you need to run the no-cd crack, check on the cd u used for it, if its not there, then check online, maybe in torrent sites like piratebay

you ned to use the norton antivirus removal tool, its a sofware for uninstalling norton properly. google it, its free to download. install and run it.

you didnt even state what make and model of pc it is, what os you are running, what history you have with software like the MS 2007.
we are not winchards na, and there is not one solution to every pc problem. each is unique!!!
help us to help you

Rukkiebell:

my pc is asking for the hard disk's password.I don't know it cuz i did not enable it.Maybe my siblings mistakenly did it.I cant use my system and i'm so confused.

Dear Rukkiebell l,

Thank you for the above enquiry and sorry for our late reply. for I and my colleagues to give
proper advice, we would like to know make and model of your computer. e.g. HP 1218.UK XP.

Hard drive password are authenticated and cannot be provided by myself and my colleagues.

This is similar to your bank pin number which is unknown to others. last resort is to
visit the computer manufacturer website for further information, consult a local technician
to backup your data and replace the hard drive. This the practical route in resolving this.

Good luck !

zilosxp:

Please Mr deji, my battery is not displaying on the taskbar.instead what is there is the icon that shows 'on ac power', even when i'm running on batteries! i've tried to ignore it but it is affecting me in the sense that i usually forget to shut down before the battery dies off. Urgently waiting for your reply. Thanks. The OS is windows xp unlimited and the computer is compaq presario. Processor is Amd,  

Here's your prescriptions in resolving this issue http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909606

Secondly, we need to run a battery test to determine if battery is faulty or not.

On your next reply provide make and model of your computer. e.g. HP 530. some compaq

notebook need bios update to rectify issues such as battery not showing, windows quit on

restart, overheating, wireless networks. To verify if your battery is working ok, here's a utility
from hp to test a failing battery www2.hp.com/techcenter/battery/battery_ts.htm">http://h20239.www2.hp.com/techcenter/battery/battery_ts.htm

Good luck and thanks for enquiring

hooged:

I got a challenge here, i input a password into my laptop hp mini yesterday,and am sure of the password,but i try to on it wit the correct password,bt all i get is 'did you forget your password' help help help.

Dear hooged,

Thank you for the above enquiry and sorry for our late reply. password are case sensitive, therefore turn off caps lock
on your keyboard and try again. we would be please to know make and model of computer. e.g. Hp mini 5520 XP.

If no joy take it to a local repair shop for further assistance. last resort is to clean everything and start all over again.

This can be access by pressing f11 on start up > advance option > recovery without backing: provided no important data
then go ahead. make sure charger is connected as this can take up to 25-30 minutes to complete. Good luck

I've tried dat, but its still not working. None of the power light is coming up. My laptop is an Hp compaq 2150
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by 4llerbuntu(m): 1:27pm On Apr 13, 2010
@ vinna like i said previously, is the charger led on?

if the charger is not working anymore, then obviously the laptop wont work na, the battery will be dead too!!!!

try to get someone with a similar laptop anduse ur charger on that laptop, also use the person's charger on your laptop.

alternatively, just take the charger to a tech person, and ask the person to check it if its still working.

when we find out that the issue is not with the power source, then we move to the laptop.

Kingsleyinfo:

try downloading avast anti virus then use this key to activate
C4715828R9974A0910-93VRF8A0

i would have pasted the file here but its a large size,
here is a link to download, http://download.cnet.com/1770-20_4-0.html?query=avast+4.8&tag=srch&searchtype=downloads&filterName=platform%3DWindows%2CWebware&filter=platform%3DWindows%2CWebware
the key is for the pro version
hope it helps

what operating system are you using,
whats your laptop make
pls give specification
where does it boot up to exactly?

there could be something wrong with your BIOS
whats your laptop's specification
that is make model and all that.


avast is a pretty solid antivirus and its better than rising
but thats my opinion
plus it does what it is supposed to do

i use avast and i download a lot of files from torrent sites
i have never had a problem with virus cos avast protects my pc pretty well


or you can try downloading AVG its another solid antivirus
