taskbar and the following website explained what I was able to do to get the E icon on the taskbar on a computer. Go to How to add cons to a taskbar When I went to the link I shared above it said Right-click the taskbar, select "Toolbars" and select the "Quick Launch" option. Why is there a Quick Launch option and why am I not able to see what is under Quick Launch until a check mark is in front of Quick Launch? When Quick Launch showed up the IE, FF and Quick Time icons showed without me having to drag and drop these icons to the Quick Launch toolbar. |
