I have the Presario SR1115CL and I am trying to figure out what I need to connect my vcr to the pc. I would like to upload a vhs video tape to my hard drive so I can use a non-linear editor to create a dvd. The vcr is an Emerson with only two lines out, video and audio. Is there something I...

I'm trying to access a couple of programs from my old Presario 7100 family quick restore cd. The system itself died a long time ago. I have tried 'PREDATORxxx'and 'SMDCOMSUMER' (which were supposed to work with older cds) but no success. Does anyone know what the zip passwords are? Thanks in...

Hi All The Screen Light On My ipaq 3870 Will Not Brighten Any Info Please Regards JB

School I work for has some Deskpro 2000s donated. In one that had W95, I reformatted the the hard drive and put W98 on it. Couplee of things. 1) I get this line across the screen. Shall I assume that the video card may be on its way out? 2) After installing the Ethernet Controller I can get...

Not sure if your model is the same,but my 5423US uses an Intel ethernet interface.There have been numerous driver updates for it in Windows Update. "Brian" wrote in message ... I've just got a second-hand Presario...

This is in regard to my N610c laptop computer. The Shift, Alt and Ctrl keys have failed to function. An external keyboard plugged into the back of the computer works fine. I can get uppercase letters with caps lock, but that doesn't get me the characters over the numbers. I have...

Hi.... will any basic laptop harddrive fit this computer or do I need one especially from compaq? Newfdog

When I press the power button it lights up blue for about one second and then goes out. Even when plugged into an outlet the same thing happens. No fans, no hard drive nor even the screen works. The power button light just goes out. Can anyone help me with this issue as I cannot afford another...

Hi, I have hit a wall. I wiped the drive and reloaded win98. The load goes alright, but on the restart for the final set-up the machine locks. I can load in safe mode, but cannot find anything. I have tried this several times. I even went back and started with a win95 load, which worked fine. ...

I have had this computer for years, not a computer geek. but after all these years and hearing other people talk, i have come to the conclusion that this model of compaq's is a lemon. can anyoen let me know if this is correct?

I have an older Compaq Presario. Don't have the number handy, but it's a 7 somthing. 7240 perhaps... It has a power on password set (which I have), but I would like to eliminate it. The computer used to be in my wife's office, as an accountant, she used as much security as was available, and...

I was given an old Presario 1245 notebook with dual scan. I gave it to my daughter. She seems happy, but the battery is completely gone. I can get a million hits for companies that make replacement batteries, no problem. But, any objective answers for perhaps a 2nd hand one that ~will~ hold...

I can't get into the BIOS setup in any way. No F10 F2 or any F. No boot floppy images with diagnostic tools (I use Linux) Does anybody know the right solution for this?

I left my 1215US open and where my two year old could get to it. (dumb I know...) He thought it would be helpful if he removed a few of the keycaps from the keyboard. I was successful in snapping them back on, but now those keys don't have the same click or snap that the other do. I did try to...

Can anyone tell me how to get PPC 2002 or 2003 on my compaq Ipaq 3630 with Win CE on it?

Occasionally I have a problem logging onto a user profile when I have just logged out of another profile. The system will either freeze on the login screen, or will bring up the background but no icons. I have to turn the computer off and back on. It only happens when I am logging off 1 profile...

Having problems with the computer freezing. I talk with tech support, and they tell me to check in the BIOS for the CPU temp, I do and it is always in the mid 50;s C. The CPU fan is running but the system fan registers at 0 RPM. Tech support tells me to turn off the system and take it in...

I want to put a CD-RW drive in my EVO. I know the inside of the case is semi-proprietary and thinking maybe that the BIOS will be picky on what I put in. So what should I do? Forget about Compaq/HP cust. service. What a joke. I also don't know what model number my box is either because it doesn't...

Can anyone supply me with the jumpers to upgrade the CPU on an old Compaq Presario 2266? I cannot find what jumpers to use to upgrade FSB and Voltage. Anyone know max cpu this presario can take? I would like to add an AMD K6-2 if possible. -- ----------------------------------------------
