Hi Bobby:
Doesn't sound dumb. But, yes, I have current going to the power supply.
Thanks for your reply.

HI:
After a three week vacation, I turned on my older computer and nothing happened -- no lights, fans, or any action whatsoever. I tore it apart, checked the push button switch and its wiring to...

Hi Prometheus,
I've actually done all that you have suggested. I purchased a new board with the same results. Checked all wiring and cleaned contacts, etc. I guess it must be something on the MB....

Hey all,

I finally gave up on the problem. I honestly did try all of everyone's suggestions, to no avail. I was able to get into XL using Bart's PE disk and then saved all my personal files...

Hi nanosani,

Sorry for the delay -- wish there were more than 24 hours in a day.

The error message on the blue screen is:

Thanks, dude for the quick reply.

I don't think the problem is with drivers -- the program doesn't recognize the card or is able to get the proper drivers from the WIN98 disk. Is there a way to...

Hi,
I formatted my HD and reinstalled WIN 98. I'm OK with that part but when it came to answering the question about all the devices it found, there were no drivers that they could use from the...

Yes, thank you jbennet. I found that out while researching this whole problem.

Thank you, cutepinkbunnies, for the quick reply. I was able to get the key from HP, the maker of my old computer. I reinstalled WIN98, but wish it was the second edition. Now I have the project of...

Hi,
I suppose this problem has been covered over and over, but here goes:
I have an older machine that had Win 98 on it but bombed out. After many hours trying to get Windows to run, and since I...
