What you said worked, I think i'm impatient at first! thanks but I'm askin for more, I need a Vista home basic activatn key or else my OS will expire in few days to come, the Key at the back of my laptop is Window Home premiun, please help!!!!

a windows product key is not something you can just request for. for example. is like asking someone for a password to your computer. he or she wont know, isnt it ? exactly is the same. windows product key is an authenticity. therefore it should give you optiont to validate online. is there just read what it says on the screen, or if you"re impatient reinstall windows. Good luck

The bloody lappy won't respond to the f11 key.Continuous pressing and it still shows the bloody BOOTMGR COMPRESSED message. I want to use d software like you posted,since its a packard bell would it work on a HP Pavilion? i hope the packard stuff works.
Deji you have been most helpful, very very helpful, Tnx a zillion

F11 not responding ? well, that explains it then. because of the interruption you made to the file during compression

This has now damage the hidden recovery partition that should have reinstall you O/S as a result of this you"ll need a recovery disk from HP. but i wont advice you get the disk until you run that Packard bell diagnostic i post earlier on. I use this @ my workplace so it work with any make. This would analyse all the sectors on the HDD if pass again then you"re laughing if it fails then need repairing. Good luck

Don't know why a guy will lead a lady on and later he starts misbehaving.

I've been friends wit dis guy for a long time cuz we went to the same school, but recently we bumped into each other and we sort of connected (so i thought). He would come pick me up to church, visit me regularly, we would talk for hours and he tells me everything, he told me he liked me n i kinda did but i wanted to b careful,dont want to rush into nytin.lately he started acting up,he wud call n say hes comin to take me out n he ends up not coming n den hel come up wit silly xcuses y he cudnt make it,it hapnd 3 times.

theres dis girl he said he had sumtin wit but it wasnt serious n i knw her (hes single)d last time he said he was comin to visit n he did not come,wen i called he said he forgot n dat he was with someone,lo n behold it was d same girl he said was a fling a long time n he wanted me to say hello to her,when i spoke to her she sounded like o y r u callin him,n she says she will come d next day with him to visit me.im like(after tokin on d fon)ok so wot msg is he tryin to pass,i mean u need to have seen dis guy on my case,ny girl wud fall, havnt done nytin wit him yet cuz my mind told me to wait a lil longer,)i rili dont knw hw to xplain beta so u guys wud understand,but d point is he led me on tinkin dat he wanted to be serious but i guess cuz he did not get wot he wanted n he knew he wasnt going to get it quick he had to move,n d painnful tin is i was beginin tolike him very much.

somehow iv bin waiting for his call to explain what that was all about but he hasnt called,its 3days now n he hasnt called n i dont want to call n ask him.iv actually takn my mind off him.

Talk to him and find out. remember communication is very important. Good luck, Deji Sunday

You"re one of the best computer user's have ever come across on nairaland. I have my reasons if more user's can provide us as much infor just like you did above then it will make things easier for the tecs. Good luck, Deji Sunday

I can't listen to music with it nor can I watch youtube videos or watch movies on it. PLEASE HELP!!!!

is it distorted when playing CD or DVD. when does the problem start ? have you install any software recently ?

First and most I"ll like to thank you for attaching what it sound like. a round overplaud to you. ok, the only you miss out is

to tell us Make and model of computer XP or Vista. ok not to worry I"ll go for XP due to it's popularity

One of the common reason why your sound may be distorted is do with a sound drivers software called AC 97 audio or High

def conexant. AC 97 audio or High def conexant. those are like a car that wont start up properly and then what you

do next is to use a jumper to make it start. so in other word the software is there but is sluggish so we need to wake it up

That just the basics. sice am not sure whether is XP or vista

Click Start, My Computer, view system information, Hardware and then Device manager look for sound video and game

controller make is got no ? mark if it does doublec click on it and tell us what the error code is if it hasnt simply right click and

each of the items underneath and uninstall it click ok secondly do the same for your display adaptor. after that restart your computer for changes to take effect. if problem persist which is unlikley

Then click start Run> DXDIAG press Enter then look for the sound tab if is XP should you option to test the sound if is Vista there should be a square box saying no problem found. Good luck

I"ll take it you can play youtube video but the sound is distorted, have you install flash player ? and also are you using Internet Explore 7, 8 or Firefox. Good luck

@deji2009. Thank you very much. The computer passed the tests and i'm preparing to format and reinstall the OS. What could have caused the problem and how can i avoid it?

That the best thing to do. In all honesty i cant say precisely what might have caused it. Good luck anyway

Thank you!

