    UPDATE. My CF-19 has been rocking along. Very few problems. I think I need to upgrade my RAM. So as I understand, XP Tablet will only recognize 3gb even if I put in 4gb. But if I am using Ubuntu 14.4 (I have a bootable USB drive), it will recognize the 4gb. Is this correct? What happens if I buy Windows 7 or 8.1, they will recognize the 4gb too?

    One issue that I can't seem to figure out is getting my free version of Norton from Comcast to install. I get to 95%+, then I get an error message. I deleted my Sbybot. Same thing happens. I reinstalled the recovery disk(forgetting the pictures I had on the computer like a dummy) thinking maybe Spybot left something behind but still the same error message. I even contacted Norton. I gave up after an hour because I was getting frustrated. Do you think that the problem is that it is XP tablet and not XP. I'm at a loss. Not a big surprise since I don't know that much, just enough to get into trouble.

    My opinionated and experienced answers.

    XP ,,Win7 32bit,, Win8 32bit All can only see 3.3gb or Ram..

    Win7 64bit,,Win8 64bit can see and NEED more Ram....Which 95% of the users will NEVER need or use..

    The following is copied from the net
    Ubuntu 32 Bit - 4GB RAM

    Ubuntu 32 Bit + PAE (Physical Address Extension) - 64GB RAM

    Ubuntu x32ABI - 4GB RAM (This is for 32 Bit architecture modified with 64 Bit enhancements running on 64 Bit hardware. It is not yet available.)

    Ubuntu 64 Bit - A LOT! (Actually 2^64) but because of hardware limits and real world computers the limit is around 1TB ( 1024GB RAM)

    I gave up on everything from Norton years ago    ....I've been running Comodo Internet security Free edition....

    I like Zorin as a Linux flavor. Otherwise run Win7 32bit...

    Quick question about the dock replicator, is it ok to pop the laptop in and out while it is on or do I need to turn it off every time?

    It's normal.

    OK, sounds good. I was using a wire wrapped around my tongue and sticking it wall outlet ground.

    " I was using a wire wrapped around my tongue and sticking it wall outlet ground."
    :laugh:

    this reminds me of a trick we pulled on dumb kids when we were young ...
    it involved an electric fence and getting the kid to urinate withing arms reach of it .

    Bad, very bad. :D

    So now I have another issue. Every time I shut the computer off or it goes into sleep mode, the number lock turns on by itself. Weird stuff. I asked my friend, he's not sure why it does that. It's a pain in da rear I tell you. Anyone have an idea how I turned this on or more important, H0W DO I SHUT IT OFF!?!?

    I can't find the option in the BIOS. I tried the regedit twice with no change. Any ideas?

    It did not!
    I need to get ready for Christmas Eve!!
    I will be leaving but I will make a video showing what I did!!!
    LOL!!!!

    I don't know what else to say. I followed the instructions from the website. As soon as restart or wake up happens, I'm right back in the same place. The only thing I can figure out is it started after my friend installed some ad blocker deal on Sunday.

    Soooooooo........the computer fixed itself. I used the fixes that BaRRmaley suggested. After about 2 dozen cycles, things seem to be back to normal.
