I just connected a firewire card to a PCI slot in my PC, but I can't seem to get the machine to find a driver for it when requested. I have my Win XP Pro CD in the drive, but Windows says it can't find a suitable driver for it. What do I do next? Geo.

Hi-- ......but does anyone have or does anyone know the solution/ fix to the Packard Bell Comm Central program interface problem with the Sound4 (aka AT6800 ) 56 k modem conflict that exists. The Comm Central program works fine (perfectly) with the originally supplied 33.6 from Packard Bell. ...

Last week i reported that i was having troubles restoring my pb A950-TWR back to factor specs. I have since got it restored and running but there are some thnigs that are reall annoying me. First, when i first ran navigator for the first time i saw the icons for the scanner, tv and the media...

When my father gave us this computer several years ago somehow the recovery disk was never seen after he loaned it to my sister in Michigan. When attempting to upgrade to Windows 2000, it locked up at almost the very end. My brother-in-law from Michigan took it(against my better judgement) to...

Hi, I'm new here. Found this place through "Another Packard Bell Site", and thought I'd check out this place. I have a PB MM950c. I want to up-grade it, and am trying to find out how, and what to use for ram. I know it is EDO ram, and right now it has 62 mb's of ram. It's expandable to 256, so what...

Hi I posted this yesterday but I must have messed up...it did not seem to take. I'll try again. I have Windows XP and installed it on an old PB Synera 200 All in One computer. I realize it is slow and impractical, but I just wanted to see if it could work. It worked fine, but the modem did...

On paper, it sounds fine & I can get one at a good price. However, I'm struggling to find out some technical & user...

Hi all, new here. Someone gave me the machine shown above when the H/D went west. Eventually after much swearing, I found out that it was necessary to perform a "tattoo" of the H/D in order to use the restore disks (one boot disk & three CDs) that came with the machine. However it seems that no...