F11 on start up Windows is loading files

Advance option

System recovery

Backup before recovery

This will then copy your docs unto a removable device such as usb stick or external hard drive

Good luck

To access the HD hidden recovery partition keep pressing F11 on start up and should says windows is loading files wait until you see welcome to recovery manager click on advance option then backup before recovery this will then copy your document unto a storage device.please double check this has been done by connecting the device to another computer in making sure all docs has been backth up.Good luck

Ok, do a hard drive recovery by pressing F11 on start up. This would reinstall the OS. even though the hard drive test pass that doesnt mean anything. The diagnostic utility might have miss some sectors on the hard drive. so to double check again use this utility i use @ work

http://support.packardbell.co.uk/uk/item/index.php?i=6917051000&ppn=pb34322504 just follow it very simple to use. get to the Bios again MAIN and make sure the hard drive is detected if says None then it means the hard drive is not detecting. do that just to be sure and let us know. Good luck

Try this!

if you decide to reinstall by pressing f11 you see welcome to recovery manager click advance option and then it should give you option for backup before recovery then it would give you the option to save all your document try it.Good luck

@Deji
Tnx for your response. my laptop is HP Pavilion dv6000 with basic vista OS.
I tried all that you asked me to do but it wont respond to it. I switched it off,turned it back and constantly pressed f8,but it still got to the "BOOTMGR COMPRESSED,CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart"msg.Same thing with the f9 keys,it wont get to the advanced option you talked about.
Is it the vista giving too much wahala,coz i believe with pressing the f8 key it should go to d advanced option.The f10 and f12 keys still works.I have done a SMART test and it says the hard disk passed,what possibly could b d problem,i cant afford to lose the files on my disk and SURELY I HAVE LEARNT MY LESSON,even if it is the hard way.
Pls help ohhhhhhhhhh

@Poster.

I dont know if its just me, But I have absolutely no clue what you'v just written. Makes no single atom of sense to me whatsoever. Cant figure out your point.

Could you pls rephrase your statement , also make it short by summarising.


Regards

I agree

hi roomates, i wish to know why my mecury system is just giving me stress. i noticed the system when its powerd, it will stay for some time and go off automatically. i swapped the power pack with another working one, yet no way, i also swaped the RAM no way too. pls what could be the problem here? tenx

check to make sure no damage to the USB PORT and also check to make sure the keyboard pins aint beint if it is PS2 type. before attempting a reinstallation of windows you need to make sure no pheripherals were attach such as printer, speakers etc this will could be conflicting with it. Good luck

Can someone pls help with Lenovo thinkpad t60 drivers for xp

That isnt telling me anything unless you state type of driver e.g. ethernet, display adaptor etc

Good luck

s Reply here

This more or less like a tuition. The best thing is to go on google as this will explain to you how to change your details

Good luck

Computer guru's in d house please assist me.I use hp 2133 notebook running vista OS 1G RAM, 120 Hdd, Pentium c7-m 1.6 GHz. For some weeks now i noticed the system takes like 15 mins to boot, 10mins to open anything, av unistalled so many things, updated my antivirus etc but the CPU usage in task managr is reading 100% even when am not doing anything.
I will really appreciate your solutions. thank in anticipation.

Do you have norton installed ? ok, turn off the laptop please back on again dont wait for anything keep pressing F10 on your keyboard until you see a blue screen that says BIOS SETUP UTILITY use the arrow key to go down to diagnostics primary hard disk test then press enter and make sure your laptop is plug into the mains as the test can take 1hour to complete

if you have time try the Memory test as well bear in mind this can take forever if the laptop didint find anything then that means is fine. just incase you booted into the Bios and cant see diagnostics well download and follow this tool i use@ my workplace http://support.packardbell.co.uk/uk/item/index.php?i=6917050600&ppn=P660400401

does work with any machine.Let us know if you pass the test if you then you"ll be looking at resetting the whole lot back to square one. you need backing your data before you can do this like you were previously adviced. if the HD test fail then your hard drive is neckered just a case of finding a specialist to repair it.

Good luck

C'mon Nigerians. The problem here is that a CPU that used to run at normal speed now runs slower no matter the application in use. I've been playing games and programming with the PC for almost a year now and there's been no problem till recently. So guys though i appreciate your suggestions, the issue here is that i want to know the cause of the problems and solutions to it so i dont get the same problem when i get another laptop.
Note: i've installed many different programming compilers which i use almost everyday and i own lots of emulators(eg PCSX2 emulator and Graphic card emulators although i hardly use them.) could any of these lead to problems with processors and CPU's?

PS: I already mentioned that it was a DELL laptop running on intel. Please read my previous posts carefully.

