I thought I posted a message to this group to let everyone know that EPC was having a one day warehouse sale @ 20% off everything. They even opened up their warehouse to the public so people could see everything they have available. They deal mostly in used Compaq office type machines and parts. ...

On my S6900NX, there is a blue square a couple of pixels in each direction, dead center in the screen. Killing the process Backweb removes it, so I'm going out on a limb here and saying the two are related... What is Backweb used for, this is a pretty new PC, so I'm guessing it is tied to...

Are there really people so dense and incapable of original thought,or are we really talking to a computer programmed with stock answers? They continually give me a part number for a psu for my system that I know is wrong,since I already returned one unit.I'm no expert,but I don't see how anything...

I have just gotten a Compaq Presario 7360 Desktop and I noticed that when I disable all my start-up items Ptsnoop and Country Selection are rechecked when I reboot, I have found that there is a trojan called ptsnoop but there also a ptsnoop program for modems with the same name, Which I have a...

I have one of those, a Presario 1216US but looking at the 1200 series as a whole there are so many variations that I couldn't figure what the relationship is. Within the 1200 series there are so many different models manufactured from different years with different motherboards, different CPUs,...

LMAO, I didn't think message forum boards could get confusing but geeze, they should win a prize for theirs. Why don't they have regular forum designs like any other website has that has forums? Whom can you suggest this to over at compaq.com?

Ok, I just signed up for Earthlink DSL. I'm running Windows ME. I have McAfee anti-virus. So, after I get things hooked up in a few weeks (hopefully) what do I need to do next? I really haven't done any research into firewalls because I have been on dial-up and I have always heard the hackers...

hey there i am a very happy compaq customer after many years using dell. I only paid £999 at a local PC world, i would never usually buy from there as in the past they used to over price and sell trash, how PC world has changed over the 10 years. lol anyway, i managed to get a great bargin the...

I want to add more RAM to my Evo W4000. How do I find out what RAM is installed and what type should I install? Thanks Alan

Hi, I'll be getting my computer soon and I was just wondering what some of you do to check and make sure everything is alright. Checking against the Packing List is a first step but then do you have other tests you run? For example, I've seen people say they got the wrong amount of RAM, wrong CPU,...

I have an old Compaq 2266, and am trying to find a use for it...firewall, router, ?? I don't know what current OS it will support, and the RAM is limited to 128Mb (I tried more..it won't work. There are reports on this issue on the net.) IDE disk is 4Gb. So what is this thing good for, except...

I'm going to expand my laptop's memory and I'm not sure what memory chip I need. Should I buy 128MB SODIMM EDO or 128MB SODIMM SDRAM? It's written in Manual that my notebook (Armada 1592DT) requires EDO DRAM but I've heard that some motherboards accept both types (EDO and SDRAM). I'm not sure if...
