P.Stacks:

@Timsilver my connection settings is correct, hoe do i upgrade the modem, thanks
what is the manufacturer name of your modem and also the model.


slexy:

@skydancer. pls i av a system with dis config
operating system: Ms win XP professional(5.1, 2600)
system model: HP compaq dx2300 microtower
Bios: Phoenix- AwardBIOs v6.00PG
Processor: Intel(R)pentium(R) Dual CPU E2140 @ 1.60GHz (2 CPUs) and i dont av sound from the system, what can i do, i tried installing a sound driver but to no avail. can i upgrade the OS? also am connected to a wireless network and it is passworded.
pls Skydancer, can u give me your number so dat i can give u a call

i use a similar pc goto this site to get your specific drivers. i do not think you need to upgrade your OS. i believe installing this driver will fix the sound issues. www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=3352968&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=3352967&swLang=13&taskId=135&swEnvOID=1093#113165">http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=3352968&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=3352967&swLang=13&taskId=135&swEnvOID=1093#113165

on the pasworded network connection just simply locate the owner and ask for the wep key grin

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by darequam(m): 6:47pm On Jun 02, 2010
I use an acer laptop, Crystal eye webcam aspire 5535
1) The first is dat av only used ma system for a year plus and now its battery in (2months) has changed its lifespan from 2hrs to 29min plus,
What could be d cause of this??
Thou I av a funny feeling its bcus I charge my phone with it usin usb cable
2)Even without watching film with ma dvd-drive, it still went quack, what could be the reason behind this
3)My lappy Camera has never worked b4, even when equiped with the right driver, is it possible it works when I format and install a nu OS on ma system
4)With all d above stated problems , av been managing my system, not untill recently, as I was using it, it went blanck and freezed. This was d first time this would happen, so I reset d system, reboot and went to windows again, only to find out dat was not the last, it kept doing this and wouldn't respond to any system command after the freezing.
I did all check and required repair do-able on the system, but it was to make no impact.

I was of the thought that this was an hardware problem, untill I went into safemode where the system posed no threats or indicate any blank freezing. This made me conclude its a software problem, so am on the verge of formating the system for d first time ever since its production, and putting windows 7 on it. The current window and follow come is vista,

Pls giv an advice on the issue, especially if u think its not a software related prob.
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by blackweaver(m): 8:50pm On Jun 02, 2010
you might want to do a system restore to a previous time first; if you still have the problem you could try restoring to an even earlier time or then again you could just format; i'm sure you prefer the thought of using win7, perhaps an upgrade instead of format and install will suffice
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by darequam(m): 11:04pm On Jun 02, 2010
No!! Pal, its not like am eager to use win7,infact my belive is dat if a system should come with a particular OS, then its the best for it. I cee no reason to format or upgrade if there r no probbs with it. About the system restore, I alraedy attemted it, but, to my suprise there was no restore point to go back to even when I know I created some back in d days. With dat, it looks more like a virus problem erassing my restore points.
That's a gud idea upgrading, instead of formatting and I think I ma try dat . But, for now I think I should try installing anoda anti V

You might first want to check what is starting up when you turn your computer on i.e start --> all programs ---> start up (folder) if you see things that are not essential remove them from that folder.

Also depending on how much stuff i.e programs, games music and movies you have on the computer, you may have seriously fragmented your hard drive which would need to be deragmented start --> All programs --> accesories --> system tool --> defragment

you can also try to download a registry cleaner from cnet.com : http://download.cnet.com/1770-20_4-0.html?query=registry+cleaner&searchtype=downloads&filter=licenseName=Free|platform=Windows&filterName=licenseName=Free|platform=Windows&tag=ltcol

or you can buy more RAM, scan for viruses or malware or do an msconfig (forget this for now you dont want to touch that if you dont know much about computers)

well if you are getting loud sounds and no boot your hard drive might be damaged because it is not supposed to make loud sound assuming thats what you hear.

One thing to try is to pop an operating system disc in the computer and attempt a fresh install

Hello guys, I just found this thread and Im enjoying it.

A quick one please, I do have problem with my HP Pavilion dv9000. I use a window vista operating system.
I have used it for almost 2 years now and it just started having a start up problem. Each time I start,
it sometimes refuses to load the OS and would just stop midway like that, though sometimes it loads fully.
Each time it does that, I will long press on the start button to put it off and restart from the button again.
This could go on like 3 or 4 times before it eventually start up normally. I will like to know the cause of this effect and the possible solution.

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by skydancer: 2:11pm On Jun 04, 2010
@All: I'm so sorry, have been busy on so many projects.
@textmypage: Sorry, I dont understand your problem well. Please can you restate it?

@pasco: Have you tried Timsilver's reply? Did it work?

@slexi: You can download the driver online if you have internet connectivity. Just be careful to make sure you do it from the support website or you might download a beautiful trojan on your pc. What do you mean wireless network is passworded? I can't just tell you how to get a network password. My number is 07066078155 or 08182417610. Goodluck!

@colymore: Your laptop should be working now right? Might just be a 'dry bios' problem. Have you tried removing the battery and putting it back again? Did your laptop fall to the ground? More details. .

1. A funny malware could hook those keys (for which you will have to use an antivirus or give me a screenshot of the running processes on your pc
2. 'Impurities' such as sand could be lying under the keys (for which you should simply bend your keyboard and hit it from the back)

Free antivirus that offers web protection huh? The best full free antivirus I know about is ClamWin, there might be others too. ,
here's the link: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/ClamWin-Free-Antivirus.shtml

What do you mean by ADF7076A? anyway, you will find HP scan jet drivers here. Just select the one you are looking for from the list:

i said i bought a laptop (HP Compaq NC6000 Notebook)which was wireless and now the blue LED no longer shows and it seems that the wireless is disable and there is no place for enabling the wireless device and the LED button used to switch on the wireless does not work.
And you both asked me to download cobra pack driver 2010.I went to 4shared and behold the file was there but there are many files there so i decided to download the part16 which is about 96mb but it keeps stopping,
And you told me to tell you exactly the model type and name of my laptop so i posted it here but i did not hear from you again.
Secondly,i use a sky dude webcam and when i am online, it does not broadcast where can i download or get the drivers.i really need it cos i bought it since last and had not used it.it is really frustrating.
Please provide a solution for me cos i kinda tired.

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your recent enquiry and believe we've already dealt with this. due to other
user's asking for support would like you to always provide an update so as to get further
technical support. in additon I and my colleagues can only provide 1st line diagnostics in
ruling out whether a machine is related to a hardware or software problem. In your own case
your laptop has built in wifi card. Please find link below on how to activate this. Looking at
your record seems you can find your way round a computer, ok get to device manager to verify if
there's an ? or ! sign if it is let's us know or uninstall and restart for changes to take effect.

To enable this switch please take time to read the below

Dear Sir,

I like you to visit device manager and right click on the ? or ! sign.
Click properties and a box will appear with code 10 or 28 etc.
Knowing this code and your operating system type e.g. XP or Vista
will enable us to troubleshoot the problem.Common Reasons e.g.
IRQ not properly assign due to driver or signature issue.

Do not connect any USB device at this point until we know the code.

Good luck and thanks for enquiring
