Does anyone know what is wrong with PalmGear.com. I have tried all weekend to order a program and the Web site is malfunctioning. I also get a message that ?all circuits are busy, please try your call again later? when I try to call. I have tried the direct number and the 1/800 sales number (that gives me a message about a $4 charge for directory assistance calls, no thanks). I figured it was just the weekend, but I get exactly the same now. Any ideas????

I just tried downloading a couple programs and had no problem. Plus, over the weekend I downloaded a few dia skins. Your problem is not with palmgear.com.
I wish you luck

I'd suggest you clear out the Internet Cache files: Go into I.E. choose Tools, Internet Options then the "delete files" button - the one in the middle both horizontally and vertically. This should fix the issue but you'll have to exit I.E. and then open it again.
If your not using Internet Explorer (I. E.) then look for a similar command in Firefox etc depending upon what other browser you may be using.

I found the problem, they were inadvertently blacklisted on my MailWasherPro. Thanks for the info. I will do that also. On a different subject, how can I change the size of my page file and virtual memory. I occasionally get a message that Windows is doing it automatically, and it works so much better afterward. If I can set it myself, it would save a lot of wasted time and effort. If not thanks anyway. Feel free to PM me if it is not appropriate for this forum. Thanks.
Hi DrBaer! Speaking for W2K (XP probably the same?) . . . .
Right click "My Computer."
Click "Properties"
Click "Advanced"
click "Performance Options"
You're given a choice of optimizing for applications or background processes - I have "applications," which I believe is the default.
I have my pagefile set very low at 240 and it works GREAT, but YMMV.
"Max-Mem", available at MajorGeeks, is an excellent RAM gauge and will give you an idea of how much you're using when the PC is "up and running," but not using any applications. It is also a RAM "freer/defragger," but if you don't want ot bother with any extraneous stuff, just right click taskbar at bottom and select Task Manager. Compare reading to how much you have "stock" (256/512/1024, etc). If you've got a good amount left, you can safely lower the page/swap file although there are "bottom limits," especially with XP. I love Windows, but my W2K is trimmed to the max and IS more efficient - XP does an awful lot of "stuff."
The pagefile only kicks in when your system is running low on RAM; it becomes "virtual ram" and a sort of cushion. You do NOT want it happening if it can be avoided, and "buying more RAM" although the knee-jerk reaction, isn't always necessary. By configuring AntiVirus, firewalls and especially Windows start up services (there's around 12 you don't need to be "automatic!") - to be lean and mean, saves anywhere from 25-60MB of RAM after startup. THIS ALSO can help you reduce pagefile without adverse effects.
Hope this helps.

Rule of thumb for all windows 2K/XP machines, set page file min and max to the same value, and choose a number between 1.5 and 2 times the amount of physical ram in the system. Setting both to the same thing will keep your machine from "borrowing" if it runs out, and that number is actually reccomended in most windows forums for performance sake. Unless of course, you have multiple Gigabytes of RAM...
