Cheers,

I saw a message  recently about  "PARITY CHECK 2"  errors however I did not
see any solutions to the problem, is there a solution?

I work in one of the computer labs  here at DAL and we seem to have lots of
"PARITY CHECK 2" errors on our IBM-PC's.  I thought that this was a problem
that was unfixable however I came accross a program called MORERAM recently
and noticed that it mentions "PARITY CHECK 2" errors,  and seems to suggest
that they can be eliminated via. software. (See documentation below)

;	your PC really has. (It also clears this memory in the process
;	to eliminate PARITY 2 errors later).

    Could someone shed some light on this issue?  What is a quick and dirty
way of eliminating these problems?

						Thanks v. much,
