"You can not SHELL to BASIC" by
chlange
Trying to run GWBasic on a Compaq/Windows ME computer. No matter how I
launch GWBasic, I get this message. GWBasic is present, I'm pathing
correctly, and I have tried replacing the .exe in case I had file
corruption. No change.
I recall hearing that if the computer has GWbasic installed in ROM,...

I'm trying to find a 802.11g pcmcia wireless care that works in this
laptop. So far I've tried a Linksys and a Motorola card. Linksys support
indicated their card wasn't compatible with the TI pcmcia busmaster

Replacing The CDRW On Compaq? by
John
I have a Compaq 7598 PIII 600Mhz
It has a CD ROM drive and a CDRW
The CDRW needs to be replaced and was wondering if it might be a problem if
I replaced it with a faster burner which also can read (not write) DVD. The

Problem installing on old Compaq by
Mike T.
Hi,
I have an *old* Compaq LTE 5280 that I'm trying to set up for a friend.
Nothing fancy...load up 95 or 98 and get it on the net. (preferably 98
so I don't have to worry about partition size issues)
This laptop has interchangeable floppy and CD-ROM drives. I can only
have one in at a time....

some Dell systems, where such limitations weren't put in place and
where higher speed...
