I've tried to find the answer to this online without success. My son has just given me his Armada M300 Notebook, which I love! However, I'm not used to the touchpad and I don't like the fact that it will "select" a program without a click, just by pointing to it. My son thinks there's a way to...

I have a few users who have Compaq Evo's (not my choice!). In any case, it seems like it's random behavior, but it must be initiated by end-user action - in this case, unintended action. It's as if the screen becomes virtual and is much larger than the monitor can display; to "move" around the...

I see you are from outside the US. In the US, the 534 shipped with MediaPilot, but the earlier Presario 425 shipped with MaxFax. I still have a couple in the garage, let me see if they'll boot. It would be a US version, though. Mike in Houston "robt" wrote in...

My Presario S4020WM Recovery Tools CD offers to make a new data partition once from the unused space. No details are given. Questions: 1) Is this space taken from the C-partition? 2) Is it contiguous space? 3) Is it taken from the start, middle, or end of the disk? 4) Is it non-destructive? (so...

I have three Compaq LTE Elite CXL laptops which I use for tasks such as WP in libraries where loss/damage to the laptop is an issue so using an old clapped out one is an attraction. I acquired a s/h "COMPAQ CPQ BATTERY FASTCHARGER For LTE Elite" to condition some of the 5 batteries I have (the...

Gudday all, I recently purchased a Compaq CQ5110F desktop. I did so for two reasons. First, PC Mag gave it an Editor's Choice tag for entry level desktops and two, I have a certain brand loyalty, having worked for Compaq tech support for 6 years. The unit also seemed to offer a lot for...

Austin, I'm having the exact same situation on (AMD, 700 MHz), which is also second-hand, has WinME on it, with no apparent driver conflicts.

Go to start, control panel, display properties, advanced, monitor and see if you can change the monitor to the one attached. May have to look in SoftPaqs for monitor update patch. If brave or knowledgeable, can...
