I recently installed 512 mb more ram in my Toshiba laptop P25-S676..This
gave me a total of 1024.  It worked well for a week or so, and it still
works, until I try to load a game I've been playing.  I get a blue

Have deleted higher & Lower in registery.
The recording tab enabled.

I have a Mag Innovision LCD monitor and it has not been working properly
lately.  Sometimes when I turn on the computer the monitor goes on for a few
