can u tell me the name of the driver on that site? please

no ,sorry you should be able to figure that out,use you service tag on the site i posted and it will list the drivers for you laptop !
i have no way of know what ones are correct if there is more than one to choose from for anyone device ,
the ones with yellow ! are clearly marked as,network adapter / video device /or sound/audio device ,ect ect

went to my computer/properties /hardware/device manager there are no red or yellow mark, 1394 net adapter is there.
but other devices under the network adapter,it has yellow marks(like ethernet controller,multimedia audio contrller,PCI Device, PCI Modem, Video Controller)

1394 adapter is a firewire adapter ,
you need to go to the dell site i posted above and download and install drivers,for all the devices with the yellow marks ,like sound/video/network adapter ,motherboard chipset and so on ,if you don't know how to do this then take it to someone who does

I have a HP Pavillion ZV6000 laptop. I had to replace the keyboard. When you remove the keyboard, there is a small plastic bezel that holds the ribbon cable in place when it is inserted in the female end. I broke it while removing the old keyboard and can't find it in the parts list. Does anyone have one or know where I can find one? I am sure its not even worth the price of the stamp but nevertheless I need it. Thank you. Alan

been there done that or at least something similar,i broke the little clips off that hold down the part you mention ,i then used hot glue gun to clue it in place ,its still working after 3mnts

you maybe able to slave you harddrive into another computer to retrieve the data ,if it picks up your drive

I am trying to connect to the internet throght comcast high speed modem

how ,wired or wireless

ok, right click on mycomputer,go to properties /hardware/device manager ,and make sure the network adapter is installed ,hit the + by network adapter and see what it says .make sure there are no red or yellow ! marks next to it ,if there is then the drivers aren't install for the network adapter ,then go to dell site to get drivers ,

What about an external plug??

Taking a converter and plugging the DDR ram into this converter than then fits into your SD slot..... (Could work)
I like to experiment and discover things most people wouldnt notice :)
Thanx for your responses guys :

i bet that would work, is there such an adapter on the market

Im pretty sure it is a firewall issue.

how could that be if you turned the firewall off its no longer a issue .
what you have is a screwed up registry caused by virus/Trojan in my opinion ,i don't know how to fix it ,but i know how i fixed it a few times .format and reload winxp .worked for me a number of time now! on computers with the same problem

hi!
type this into Start/run , compmgmt.msc , go to disk management in the left pane, and the rest of the drive should show there ,you can activate and format it and use it for storage

Reinstalling the OS is a possibility but I would really prefer not to. What can I do?

time to bite the bullet and give in and do what you prefer not to do

.ie7 and other issues sound trojan related .maybe run this program ,www.malwarebytes.org

Hello and welcome to daniweb ,this link may or may not help http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324103

there has to be something in the roxio program settings /preference to stop it from being the default burning program .if not ,i would uninstall it,use regedit or a registry cleaner like ccleaner to clean it from the registry , then reinstall roxio,you should be asked about file association ,if so deselect all listed if they are checked off ! this worked for me with Nero ,haven't used Roxio though in about 8 yrs

Hi All
I'm debbie computer science student from technical university of cluj napoca Romania.This is my final year, so i've gotta start my thesis...I need ur help! I'm interested in computer network cabling.. my tutor asked me to come up with some ideas for a possible subject of my thesis. I need some help.

hi, that like cheating isn't it, !lol
best idea is one you come up with yourself ,or it would just be your thesis,another persons idea !

HI guys

Can someone tell me where I can download Norton Ghost for free if possible. Or any other HD clone that is very accurate. Thanks in advance

Sittas

i don't think Chost is offered for free ,good things come to those who purchase! I don't know of any good free ones ,but others might

I think you may have saved some lives here with this honest and accurate advise. The original poster should do exactly as you suggest here.

thank you ,i really would not fool anymore with this monitor

i would think you will need to disable the onboard one first

spend a bunch of money for a new copy!!
even if it had a key it might not activate ,because its been used before !

When I turn the monitor on and it won't work, lights will appear on the sides of the screen. The light is like when you wield something in the wielding machine. The sound coming from the light is also like the sound of wielding, only lighter.

now I'm no expert ,i have only been playing with an working on computers since 1997, but i would not plug that monitor into my computer or into any wall outlet in my house .I would take it a throw it in the recycle depot

some computers you just have to wait for it to run,it may take longer than 10 min!

firefox ,doesn't work either ,so all those IE settings aren't likely the cause .
try this !
1. Click the Start menu button on the Windows taskbar.

2. Click Run... on this menu.

3. If the computer is holding a current IP address, type 'cmd' (without the quotes) in the text box that appears. A command prompt window appears on the screen.

