If you press F8 do you get the safe mode etc menu. If you can get to that menu I'd try VGA mode. If its a corrupted video driver that should get you to a windows desktop. One of the symptoms of that...

I'm glad that worked. :) It's nice when a few mouse clicks fix a problem.

I've swapped hard drives and activated without having to call Microsoft. I've swapped video cards without having to activate at all. It all depends on what hardware you swap out, how many components...

I believe you'll find its one key that can activated on "up to" three PC's. You can activate each PC as many times as you want but you can only use the key on three different PC's at one time. If you...

I think I can answer one of your questions. It is true that you can't upgrade from XP to windows 7 and migrate all your installed programs like you can with Vista. When you upgrade from XP to win 7...

If you go to Tools, Folder Options in explorer there is a "Hide Empty drives in Computer Folder" option. If its checked remove the check mark and see if that solves your problem.

Like Shinma said log into the router though its web interface and set it up that way. If you open up a command window and run ipconfig/all, the address displayed for default gateway will be the...

There are no guaranties, if you have some important files you don't want to loose back them up just in case. I've done the repair a couple of times and it usually fixes windows problems like mangled...

The CD you want should match the version of XP currently installed on your PC. Home or Pro , OEM or Retail.
Try doing a repair instead of an over the top.
XP Repair install
Boot the computer...

I had a similar problem with USB devices on my PC. Some would work some wouldn't. What had happened to me was I had somehow overloaded the USB bus and the overload protection kicked in. In essence...

There is a lot more to a PC than just the amount of RAM installed, a lot more. The type and speed of the RAM has an impact. The Processor type and speed has a much bigger impact on performance. The...

Maybe I can put things into perspective. Moonman the reason that Aptiva seems so fast compared to your other newer PCs is is that its current OS is less resource demanding that the OS on the faster...

Yeah, I did giggle to myself when I saw those minimum requirements. Anybody thats tried XP on something that slow knows it ain't pretty. He'll start to get a feel for it when he wonders why the...

Photolady I just Googled Windows XP Professional System Requirements

I think you may be a little confused on the internals of a PC. Cache and main memory (RAM) are two different things. Also the drive bays are where your hard drives and optical drives are mounted, not...

As far as the Aptiva goes, keep tabs on what you plan on spending for the upgrades. Upgrading the RAM is probably worth it, especially if you can swap that out yourself. Upgrading the processor may...

One way around the Hard Drive size limit of your mother board is to put in a PCI IDE controller / RAID card. I have one in one of my old beater PCs. It has it's own BIOS and can be setup as just a...

Be careful with the eraser! There is only a thin layer of gold on the contacts, if you rub it off you are in for big problems. Cleaning with Isopropyl Alcohol may be a better option.

Make sure you unplug the PC or turn the main switch off on the power supply. I had that same error just the other day. My all in one worked but my thumb drives all showed up as unknown device. My USB...

As far as DVI goes here is my experience with LCD monitors. I think you will find that the video card has a DVI-I connector. That is so you can connect a DVI to VGA adapter and use a VGA...

Oops sorry I accidentally double posted.

Are you sure what you have is in fact a crossover cable? There is a difference between a normal network patch cable and a crossover cable. I don't mean to insult your intelligence, some people know...

If the drive is not damaged and its just got a couple of mangled files you could try booting from your XP CD. Go to the recovery console and run fixmbr and fixboot. Then try booting to windows again....

I don't know what to tell you. I have a DIR-615 and I only have to set the time once.
