Looks like nobody was able to add any insight to this matter. Well I choked and bought the disks. Installation went fine and had no problems since.

For those with similar problems order the HP...

Is it possible that if my PC dose not have internal speakers I wont hear a POST?

And if it dosent have internal speakers what can I hook up to it to ensure I can hear a POST beep.

So I just want to confirm how to figure out when your motherboard is dead. My Gateway GT5235H Media Center Desktop Computer was functioning fine for a few weeks until suddenly one day when I tried to...

Hi

I’ve recently come into possession of a Sony Vaio VGN-N230E notebook computer (http://esupport.sony.com/CA/perl/swu-list.pl?mdl=VGNN230E&LOC=3) and I’m having problems restoring it to factory...

How rewarding would career in information technology be if you enjoy fiddling around with computer software and hardware, troubleshooting and fixing them? Any good and bad experiences anybody from...

I have no idea how to work with the screen considering it dosent have a power box I can take out and replace as far as I know.

Thanks for the reassuring comments.

I think the best bet is just replacing the PSU. A voltage transformer just leaves open to many undesirable possibilities and safely speaking, Id rather just...

Wow, thats one hell of an infected system.

As a person interested in becoming a technician, does this kind of sever case happen often?

So I have a question. Recently while I was in Europe I purchased a Torax AMD 4200 computer bundle complete with an LCD monitor equipped with XP Professional edition… I bought it due to the fact that...

I checked the CD and its there, so what could it be? A faulty CD ROM drive? Or should I just get the techs to make me a new one?

I recently came back from a Europe trip for five months,
and when I arrived home I took my computer system from out of the garage
from which it was stored and tried booting it back up.

For some...

My older brother recently inherited an older sony laptop P3 http://altura.speedera.net/ccimg.catalogcity.com/210000/213200/213210/Products/6191580.jpg

Its in good running order and operates...

Nah I dont live in Fort McMurray any longer. I moved to Calgary.

And I've seen reasonably good models for under 500 dollars at Futureshop, Bestbuy, and Sector Computers. I just wasnt interested in...

Well I decided to cave and bring it into my local computer repair shop. They are going to do a hardware scan using some software I'm sure was mentioned earlier that I couldnt seem to find on a search...

Where can I get that software?

How much does a new mother board going to range to cost me?

Anyone?

Ok I didn’t do exactly what you said, but I did the next best thing. I took the 512DDR chip from my computers board and punched it into the module slot on the Cicero board and was left with the same...

No but I'll give it a whirl and report my results in a few minutes

I went out to a local computer retailer and bought a used RAM 256 chip and attempted the reinstallation progress with the same results. This time the error message said...

I did just that. Things seemed to run smoother, and longer. In fact I even got to an installation progress screen; however the blue screen of death reared its ugly head again with the same error...

Bad everything eh? I’m just curious as to how hardware like that even gets to be like… you know… bad? Overuse? Someone tinkering inside of the unit and jolting static electricity everywhere? In that...

Ok heres my problem, and I intend to explain it in great detail so you can presume that this problem is a lengthy one. I hope someone has the courage to read through all of it and help me out. I'd...

Hi

I’m currently attempting to fix an older Cicero model I’ve had since my mother fried the hard drive a few year ago. It’s an AMD Athlon XP 2200 I believe (although I may be wrong)

Anyways...

Ya I'm having the exact same problem since my brother went on my computer, and I'm positive this isnt legitmate software even though its allegedly coming straight from microsoft.

How do I get rid...

No one? Am I missing some hot topic about this problem or is it just me?

Is it just me or is there a problem with the spybot software?

Not so long ago when I tried to update the definitions it gave me an error message "!!!bad checksum!"

I was having other problems...

My regedit does not stay open when I run it from the msconfig screen. It gives me a dos window and then closes immediately.

Recently I uninstalled Lime wire file sharing software after discovering what it really was! Unfortunately it has permanently disabled my task manager from being opened.

What exactly can I do to...

I have the kind of XP OS that dosent come with recovery discs, you had to make them when you first get your computer, which I did to avoid any problems later on by not having them.

Whats the odds...

Product key? Hmm did that come with my Compaq plastic satchel of goodies and manuals?

If say, you suspect you have some viral files that replaced some important window system files lurking about your computer… and regardless of what you try, you cant seem to locate them, let alone get...

That stuff dosent overwrite??

That seems a bit silly, wouldnt uninstalling my old driver disable the card all together? I wouldnt be able to see anything on my screen

Has anybody else encountered the same problem I did when they updated their Radieon 9200 graphics card and recieved the Catalyst Display popup features?

I updated recently from the Windows update...

Thanks, was that the only spyware related component you found? If so thats a relief and it shows that I have at least been doing something right.

Any ideas on why my PF usage is so high?
