I have a computer that was built from scratch and had windows win98 first edition on it and was running it ok. I formated the harddrive and redid the partitions and all that good stuff but now I try to install windowsXP and the install started but then it hung up and wouldnt complete. The msdos...

Thank you guys for your responses! This is the actual Deamon. I let my buddy use my account while I was out incase he needed some help well I was gone. I went over to his house and set the swap file to 3x ram *not 2x*. I also did a selective starup and also thourough scan disk with hidden and...

Hello and Thanks to all who respond before I even start!! I am trying to run software I downloaded from zdnet.com that allows me to download digital voice recordings continuosly from my hand held recorder. I am downloading it from the recorder as wav format and about 10 minutes into the...

Thank you Pap! I thought it was in my bios but couldnt find any thing in there about it. I rechecked and sure as #$%@ it was there lol. Anyways the only reason I know the card is using 5 megs is that when I ran the directx checker it said my video card was using a maximum of 5 megs lmao so now...

ALos It is safe to use the Intel Graphics driver from their site. It works on almost every PCI chipset imaginable. Worked fo rme and I can now run all modes and all colors. Just go the link below and select your operating system to download the driver for that O/S...

I need to know how to allocate more ram to my integrated video chipset. Im running it in my compak 5000T. I know this is possible as I once seen it done but cant remember for the life of me how to do it. It currently stats it has 5 mb's of ram in use but I know it can use up to 16+ so if anyone...

Hey gargouille, I tried unchecking everything in the startup and restarted and shut down but it reboots again all the same so i think that rules out the startup stuff :)

Well every piece of hardware that is connected is working perfectly...there's just about nothing wrong with the computer besides it rebooting one second after its shutdown. I'll try that though, if it doesn't work i'll format the computer. This computer came pre-loaded with WinXP and XP...

The computer I have, if i push the power button it will shut itself down yes. I can also use shutdown from the start menu or any other way as well yes. each way works to shut down..but one second after its shutdown it reboots up once again which gets rather annoying and shouldn't do that.

My Compaq only runs at 1.4Ghz so i don't really think the fix will work for it.

That could be a problem :) This is actually a friend's computer i'm trying to find the answer for. From what i know this was pre-loaded with WindowsXP and XP drivers but it was converted to Win98 and 98 drivers, i know of about 7 other computers that this was done too and they've worked...

I tried looking in BIOS and my power management settings in control panel as well. Everything seems to be off and the power button is assigned to shutdown although i still have to hold 4 seconds for it to shutdown. There's no soft-off setting in BIOS on this computer, i know one i have does...

I tried the desktop shortcut just now and it does the same thing, it shuts off for about one second and then reboots back up again :/

Hi all, could anybody tell me how you can turn off the soft power switch on a Compaq 4420CA Presario computer? I've been having some Shutdown problems (when it shuts off it reboots by itself) and nobody seems to be able to find the fix so I was going to disable fast shutdown and soft power and...