4. Type 'ipconfig' (without the quotes) to view the status of the computer's IP address(es).

5. If the computer is holding a current IP address, type 'ipconfig /release' to let go of the address.

6. Type 'ipconfig /renew' to obtain a new IP address (whether or not the computer is holding a current address).

Theres no way i can purchase server space from a company and install a windows app on it?

if that is a question and not a statement ,sorry i 'm not sure if that is possible .

Don't worry. After one week of late nights, I have begun to learn (the hard way) about partitioning and my W2000Pro is now working well.

This particular problem is resolved, but in the future I'm not sure how to allocate space if I want to introduce a new application in Windows with either another Windows application or Linux (eg. DSL or Ubuntu)....

if you harddrive is big enough for this ,you should have created a few partitions when installing win2000,you can now use a 3rd party program like partition magic or some other there are many

you should l find you windows firewall settings in control panel,assuming you are not using a 3 party firewall

do you have this file, if so attach it here .
C:\Windows\Minidump\Mini110908-01.dmp

its been my experience thats its best left at fat,and if its telling you to format it when you try to open it ,like any drive it usually means there is something wrong with it , have you tried dragging and dropping a mp3 file onto its icon to see it will copy to the player

if it doesn't work when connected to another computer ,its weird I know but monitors do fail,that's when we have to buy a new one

let me make it more simpler.

I want to know if there is any company or service out there that would install windows xp on a server so that I can run regular apps on that server.

any computer can be used as a server ,all it means is you use it only for that purpose! i assume you have the regular apps you talk about .have a read here .mind you i know nothing about any of this ,just a google search result .
http://www.google.ca/search?q=setting+up+a+server&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

I have an app that I want to keep connected to the internet but, I turn my computer off when I'm not using it.

you would be the next Bill Gates if you can figure that one out ! running apps with the computer turned off! sounds like a winner to me !

Like the one in youtube, I can only watch up to 2 seconds then it pauses. ?

you must be on dialup!

do as jbennet suggest and use nlite to slipstream sp3 into it ,get sp3 here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5b33b5a8-5e76-401f-be08-1e1555d4f3d4&DisplayLang=en
and nlite here ,its actually quite easy to use .
get nlite here and read the guides on the left .

first just for clarity its Wont ,not want.
when you turn it on dose the fan/fans turn on dose it make any noise .like error beeps .do you own a copy of winxp if that is what you OS is ,if yes i will give more instructions when you answer my questions .

have you tried f8 on bootup to go to safe mode and reset display back to normal

check this info.

i would leave it at win2000 if i were you

I checked both sites, didn't help much

any other suggestions?

what both sites ,its a google search with a lot of sites ,should give you a idea what to look for in fixing you problem ,may not give exact fix ,but somewhere to start ,
the gist of what i read in most of the links i looked at is the computer is not seeing any boot device

the answer is in at least one of these .

gottcha

Oh ok. Same thing except a bit more complicated. I got a laptop and i am using Vista. Thanks anyways.

how is that complicated ! and more complicated that what!

Who is SFC?

no who is what is .
sfc is ,system file checker.
it replaces /repairs missing and corrupt windows system file .
to do so go to start/run and type in sfc /scannow . note there is a space between c and /

I am gonna pull this card out and get a different one.

good idea maybe ,and whereas you computer is so old ,and if this http://configurator.oempcworld.com/result.asp?mn=Presario+5190&modelid=33765 is you computer ,why not spring for a newer computer while you're at it !

IM JUST SPEAKING OUT LOUD HERE!!

Im just wondering if this would work.........

yeah ,and why you hollering now ,before you were just thinking out loud ! i have 2 questions,
1= have you ever taking a computer apart and seen a motherboard .2= where do you thing the extra 56 Leads are going to connect to ,even if it was possible for you to solder the joints

What if you change the input unit IN YOUR COMPUTER to accomadate 200 pins instead of 144?? (Take one from an DDR TOWER and put it in yours)

I dont see any reason why it wouldnt work then.......

Just thinking out loud here :)

too loud ,and responding to a 4 yr old post

I bought a Compaq 283983-001 Intel 845 Socket 478 mATX MB w/VID SND & LAN motherboard to replace an eMachine board. I have all connected except the HDD LED, POWER SWITCH and the POWER LED leads. Nothing came with the board, no software, no instructions nothing just the board. Where and what pins do I conect these leads too.??

No screening names for the above are printed on the board either, everything else was printed plainly.

Talons06

not sure about this board ,but if it like other compaq boards i have seen the power sw is usually the two pins closest to the single pin,usually there are 2 rows of pins, 5 pins in one row and 4 in the other.this will at lease get it so you can turn it on

try this one ,from the previous like i posted .use the All-in-Wonder® PRO and Rage PRO. one, see if it works
http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/xp/legacy-xp.html

OK< well it is a driver problem then.

Download the driver here, install it, reboot, and then you shouldn't have any problems.

i tried that link last time[found it in google search] and it will not download for me and the mirror site is the one i posted above ,to amd ,who has bought out ATI.
