could you take a photo of your problem with the video card not lining up if thats possible? dropping a screw on it wont hurt it, if the cpu fan doesnt come off if you pull with a fair force then its probably on right. tipping the computer upside down and levering the screw with a flathead...

dont see why not. You could try looking on their website if they have one

well you can get an xp product key viewer or something like siw.exe which shows it you aswell (to see if it's the same product key). other than that, is the prudoct key sticker on the bottom of your laptop an IBM XP sticker or just a normal one? If it's got IBM on it you probably won't be able...

i was just on about whether its supported or not, thanks no fighting please! :)

no, hard drive size:price ratios are silly. Should run vista fine, don't see why not. I've put it on an old 20GB hdd before now so I wouldn't worry about it

ive got a nice old P75 tosh sat at home that still works fine :) its ruddy slow...but it works! from 95 or before?

hehe lol yeh...and keylock with an actual key

have you tried avg free?

anyone know if this: Intel E2140 Pentium Dual Core Socket 775 2x1.60GHz 1MB Cache 800FSB Retail Boxed Processor will fit in this? : Gigabyte GA-P31-S3L Intel P31 Express Socket 775 8 channel audio ATX Motherboard I'm not sure?

Uk :)

hi, welcome to the forum! yes you can find out what your motherboard is (open it up, it should have a model number on it) then look on the website of the motherboard manufacturer and see what they say about it.

yeh i tried a budget last time and it failed so I wasn't gonna suggest a budget this time and see what you guys come up with...just as cheap as you can without being complete rubbish.

I think the problem is that its decided to use extended desktop or something. If you have 2 monitors try plugging one into the onboard and one into the card and see what you get on the screen. If you get the desktop up on one of them them go to control panel -> display properties -> settings...

its possible that its the psu, If you've got another one you can try then I suggest that, otherwise go buy one. If its not that then atleast you've got a better psu :)

Ok then, seen as the last one failed I'll try again. I'm looking for a cheap upgrade for my PC (basically Mobo, CPU, RAM and GPU...maybe a PSU aswell) thats not really a great computer but has lots of room for upgrading later. noting the word "cheap" btw just so you don't get too carried away...

thats not actually what PC eye meant. You can download a gparted cd that will boot straight into the partition manager. its an easy step by step procedure. the first time I did it I didn't have a clue what I was doing.

windows xp? if so, open display properties, on themes click the drop-down box, click brows then browse to where the theme file is

doesn't look tike this has been done for about a year so here goes. What do you guys reckon are the best MMO's? We're talking mainly RPG and FPS here, maybe strategy aswell. (Without monthly subscription btw.)

the motherboard manufacturers website is normally a good bet, though not always true

lol, he doesnt mean current graphics card, he means the current (ampage) of your power supply
