I have an old Compaq 4400 Us with a cel 1.3; I have put in a 250 GB HDD & the max RAM the board would take which is 512MB. I can browse the web or do my basic word processing & stuff but other wise it can get real slow. I mean even burning a CD can take forever at times. I am on a budget so can't...

I just did a factory restore on my Compaq Presario after four or five years since getting it. It originally came with McAfee but I never installed it. I decided instead to buy and use Norton anti-virus. After four years of being on the net I sure have read a lot about Norton slowing down...

So I go to the new Napster website and it says Napster doesn't support my operating system - Windows Millennium. Last week I go to that Apple i-toons site and it says it supports Windows XP and 2000 or something, but no mention of Windows ME. So how in the heck am I supposed to start paying for...

My local cable company has just started offering cable access to the internet. I've been waiting for some one to offer high speed for the last four years. Anyway, I was just wondering if this is a good deal and worth the money. They said the first year is around $33.00 a month and then in the...

I'm currently running Windows ME on a Compaq Presario (128 ram, 40gb hard drive, 21 gb used and 17 free.) Over the summer I downloaded theWindows Media player that comes with XP (the one that lets you rate the songs). It's been running perfectly and hasn't given me any problems up to now. A few...

I currently have a Compaq Presario running Windows Me with 850Mhz processor, 128 ram, and 40 GB hard drive. I think I might have a virus or maybe Me is just screwed up. I can't use system restore, I can't open Windows Media Player, and I cant' view some pages on amazon.com (music cd pages, I...

I just used the system restore cd that came with my computer (Compaq Presario 5000 Series.) I used it to restore my computer to it's "as shipped" condition. Anyway, this computer is five years old. It has a dvd rom drive and a cd rw drive. After re-installing Windows I put in a couple of dvd's...

My Compaq Presario 5000 Series is having it's first major hardware problem since I got the thing five years ago. A few days ago I booted it up in the morning and I heard a strange noise. It did not stop. It was kind of a grinding noise. Like something was stuck on. This was early in the...

I currently have a five year old Compaq computer running Windows ME with 128mb or ram. More and more my computer is crashing. The max ram I can install is 512. Ok, here is my problem. I have not opened up the case at all for the last five years until today. I had no need to open it up plus I...

I've been looking on the compaq website about how many banks of memory my computer was shipped with. Isn't this info on their site? I've punched in my model number - 5BW284, but can not find the info. Isn't their site supposed to me how much memory and how many banks it was shipped with? My...

Ok, I posted here about a month or so ago about my Compaq (running Windows ME)not being able to use system restore and also not being able to open up Windows Media Player anymore. Well, I haven't fixed that yet. I've been happy with Real Audio player for the most part. Now I have another...

I'm running Windows ME. When I shut my computer off the floppy drive runs for a few seconds. I know it's supposed to do that when I start my computer but how do I stop it from doing that when I shut down?

Now that I've made the move from dial-up to high speed (DSL) I'm ready to ditch my five year old Compaq very soon. The main problem I have with this computer is that it has always crashed a lot and seems to crash more and more. It's running Windows ME, 850MHz Pentium III, 128MB ram. Now that I'm...
