If the battery is not working anymore will that cause the PC to stop
working? I checked the 3 volt 2032 battery and it was dead. The PC one day
didn't start up. Nothing was replaced or upgraded or installed. It quit one
day and that was it.
If I put a new battery onto the motherboard will it start up and be ok?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, attilathehun1

i thought that since the zune player would not zync with my computer , I
would just buy a samsung and all my troubles would go away . WRONG .

found new hardware - mtp device . then the ballon will minamize and come
back ,again and again . the player seems to be in a startup loop .

restarts . nothing helps .

her taylor swift .

I just installed a new seta WD 400gb hard drive. I cannot see the hard drive
under the my computer folder however the diagnostic tools can find the drive.
Any thoughts?

Doordat de Compaq Presario van mijn dochter nogal traag was geworden, leek
het mij zinvol om het register eens onderhanden te nemen met Registry
Mechanic. Er werden heel wat fouten gevonden en hersteld.
Bij de systeeminfo ontdekte ik echter dat het RAM-geheugen van deze PC 224
MB zou zijn in plaats van 256 MB.
Het BIOS geeft echter nog steeds 256 MB aan.
Bij de Windows systeemeigenschappen staat ook 224 MB.
Ik heb met een aparte opstart cd-rom van Windiag het geheugen langdurig
getest.
Daarbij werden geen fouten gevonden.
Hoe kan het dat er geen fouten worden gevonden terwijl ik wel 32 MB geheugen
mis?
Heeft het ontbreken van die 32 MB consequenties voor de goede werking van de
PC en is het noodzakelijk om de DIMM te vervangen, of kan ik er gewoon een
extra DIMM van 256MB of 512MB bijplaatsen...

am just building a 2nd box and plugged in the floppy cable into the MOB and
found that the drive has more pins than this cable has ,need an answer
please

I have a DVD Combo with CD writer (D drive in my PC) and I have also a
Dual Layer DVD writer (E drive). Both are SONY make. Kept a DVD in D
drive and copied it to E Drive using Nero, Jolly Well.

E drive is working properly as per the properties. When I make a DVD
using Nero Express 6 (this came with the DVD burner), the DVD plays well
in Drive D and when I hit Explore Drive/Device D, it displays all the
contents in the DVD. But when the same DVD is kept in Drive E, hitting
Explore shows nothing in it. Clicking on E drive in windows Explorer
says E:\ is not accessibl

I've been getting so many warnings about what not to use to clean LCD
monitors that I haven't a clue what I CAN use safely. Mine is 5 years old
and really needs to be cleaned with more than a quick wipe. What can I use
that won't damage it?

Thanks much!

Hey all, recently when I start my computer I get a green rolling screen which
after 20 seconds flicks to the black bios startup. During the bios check the
screen flashes green as if it's degauzing several times...then after 5
minutes of the windows loading screen windows starts up in a really slow
manner, the deskop appears, then goes blank, then the icons and tool bars
appear.

My computer has always started really quickly and I've never had the green
gauzing effect...even when the monitor powers down it fades to a bright green
dot in the middle of the screen. Once the tedius loading it out of the way
windows actually works fine, and even high spec games like CoD4 run without
error (but the screen does flash green whilst changing resolution to play
them)

I assumed that it was the monitor itself, but that doesnt explain why
windows is taking ages to load...is it a problem with the graphics card? do
you think it's hardware or software based?

I'd really appreciate any advice
Thanks a lot

I have a 5-year-old Dell desktop computer running Windows XP SP3. I want to
buy my first external hard drive and have my eye on an Iomega 500 GB drive.
One of the reviewers of this drive at Amazon said that it wouldn't work with
her older computer, which is about the same age as mine. The reviewer asked
at a local computer store and was told that in general the large external
drives don't work with older computers. (My internal drive is only 50 GB, as
I recall.)

Is that indeed the case?

Thank you!
