There's an error in the BIOS settings. Obviously not serious. It tells you on thge line above (on idiot configured machines it may be in quiet mode - you see a logo instead of messages - fix this fault in the BIOS too). Typically if you stick memory in a machine you have to enter and leave the BIOS cos the BIOS goes "Ohh, I ve got lots of memory - but my saved setting say I shouldn't have that much - better tell the user". You enter and leave and that saves the new amount. You can also tell the BIOS not to tell you (important if your keyboard breaks cos you can't press F1 - but if it doesn't wait for it you can boot up with mouse only)

Read your manual.

Mr. Candy enable word wrap please. Scrolling side to side
is annoying as hell. NEXT TIME I'LL SHOUT IF YOU DON'T GET
THE MESSAGE. I'm trying to ask nicely but you don't seem
to care about people viewing your posts. Thanks and please
don't get upset. I'm just trying to point out that you are
not being considerate and that the way you post is a pain.
Have fun.

Use the correct software. I've explained to you before, you moron, the reason. I'm using internet standard encoding called Quoted Printable. It prevents link breaking. So shove it up your arse.
