go to control panel,click on uninstall programs
when the page open,look for the modem program there and uninstall it..
After uninstalling it,install it again and restart your system after the installation. it will work hopefully

Yes, you will only change the DVD rom, not the lens itself.

please, do you also know how much the windows installation disc cost?

In computer village you can get one for a token (usually NGN 200 to NGN 250).

Getting the disk isn't the main issue-genuine or not.

Please, back up, BACKUP, BACKUP your files on an external storage before attempting any formatting process.
If you don't then it'd be really bad. Then you'll start looking for software to recover your files... Then it will be too late.

This has happened so many times on this forum.
The person will be like: "Thanks so much, I've been able to format my laptop but I can't find my files".

Am like: " shocked funke grin...

Don't let this happen to you ok

Of course if you don't need your files, you go ahead without backup...

Hello

Cannot happen.

I imagine you want to play games with it, right?

Or you tried one and it was lagging...

Or you wanted to install one game like that grin grin
and your laptop didn't meet the minimum requirements.

Whatever it is, you can't increase the dedicated video memory from that 32MB.

You will have to get a system with a good Intel HD graphics or something of 512MB.

I have 3 of such systems... Reasonable figures.

Hello.

The best way is for your client to use Windows apps for Chrome OS by going to Microsoft site.

Ofcourse there are ways you can wipe off chrome OS and put in a fresh OS (Windows 8 ) . But it has a lot to do with BIOS modifications...

BUT THE PROCESS isn't fool proof. Sometimes the windows might hang or freeze, some apps might not be supported etc.

Remember all those tiny errors in Windows you could easily resolve by refreshing... Well it'll be challenging with a chrome book...



Tell your client to either settle for windows App for Chrome OS or get a Windows PC.

Please I need your assistance my Gurus. My laptop started hanging for about a week now. Anytime I leave the laptop for about five minutes and return back, it will not respond except I remove the battery. And I notice before removing the battery that it hot underneath with fan noise.

Maybe the fan is not working well..and also check the processor..
take it to a technician to ascertain the problem

Yes I have formatted it and It works well after then. But d problem started again when I inserted a flash drive to d extent that some buttons were malfunctioning but it stopped when I remove the flash. That made me believe that the cause is the virus.
