Do you like Norton SystemWorks Pro? by
Steve
Hi,
I've seen the full retail 2003 version for sale for as low as $15 including
one year of updates (but without printed manuals, they're in electronic form
on CD) and as much as I realize the average mass consumer software packages
can be clumsy if not ineffectual this seems like a decent price...

Presario 1274 Video driver by
Cindy Schmidt
My daughter's laptop video is messed up. I can't find the driver on the hard
drive, and when I access the driver from the compaq support I get a file
error when I run setup. Does anyone have a location for a good copy of the
drivers? I believe that it's NeoMagic.

Hi!
My mother has from her employer been given a rather generous offer on
buying a new Compaq computer. The two options she have is Presario
S4300SE and Presario 8720SE. She has no real interests in computers
