I just inherited a Presario 2240 from a friend who knows absolutely nothing about computers, so I can't ask them this question. (They got a new system - Dell Pentium 4 with 512 megs - what an upgrade!) I know nothing about Compaqs, and couldn't find an answer to this question on the Net. I see 1...

Anyone fitted a miniPCI wireless card to a Presario 700? Was it easy and is there an inbuild antenna or did you need to install one? Cheers, Paul DS. -- Please remove the "x-" if replying to sender.

I have a Compaq 5140, running Windows 98 Standard Edition. When I open Solitaire, I receive an error stating the program has performed an illegal operation.... I have tried the microsoft support suggestions but the symptoms they describe are not exactly the same errors that I get. So no luck...

I decided to restore factory settings to this notebook (Compaq Presario 1600 XL1 notebook). The Emergency Recover cd (which I have used before) could not continue after wiping out my data, saying it was missing necessary files. I learned after much research that Quick Recovery disks are no longer...

Just been given a DeskPro, the label says DPENS P450+/6.4/W5 UK. It is not fitted with a CD and appears to need a low profile model. Additionally the connector on the logic board marked CD appears to be non standard. Does this all mean that only a Compaq drive can be fitted to it. I've got it up...

My Compaq Presario 5106 is infected with a vx2 virus that absolutely refuses to be removed and I guess the only option left, after two weeks of trying to clean out the computer, is to re-format the hdd, then re-install everything. But when I went to use the Restore cd, the screen went red and...

I actually don't quite remember how i managed to get that combination running, but I am quite sure it involved resetting the system to it's default values using the System Management Boot Disks. Anyway, it seems that the system loses the controller and thus the logical drive on the array everytime...

What are my options?; I'm searching myself but somebody may have already been down the road before. I have (well, my Brother has) an External Floppy drive (Compaq brand), and an internal HD running Win95. Options might include a Compaq CD (but it's likely going to be a hard surplus find) or...

I have just tried to install a PCI based GeForce 5200 into my computer to replace the aging Nvidia Vanta LT but it would not sync properly with my Compaq MV740 17" monitor and kept resetting it. Has anyone else had similar experiences? There seem to be rumours that Compaq equipment is not quite...

A friend has a Compaq Presarrio (500 model I think). He cannot get it to switch on. The power supply lights up but the laptop is dead, whether he uses battery or mains. Any idea what this can be? Many thanks

Hey all, I helped setup an SR1230nx model for a friend. The pc has probably 2 hours on it. That is because the friend went out of town and just arrived back. So they asked me to load a few pieces of software they needed Microsoft office 2000 and some burning software for the DVD player. No...
