I would think you'd get an error message if the HD is dead. Check the video cable for a good connection. What's the make and model of this machine? Do you have a restore or install disk? What's the OS?

Disconnect the monitor from the computer and carefully re-connect it. It's possible you need to buy a graphics card. Have you checked for Dust/dirt?

Too many problems to mess with, especially the loose CPU clip. Get a new computer. Removing the data and transferring is very simple with the right adapters: [url]http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2477926&CatId=470[/url] (USB/IDE/SATA adapter)

Your computer is trying to boot from a network, and not finding it. You can try changing the boot order in the BIOS, but a typical cause is Hard Drive death. The network boot is one of the boot options, and the BIOS may be searching all the alternatives due …

Random restarts always make me think of heat and power issues (4 Fans? Why?) The fact that you've been tinkering and don't have much experience suggests you should carefully check all your work. Re-seat everything. Ramjo has a good question:What happens when you disconnect this drive?

We need to know what process is using all the memory. In Task Manager, click on the memory column and the highest numbers will show at the top. Identify the process(es) and go from there. Ending that process should free up the memory it's using. Google "Nero memory leak" and …

He doesn't seem to be talking about Program Files. He mentions a folder called "C:/Program". What is in this folder? Where did it come from? If you created it, I see no problem with renaming it.

There's no question in here. (Also, no punctuation, no caps, third grade spelling). I'm going to guess that you want to use the move command.

If the log files have been properly configured, you should be able to find the info: [url]http://thesource.ofallevil.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/b344f84e-bc77-4019-859c-9d483bc85c77.mspx?mfr=true[/url] See also: [url]http://searchexchange.techtarget.com/tip/0,289483,sid43_gci1126458,00.html[/url] I've made a zillion mistakes, and this is one of them, so I'd assume this was my own error.

This is likely to be some other problem. Run defrag and chkdsk. Check for adequate disk space. Check Event viewer as well-look for disk errors.

Each of these messages refers to a startup entry that was improperly removed. System restore may be the easiest way to resolve this. Startup Cop may be useful: [url]http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,2173,00.asp[/url]

What XP disk are you using? Is it supplied by HP? Why not just clone the old drive? It's possible the CD is damaged or dirty-try cleaning it.

This could be a bad drive or bad media. You could try reinstalling Nero, and check the Nero site for updates.

Logic suggests that this is a problem with the network, not the three different laptops that work fine on other networks. Run your router setup again from scratch, including the wireless setup. I understand what you're saying about security, but it's quite risky to run without firewall or wireless security, …

Look in Control Panel/Admin Tools/Event viewer for System or application errors. Chkdsk and defrag may help. Are your virus definitions and anti spyware apps to date and scanning?

If you're an administrator, open Control Panel/User Accounts and delete that account. You should be asked if you want to retain that user's files. Say "No".

What kind of computer is this? It's not clear to me that this machine will boot at all. Can you get into XP? Are there any error messages or past problems? One guess would be a power supply problem.

You should be able to find a replacement battery with Google. Try here, for instance: [url]http://www.sparepartswarehouse.com/[/url] "Operating system not found" means the HD has not been properly initialized. Do you get this error with the battery removed? This could be a HD problem, or a lack of sufficient power at …

Let's see what's actually going on. Right-click MY Computer/Manage/Disk Management. This shows your disk and what's installed. What are the partitions and disks shown, and their description?

It sounds as though this program has modified or blocked your email program. One suggested fix is here: [url]http://www.iolo.com/customercare/search.aspx[/url] Frankly, any program that behaves this way should be immediately be uninstalled.

That takes me back to the days when we rebooted to DOS for the same reason. This can be done, and it's explained here: [url]http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/xpprofiles.htm[/url] Read it carefully, as there's a lot involved. You might be better off just disabling a few services and adding max memory to your computer.

It's hard to tell what atl7.dll is-some report it as spyware, some say it's Music Match. The real problem may be CCApp, which is part of Norton.

You need to start by addressing the overheating issue. Check your fan, case and heatsink for dust and proper operation. Install a case fan, if necessary. Reseat your memory and cards while you're at it. I'd rather get on with my game also, but some problems just can't be ignored.:)

This sounds like a bad disk. Try running chkdsk /r from recovery console, or install the disk in another computer and try chkdsk. The file you want is the outlook.pst file associated with your profile.

You need a big, fast server. There are many sites that offer video hosting and you'd be much better off outsourcing this project, which can be very expensive and time consuming. Google "Video server host" or something similar to find some offers.

What is your OS? Do you have a router? What make and model is your computer? You should be able to configure this connection manually-no CD is really needed. Try the internet connection wizard in Network Settings.
