Hi Ben ! Have tried posting the following message twice. It won't stick. Changed headers. I have seen this before with this newsgroup. Seems that sometimes I can't post to this ng if I have links in it. Weird. "Ben Myers" wrote in message

I just tried submitting this email to some email addresses for Packard Bell that I got off the Internet (that sadly were 10 years old). Can anyone help with something more up to date? I post the email here as it may be of interest and somebody may be able to say if Packard Bell are the right...

I bought a Packard Bell 486 DX2-66 in 1995, refurbished. It was $999 (excellent price at the time), and ran very well for 5-6 years. I have now relegated it to a retro-gaming system - it's a lot easier to get 1990's games running on that puppy than on a new system. Yesterday I turned it on for...

I want help on my pb 2010... lots of help. first, what is the video driver i need?

Hi I was brought a system to repair. I got everything back in order except the cd rom. Windows 98 SE will not recognize it nor will it work off a boot disk. I suspect part of the problem is Windows will not recognize the standard ide/esdi hard disk controllers. I attempted to load the cd rom...

What you want to do is called hot flashing If you power off the computer the bios shadow is gone and taking out the chip and putting in a new one will not restore the shadow I think that you are thinking that boot block will allow the new chip to function with the part of the bios chip...

Hi, I got my hands on an old Legend 415CD which I'd like to "punk up". The thought of a 2GHz processor and a ton of memory in this nostalgic case is a kick. I've learned that I need an LPX board and was wondering if anyone has a good resource for such a creature -- one that won't cost an arm and...

Has anyone successfully installed the ubiquitous Aztech PCI 288Q3DS sound card in Windows 2000? I am currently getting away with using the Trident Microsystems 4DWave NX PCI drivers for Win 2000, but they are barely tolerable and don't support all the features of the sound card. PB were good enough...

I have an old PB with a 680 board running a Pentium MMX processor. Recently I had to replace the CD drive. New one worked fine until I tried to use the master restore disc. Upon boot of the floppy I get a message that it can not find the CD drive. Any suggestions aa to problem and solution would...

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...

( French ) Hi, I received the brand new computer I was waiting on : P.Bell Imedia 9663. All seems to OK, ... but ... has someone just once seen this poor SmartLink Askey 2800 CNR Modem working faster as 37 kb ? It drives me nearly crazy. It never goes faster.

A company is offering a bare bone version of this base unit for sale and I was thinking of putting together a compact system for a friend. Details of the original system here : http://support.packardbell.co.uk/pri/index.php?PibItemNr=platform_eMove_Aloha Has anyone had any experience with this...

Rescued an incomplete desktop Legend 402CD at the town transfer station (that's the New England euphamism for town dump) today. No CPU, but memory. Case incomplete, so pretty useless. Any interest in some of the parts at the cost of scrap plus shipping? A quick look tells me this is an...
