Compaq Presario SR 1222NX-B desktop has been working fine for years. Running Xp Home. Today it will not power on, and the LED on the back panel just below the power selector is flashing green, instead of the steady green when operating normally. I have been thru the documents and in contact with...

I have a Maxtor 1TB external HD with SafetyDrill (backup and imaging, it looks like) and want to create 2 images, 1 for my laptop (60GB) and another for the desktop (300GB). Can both these images be put on the same backup drive? Thanks.

I am working on a MS XP PC which displays the message "An ActiveX control on this page might be unsafe to interact with other parts of the page. Do you want to allow this transaction?" This occurs 5 times for each transaction, so it is a real pain. I would like to change the security level, but...

I have an emchines M5405. I received a restore CD, but when I try to restore, it fails with the error message that it cannot find the eula. I can see eula.txt on the cd, so what is the setup program really complaining about?

I have an Emachine laptop with XP personal with internet access and Norton Internet Security. One day the right side of the keyboard started to act in a bizarre manner, like so: 123456789*-= !@#$%^ *_+ qwerty456-[]\ QWERTY-{}| asdfgh123+' ASDFGH+" zxcvbn0,./ ZXCVBN</ If I set up another...

The taskbar on the desktop recently doubled in size. Attempting to resize would cause the cursor to form the adjusting arrow, but had no effect on resizing. I then unchecked Show Quicklaunch and this allowed me to resize the taskbar to it's normal size. However, with Quicklaunch checked, the...

This is one issue that I have not seen addressed. I've had this problem on HP 660 and 880 plus few other HP's. Sometimes when printing, after a jam or paper outage, and the print job is deleted from printer queue, the printer will from then on print nothing but garbage (hearts, weird...

When I had DSL with AOL, they gave me a Westelland later a Broadxent dsl modem, which had an extra rj-11 outlet for a phone line. That was really convenient. But now with Bellsouth, I have a DSL modem, similar in size and shape to the AOL one, but there is no rj-11 phone outlet. My question is...

I connected my Bellwouth Westell DSL modem to a Linksys Wireless G Broadband Router model wrt54g and then to my NIC in a PC running XP Home, then a hookup from the Linksys to another computer named X. I use the Network Wizard on the XP machine to create a Network Setup Disk, which the Wizard...

I have an emachine 366 running win98. I replaced the Illsan Elecome ISP 120s (eing 200-240vac)power supply with a replacement, 200watts same size: 3 7/8 x 2.5 x 5". I made sure to connect the same wires to the mobo as before: 1 mobo connector, 1 to the floppy, 1 to the hd, and a shunt to the cpu...

HD stopped working over the weekend, ie, msg "Boot disk is not valid" and could not read in DOS. Fdisk and formatted, installed Windows 98. Was getting msg about VFAT init failed and registry inop, so followed advice in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 178947: Err Msg: Registry File Was Not...

When I take pictures with the Sony CD Mavica, I have found only 1 computer that will read these cd's, an old win98 466 mhz. On other pc's, 98 or nt 4.0, about the same age, Explorer reports Drive Not Ready. DOS mode shows no files in directory. Finalizing the cd only makes the machine think it...

I used Windows Media Player to download audio tracks off a cd I burned, and it copied them as .wma files. (Logical, I guess). But I need to convert them to .mp3, as my current cd burning software does not reconize them as valid audio format. An internet search found loads of wma-mp3 converters...

I have read of the incompatibility between PM and Xp due to the NTFS versions (MS KB article 308322). My 2nd HD was partitioned using Partition Magic 5.0 as D E and F. If I install XP Home Edition over Windows 98, will it repartition the 2nd HD to a file system that it likes, or leave it alone...

My PC (Win98) has an insidious virus. The symptoms include shutting down IE whenever it wants. If I go to a free site to perform a virus scan, and it will scan for a few minutes, then IE will take a GPF. It also will not allow me to install McAffee virus protection. Other times, it will cause...

I would like to set the hidden attribute of a file (attrib temp.txt +h)when the system starts up, then clear the hidden bit at closedown. (Although it may seem pointless to make a file viewable at shutdown, I am mainly interested in how the process works.) Thanks.

I have a qic file that I need to examine. I want to be able to open the file and then view and open the files contained therein. Is this possible? I have no wish to use it as backup at this point.

I can't hear! After fdisk and re-sinstalling win98, my e-Machine Trigem Delhi 3 motherboard produces no sound. The integrated audio subsystem is a Crystal CS4235 Audio Controller. What makes me look in this direction is that the Device Manager shows a ? next to Other Devices/PCI Bridge. I'm...

A win98 reinstall left me with only 16 colors. It seems that I need to download a display adapter for my chipset, according to what I've read. How do I find out what my chipset is, and is this the proper way to solve my problem? Thanks
