Motherboard died & needs replacing. First time installing a motherboard so I would appreciate any suggestions. Have always used Asus before (the dead one is P4SDX) but am open to any suggestions. Would like to upgrade the CPU as well (currently P4 2.4) and upgrade memory to DDR2 1GB (currently...

Can anyone tell me if this sounds like I've got a dead motherboard? CPU lights (green & red) come on when I turn it on and so does the light on the CD rom but nothing else happens - monitor never comes on, eventually the red light on the CPU goes off and the green one stays on. I tested a...

I just installed XP and I am trying to import (from 98SE) my old Address Book into OE6. It tells me that it imported successfully yet when I check, the address book is empty. I had no trouble importing my old messages but somehow I'm messing up something with the address book. Can anyone help?

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between these two chipsets? SIS655 and SIS693? I've searched around and so far I've been able to find that 655 is Northbridge(?) and 693 is Southbridge(?). I have NO idea what this means. I'm actually trying to determine if I'm going to experience...

I hope I'm in the right forum - I've no idea what category "drivers" fall under. If this is the wrong forum, please redirect me. I went to the SiS site to check on what type of chipset I have and the Chipset identifier recommended the following updates. I have no idea what these are really...

First, understand, I know nothing about video cards other than they let me see my screen, so I really need to hear from those of you who know your cards. I need to know if a video card with a fan is better than a card without one. I had a Mad Dog Champion MX400 64mb video card w/fan. The...

I'm using Win98SE and before making any changes I usually export the Registry although I never before had reason to import it back. Today I tried to import one of those Registry files I had exported and I got the following error message: "Cannot import 'file path.reg'. Error writing to the...

I need someone who's "been there, done that" to tell me if I'm doing this right or if there's a better way. I have one computer with 2 HD's one a 60GB and the other an 80GB. The 60GB has the OS (Win98SE) and the 80GB has most of the software programs, data, etc. I would like to replace the...

I have an Asus P4SDX with Sis655 Chipset, 512MB RAM, GeForce2 MX400 video, HD's - WD80GB and WD60GB and I'm running Win98. My system has been running somewhat slow lately (even after Defrag) and it's confusing trying to figure out what might be causing the sluggishness. Asus advised me to...

I had some recent problems and had to restore my registry. My computer starts up fine now and everything seems to be OK except that when I call up my ISP I get the following message: "Cannot load the Internet Configuration library (ICFG95.dll). The following error occurred: A dynamic link...

I hope someone can help me because this has never happened before and I've got no idea what to do. I tried to turn on one of our computers today and nothing - there was absolutely no sound coming from it (no fans, no HD start up, nothing - the lights by the power button were quickly blinking on...

I'm using Win 98SE and IE 5.5. I just noticed that the progress bar isn't working - the space for the bar is there but there is no color indicating the actual progress. Does anyone have any idea what can cause this?

I currently have Win95 but want to install Win98SE. I also want to reformat my hard drive so I can start from scratch. I want to do this the easiest way possible so should I reformat my hard drive first with Win95 and then install Win98 or install Win98 first and then reformat?

Does anyone know how to remove an item from the Add New Hardware Wizard in Win95? I have several duplicate entries in the Models section of a Manufacturer. It's an item I'm having trouble with and I'm wondering if this could be the cause of it. Thanks

Is there a way to check if the LPT1 port is working? Win 95 Device Mgr indicates no conflict, yet I cannot print. I had a Ditto connected to LPT1 and used my NEC SS860 printer through the Ditto. Both worked fine. I connected the printer directly to the LPT1 and now it won't print. I receive the...
