Got a problem maybe someone could help me out. Got my brothers old Packard Bell out that went down a while back to see if I could get it running. Wouldn't boot up. Figured I'd start clean and use the master cd and diskette. Put them in it says Starting Windows 95.... Master Restore Diskette...

I got a "replacement" CNR modem this morning from 'Regis' in Canada via this NG, and rushed to put it into the pc as I was desperate to get my own machine online again. Wishful thinking I'm afraid! The modem is not the same as the one I need. You'll never believe this (or maybe you will), but...

Just for fun... does anyone know how to get the combo modem/sound card to produce sound in win nt 4.0. thanks mc

Hi, I've been asked to look at a Packard Bell Imedia 5060 system that was crashing each time explorer was accessed - I was able to back up all the data onto a USB drive and had been given the RESTORE floppy disk, so I thought it would be easiest to simply restore the system to...

I have been trying to restore my P/B machine using the disks that came with it. Restore floppy, three CDS. Everything goes well, and it gives every indication that the restore worked, until I shut it down. Despite the fact it will reboot with no problems, booting up after a shut down always...

I need to get a SmartLink V.92 CNR-type modem, 'not' a PCI-type one. Can anyone sell me one? Perhaps someone who no longer uses it due to upgrading to a high-speed connection? If you can help out, please email me. Cheers. Geo.

I have a Sony DCR-TR480 Digital8 camcorder and going nuts from trying to install the driver for it on my Win XP Pro Packard Bell PC. I have other USB devices install successfully, e.g. Logitech Quickcam Express, Canon PowerShot digicam, but somehow the Sony hardware won't show up on my PC. (I also...
