I have bought a program which operates at 32 bit. I had to install the printer cable for its output on a serial port. The software maker said that the port may be good for only 16 bit. Right now, program won't run from the port. Just how do I know whether this is the problem and just how...

ramani, It's the modem that won't work. I have since decided that it might be well to load win98 in a separate drive and install the modem there as well. Will that work?

So Ramani, I should not use COM2 but rather COM4. Is COM4 the port of choice? I did get it to work using COM2, but I will change it.

I got a friends computer to put a modem in and find that the Cyber Drive won't work with Win XP. Is there an inexpensive unit that will work with XP? This one was only $40.

I installed a modem and software. I now get a message saying "modem resources conflict with another hardware. Please change your configuraton. error 1006" What configuration? What port should modem be on..com1 or com2? There is no printer, etc. loaded at this time.

The problem is solved. I believe that there was a static charge of some kind on the line. I disconnected the line and waited a while. I understand that there is a command in BIOS about a "wakeup" and this could have been set off. If that is possible, what words do I look for in...

I plugged in a phone line so I could load the files for my ISP and the darn computer booted up. It got into about 20 seconds of the boot and then stopped. Now i can't get anything...no power, no nothing. What did i do and how do I fix it?

I have been trying to load software by way of the CD drive and I am getting a lot of repeating steps in the loading process. It keeps performing the same steps even though the drive is working. I have checked all the cables and they are secure. What could it be? I did eventually get a program...

Reghakr....so you're listening huh...okay I can see that you're someone who knows about these things. Speak o' learned one!

Swayda, you're pretty much right. I do have a full win 98 and NO code and an upgrade with a code...also 98. I believe the full version came with the purchase of a new system but I don't think I got any product key code with it. The computer was assembled by a local, legitimate computer company...

Edfair, Hope i can explain this right. I used win98 the first time and it would not complete loading without code. I got that far from a disk downloaded from program written to help me load the OS. This enabled me to load virtual drivers to HD so CDROM would read windows. I am not studied...

I finally got my first computer to load a win98 CD which i had but found that the prod key code i had was not good for the CD. I found a upgrade CD with a matching code but now find that I can't get past the requirement that i supply code for the earlier, wrong CD. Just how can I get both to...

Ed, I am looking for a website to make the search and purchase. I had found one at one time which was three letters but i can't remember what it was. We have a few good tech stores but they aren't much help in getting the old fans.

I am looking to replace some fadng fans on a few older computers. All the computer stores don't (i understand why) carry the fans for such CPU's as the pentium 100 or the AMD K5. I have also tried to find the chipset fan for the ASUS A7V133 mobo. Any suggestions of good places who sell theses?

Thanks Azarey. I'm looking forward to receiving your instructions. Email has been sent. Tybee
