My fathers modem stopped working and his netzero software instructed him to uninstall the modem and reinstall it. I am quite sure what he has done is remove com 2 from the device managers list. The modem will now only install on com 1 and "pretends" it's working there, but it is not...

All of a sudden today my computer will not boot although it was fine yesterday. Safe mode, "last known good config" and all those will not help at all. It gets to the loading screen with the moving progress bar and after a couple seconds the computer restarts. So it keeps trying to...

My mothers computer has been broken for ages so finally i took it upon myself. I backed up her data to another computer of mine. Next i used FDISK and redid the Dos partition and then formatted using the "format c: /s" command. I have the start up disk and windows 98 cd that came...
