The manufacturer of the computer won't do a thing about it, it's not their software, if there is a fault with the Xp disk then it's microsofts problem It all depends on what disc you have, i'm talking about the Xp copy you can get free with your computer so if you reformat you can re-install...

no problem, altho cain and abel would have found that out :p but easier searching forumms i guess!

If you've tried that then you have to call microsoft and explain, you also have to provide documents showing you bought the computer with a licensed version on Windows XP pre-installed, then they'll send you another version of it which I think, annoyingly, you have to register as soon as it's...

Erm...thats not true, and it says specifically on the site, you can't post around your recruitment link either!

Or you could get a new mother board?

:p hell yeah

hehe, yeah that'd probably do it, only use the techie as a last resort. Don't worry, I haven't used any damn techie to fix my computer since I got it, mind you not much can go wrong with such a basic bucket of bolts! But yeah, take all the PCI slots, RAM etc... out of it, try and clear up the...

I'm not sure what the previous response was but i'd say you should go to the control pannel, view system information, go to hardware and choose "Device manager" then find the hardware that's not installed properly, install new drivers and update the device, then delete the printer it's...

Ssounds like missing DLL files, what OS are you running?

The internet has come across problems like this before and survived has it not? Many people have tried to ruin the internet, but it's, as the WWW. implies, a web of connections, it'd be very hard for any sort of systemscrash or hacking attempt to ruin the internet.

Maybe the chips you bought aren't able to be over clocked to any speed other than their sold operating speed which is 1700Mhz i presume

Yeah, your missing some DLL files, which is usually due to a virus! DLL files missing can cause a whole series of faults, if your opertting system disk has a "repair" function use that, otherwise just re-install the entire OS

Sounds someone elses problem on this site, basically, i think it's a motherboard fault, when it boots sometimes but not others it nearly always is a faulty connection or a short somewhere on the motherboard. My advice would be to take the computer to an expert repair shop and get it seen to...

Have you contacted BT because it sounds like a problem with their software that allows you to connect to the net. Although be warned, not many companies give any help if the problem could be caused by home networking. It's very annoying!! The only other thing I can think of is downloading a...

Hmmm..the same problem. Have you ever tried to contact valve? No? Well I have, they won't even reply, nice of em! I just took the crappy thing back and was done with it, not wasting my time on it. Alternatively, if you're not lazy, you could look for re-call notices on the game, or perhaps try...

Yeah you can, go to the CMOS setup and choose to only boot from CD, then use your win 2000 CD to install win 2000, however, if you've not got a seperate partition for you data that you want to keep you'll have to back it all up because I think it'll format your entire hard drive. If you have...

When you say insist, do you mean it says "You Must enter a password" or does it just not log on?

I've already searched google for setting up VPN's. I can't find any comprehensive, fool proof guide. Does anyone happen to know one that would help?

that's still debatable tho right?

yeah, it's just the poor little Matsonic not coping with your 512 MB, you need a vetter motherboard :P Sorry not very helpful, i'm sure that was pretty obvious!
