SYMPTOMS
Some of the text on the General tab in the System tool in Control Panel may not be readable in the Danish-language version of Windows 2000 after you install Service Pack 2 (SP2).

Specifically, the text that indicates the installed amount of memory (RAM) may be on top of other text that identifies the computer type. This text is located directly above the Support Information (Supportoplysninger) button. The &quot;Physical Address Extension&quot; text may also be overwritten.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the text-box alignment on the General tab is incorrect.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was first corrected in Windows 2000 Service Pack 3.

Key name: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DESCRIPTION\System

Value name: Identifier

Value type: REG_SZ

Value data: AT/AT COMPATIBLE (this is an example)

Physical Address Extension (PAE) support requires an Intel-architecture processor (Pentium Pro or later), more than 4 gigabytes of RAM, and either Windows 2000 Advanced Server or Microsoft Windows 2000 Datacenter Server.