Do a hard drive and a memory test by going to http://support.packardbell.com/uk/item/index.php?i=6917051000&psn=024366220139 if the hard drive fail then you know what to do if both hd and Memory test pass then you need to reinstall windows. take it you got a recovery media ? Good luck

Boys will always be boys

sorry to say am not usually like this. my advice is be bad tooooooo badddddddddddddddd

I now realize d best way 2 play with girls is 2 play foul. D girl dat i have been chasing 4 several months was pregnated by a yahoo guy who she told me she dislike. Now my real love is gone no more love but thug luv now.

they want bad thing and you have to give it to them. bad bad bad bad bad bad boy. nothing like am a christian anymore

be bad you get the girl.simple

So so true.

I had a chat with a friend, whom I just had as a friend yesterday, and she told me, I am such a nice and kind person. I laughed inside of me, if only she knew, I stopped being nice twenty minutes ago. I have noticed women at times, deserve the rubbish they get from men.

GBAM!

I was chatting and suddenly a friend called me up through Yahoo Messenger. I could hear the person but he could not hear me. I use a desk top and he uses a laptop. Do I need to buy a microphone and how much does it cost? Will the Mic need a softwarre to enable it? I am in Benin, Nigeria. Thanks again.

Also make sure is connected to the pink audio port at the back of the tower or on your laptop. The microphone is pnp plug and play so you dont need any drivers, Good luck

Its a Pc. Think I'll just get a DVD drive installed. Thanks. Good work.

yeah basically. Good luck

Guys thanks for your previous assistance. Guess tech novices like us have to ask questions that may seem dumb at times. Like Oliver Twist I am here again to ask - Is there a way my CD Drive can possibly play DVD maybe with a software installed without changing the drive to a DVD drive? Thanks once again.

no is not possible. you can only use a Compact disk rewritable to play audio disk. DVD ROM drive to play dvd

is it a laptop or a PC ?

Hello Landers and computer geniuses,
I need help,
I tried to compress my hard disk to save size,and when i couldn't wait for it to finish compressing(seems like its gonna take all eternity) I canceled the operation and it said i have to restart for it to take up the new settings,and on restart it wouldn't complete booting.
the message after coming up is "BOOTMGR COMPRESSED,click CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart" and when i did as stated it still doesnt boot past this stage.
I was thinking maybe the vista OS is bad or do i need to format my laptop? I have valuables on my hard disk and wouldnt want to lose any of the docs if i have to format.
Please what can be done to save my hard disk?
I have tried booting from the CD ROM and even done disk check(which shows the disk passed all test)but it still wont get past the above message.
Pls helpppppp

I'm guessing is HP or COMPAQ as you have done a hard drive test by using the diagnostic utility in the BIOS. is that right ?


well, you should have wait for the hard drive to compress all files before you do anything am sure you"ve learnt alot from this

Well, turn it off please back on again keep pressing F8 you come to advnace option use the arrow key to go to last known good configuration if no joy then see if you can get into safe mode. if you can get into safe mode then you"ll laughing if not them am afraid. hmmm, turn it off please get into the bios load default settinngs by pressing F9 or follow what it says on screen to load default settings. then F10 to save and exit then F8 then start windows normally.

If no joy then get back into the bios look for main and make sure your hard drive is detected it will either say PRIMARY IDE OR SATA if your hard drive is detected then is a software problem then if not then is a hardware problem just a case of taking to a repair man

if the hdd is detected Back up all your data by taking your hard drive to a repair specialist. Then pop in your VIsta disk should says press any key to boot from disk if no joy then press F8 then repair your computer it should give you option for start up repair if no joy make sure your Bios is set to boot from disk. am guessing is Hp if it is then you can make use of the recovery partition by pressing F11 on start up that would install the OS.

Good luck, Deji Sunday

please my computer is not toning again i dn't know way

That isnt telling me anything. take you go to the Doctor, do you say am not feeling well is so obvious you state what happening to you.is the same a PC how is it slow when turn on or when surfing on internet make and model of PC XP OR VISTA. Good luck

Those file showing are not virus. there are music album information which sometime display the picture of the artist while playin de song. they are suppose to be hidden files but your hidden files are enable.
if u delete them those album picture will disappear.

but u can aswell disable hidden folder by selecting folder's option and select hidden.
will check and the picture later and display it for u

I agree with you ,so poster try and follow his instruction if you dont know how to hide files let us know

Good luck

intel CPU T2050 @ 1.60 ghz, 798 mhz 0.99 RAM.

upgrade to a much better PC like ACER, DELL, HP OR COMPAQ

What you"ve currently got is not enough to play games like PES, FIFA, WARCRAFT ETC

Good luck
