Intel (Tabor 2) BX Motherboard Trying to find a drawing of the location of #1 pin on the floppy controller TIA Al

My son-in-law brought over his little brother's computer all screwed up (software wise). I'd like to reinstall W98 ME but all they could find was the Restore CD. I have the Key and the authentication code. Think new format and reinstall is the answer. Scandisk indicated problems with the boot...

I have a 700XL running Windows XP Home. I purchased it January 2003 and it came with Roxio Easy CD Creator 5. I want to burn movie DVDs, so I installed Nero 6 Ultra.

I have an old P3 Gateway PC, and I love the look of it. I'd like to know if it's possible to upgrade the internals to a P4 system by replacing the motherboard, power supply etc.,. Does anyone know if this is a possibility? The case is a 'Performance 800' and is one of those where the hard drives...

I have a FX530XG with XP Professional OS, and DVD Multi Player. When I insert a valid DVD disk, nothing happens. Do I need a special DVD program? Thank you, Lyman

I am using IE7 on my 1yr. old Gateway FX530XG using MS XP Professional OS. Quite often error message indicates that IE has experienced a problem and will close. Should I install IE8, or another program?

Hello, I want to try and replace the inverter of my gateway 400vtx laptop. Can anyone tell me where would I find the inverter once I open the cover of the laptop? Do I have to remove the panel of the LCD? Thanks,

Hello, I have a gateway 400VTX laptop. Yesterday I left the computer open and when I returned the screen was almost blank. When I turned off the computer and back on, the screen is still almost blank. By almost blank I mean that I have to put the computer in a certain position to be able to...

Our Gateway Select 1300 just powers up the fan but doesn't post the BIOS at all. The monitor screen stays black. We finally booted in after 4 to 5 power up attempts. Is the motherboard suspect? Running Windows 98 Second Edition 4.10.2222 A AMD Athlon Process 511 MB RAM Thanks for the assistance.

My spouse tried to run Dreamweaver on this machine after her laptop (win xp) crumped. We meet or exceed the requirements for the program...the only borderline one is RAM. Program suggests 256 MB and that's what we have. The system resources go down to 10-12% as soon as the program launches and the...

Our friend has a M505 with integrated wireless LAN. The built in wireless LAN seemed to be buggy at first, then worked for many months, now seems to have failed. I have no problem putting in an external card and connecting to the network and internet, but the built in WLAN can't even see the...

We have a select 1300 with 32 MB Nvidia TNT2 card that just died (the card that is). I seem to recall some bantering on this newsgroup about this being a common problem amongst these cards during a certain run? How far into the nvidia line does this effect (gforce1, 2 etc)? Just curious as I...

We have a G6-300 and dell laptop both running win98se and same CPU (slow). 96 MB RAM. Netscape 7.1 and IE 5.5 seem to take too much resources and frequently crash. I've read in this newsgroup (I think) that there are other browsers that are less resource intensive? Any suggestions...

A friend has this laptop and has very erratic connection to his wireless router. But when we put an external wireless PC card in the connection never drops. Granted, nearly everytime I actually investigate it I can never duplicate the erratic connection with the builtin wireless, but I can find no...
