hoe kan ik aan een diagnotic disk komen voor een compaq portable 386

I bought a Concord 3040 AF digital camera. It required a usb port to interact with my computer. This old 1540DM had no usb port so I acquired and installed a USB v2.0 Cardbus from CompUSA. Then I ran the CD Rom which came with the camera so as to install the software required to work that camera...

Howdy, I am adding a PCI sound card to a Presario 5WV260, do I need to disable the on board sound card ?? Or is it automatically disabled when I insert the new card ?? Thanks Mr D

Hello, I offered to fix-up my sister's Presario 1245 laptop (Windows 98 installed), and discovered Compaq's odd D: drive partition, titled "System_Save", which in addition to stealing space from C:, seems to get copies of everything removed from the Recycle Bin. (I noticed this because emptying...

I am looking at a non-working Presario 1200 for a friend. A green light is lit when power is conected (from the brick), but nothing else works - it cannot be turned on. Maybe a fuse, maybe a bad power-on switch.. or something else. So I got myself a Torx 8 screwdriver and undid the 6 screws I...
