 | Yes. You can use your XP pro disk to start the recovery console and make changes to XP home. I just fixed a Dell this way... It was stuck in a restart loop caused but a virus. The XP pro allowed me to find a backup boot.ini file so I … |
| | If you open the time properties and look at the AM/PM section, I believe you can put any text there. Find "Batangas" and replace it with AM / PM.

| | You should not need to install any software. I have a few questions for you. How did the Winows 98 PC connect to the internet in the past? Do you have the ethernet cables connected? What happens when you open the web browser (Internet Explorer)? |
| | You are talking about a personal decision. If it were me, I would back up your files and remove old files & programs. If you do re-size your partitions, I would say to leave a partition that is 1.6 times to size of the max RAM your system will accept. … |

| | As I'm sure you know, win98 is no longer supported by Microsoft, so Windows Live Mail is not availale for it. You could set up a gmail account and forward your Windows Live Mail there. You would need them use gmail on both machines. [url]http://www.bukisa.com/articles/116401_forward-windows-live-mail-to-gmail[/url] Good Luck |
| | You can access other websites, but not a few? |
| | I had a bit of trouble following your post, but what I took away was this (correct me if I am wrong): Laptop Slow booting and running. Blue Screen Stop errors. Computer restarts while defragmenting. Deleted drivers in Device Manager. Problems running Windows update. Automatic Updates on, but unable to … |
| | Interesting. Does it spin up? If your CD/DVD ROM is SATA, you could try swaping their cables? If the CD still boots, I would focus your attention on the new drive. If not, the controller may be bad (onboard?) Post back here and let us know what you find out. … |
| | Try this link for your driver: [url]http://download.cnet.com/C-Media-AC97-Audio-Device/3000-2110_4-154785.html[/url] Click the "Download Now" button and save it to your desktop. Right-click the icon and select "Extract All..." Use the default settings to extract the files to a new folder (on the desktop). Go back to the device manager. Right-click the driver and … |
| | Your link was dead. I would look at cooling issues. Does this machine start after sitting for an hour or so? Or is it not starting at all now? Fans all running? |

| | You should search your BIOS settings, or the documentation. Expand every setting that has to do with hard drives and controllers. I would expect that you would find it under something like Hard Disk Controllers and the choices to be SATA, IDE, Both. But BIOS GUIs are all a bit … |
| | Do I understand that the PSU fan is turning? Sometimes certain voltages will fail without others. Most PSU fans run at 12v. You could plug in a usb device (one with lights) to check the 5v. Another idea is to clean out the dust. Be sure to avoid electro-static discharge. … |
| | Did you ever resolve this issue? I would say, "you need to go to d-links website and download the latest driver," but your product has been discontinued so they may not have a newer driver. [url]http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=358[/url] If you have resolved this issue, let us know what you did, and mark … |
| | I suspect you are getting a "Checksum" error or keyboard error and can't see it. Can you see the POST messages normally? If you send more information about your motherboard, I could try to find specific information, but usually there is a button to press which will ignor the error … |
| | sssmurphy: Bob_180_Bob seems to be leaning toward what I'm thinking. You deleted the "Active Partition." The partition you thought was empty, was probably your restore partition and the files hidden. If Bob's suggestion doesn't work, use fdisk or diskpart to set the restore partition as the active partition and reboot. … |
| | Are you putting the USB device in the same port each time? Some devices will install once for each port you plug it in to. Also, are you properly stopping the device before removing it? |
| | Is this a new problem on a system that has been running? What were the circumstances when it quit working? Is the "netdriver card" Ethernet adapter? No lights implies no connection or bad card. Assuming this is an Ethernet adapter, check the pins and make sure they look undamaged and … |
| | Did you resolve this issue? I was going to suggest that Bio matter may be causing issues with your RAM, but it is unlikely that anything could get into a hard drive. |
| | Under Vista, I try to install a Lexmark x2600, but am prompted to click OK to uninstall old software. It had been working before, but suddenly stopped. The owner says she uninstalled the printer and all software, which I verified. I also deleted any lexmark folders, registry keys,and services (why … |
| | I assume you've checked windows firewall. I would uninstall all antivirus/malware/adware programs (if only to resolve the issue) and install comodo Internet Security Suite. It will offer an alternate DNS server. It also shows the status of ports. Post back here if you do not resolve the issue. |
| | There have been several versions of malware going around that can cause this. Malwarebytes takes care of most of them. Some alter the hosts file at windows\system32\drivers\etc. Right-click, select open, from the list of programs select notepad. If there are a lot of IP addresses followed by websites, this may … |
