Thanks for warnings but I have already sussed out who I can trust to give me genuine help in this group. Elector & Anthony have always got me out of a hole.

Hi all, I've just grabbed this from work with a slightly different spec to its norm: -CPU changed from 1GHz Celeron to 750MHz P3 (Done before I took it) -No Hard Drive (Old one died, I don't have a replacement) Apart from that it is (what I believe) regular spec. What is the highest chip this...

Hi to all, I've been trying to reinstall Microsoft Office 2000 (Winword.exe version 9.0.2717) something I've done before without a problem. It was preinstalled on this packard bell computer, so I don't have the office CD as such, but run restore.exe from the original windows 98SE CD, which enables...

Hi I'm working with an older P1, 233 mhz, Orlando motherboard, Packard Bell (corner unit). I'm needing to swap out the power supply and get it repaired as it has died. Because of the design of the chasis the size/shape of the P/S in the PB is unique. What I'm faced with is trying to...

I am going to update the BIOS with the FR500 2.00 BIOS that I have found at the PB site. However I hesitate doing this since I have found almost no information on the 950C anywhere on the Net. The BIOS displayed at bootup is the FR500 1.03 and I have to assume that the various models of...

X-No-Archive: yes My neighbors want to do a full restore on their PC. But it keeps telling them that it's unable to determine the CD-ROM drive model. They say that they had somebody work on their CD-ROM drive a while back. How can I work around this and restore their PC?

Hi, Some time ago, I believe that this group helped me when I had to install a new HD in a friends machine. That was some months ago, and I'm not currently on my machine(on holiday), so I cannot be sure. They have left a message that when they switch it on they get the above message and nothinbg...

Could someone post the proper front panel connections for this NEC mainboard? It's not marked and I have been unable to find a website that has this info. This is a MSI MS-6156 VER: 1.1 BX-7 board from a NEC Ready 9935 computer. The MSI diagram for the connectors are useless as this is a OEM board...
