Johnb! The computer says my taskkill version is not compatible with the computer. My system is 32-bit. Can you help me with this?

Yeah. My brother turned the PC on, and reported no problems. I'm not sure how long this will last though. Last time, my freezing problems appeared to stop, it lasted 10 or so days. Then started freezing again. I'll try to persuade my parents into the original one. Thanks for everything Johnb. :)

So did everything go the way it should have ?

I already did. When I tried booting up without the HDD, the BIOS screen showed up, and was gone, and nothing more. When I reconnected the HDD to the MoBo, I got through. Do you mean I should be able to use the computer properly even without the HDD?

Finished. Replaced CMOS battery, the settings were reset. I put the system time back on track, enabled Cool'n'Quiet, and Q-Fan. I also did as you said, and removed the two cables from my hard drive. I booted up my computer, and I got into the BIOS screen successfully, no errors.

I already thought of that. But I thought maybe I could get help online first. Seems I did. Thanks again for the taskkill you gave me. Here goes nothing.

Do you have any last-minute instructions for me before I try to do as you asked (removing and then replacing motherboard battery) ?

will it work on a toshiba laptop?

By tower, do you mean the PSU or the power transformer? I checked msinfo32, and I saw American Megatrends Inc. 0507, 12/23/2008 if that's what you mean. EDIT: I checked the ASUS website and found that Version 0507 is the latest. I mean, there is no version later than 0507. I'm not sure though.

Yes, I see the battery. I think I will be doing as you said later tonight, tinkering and all. So it's simple, I just unplug all external wires from the CPU and remove the battery? Can you explain this step to me further? I see only two cables, one connected to SATA1, and the other one...

If that's the case, then I have no choice but to agree. But what about the BIOS/hardware/startup issues? Can you still help me with that?

So you're saying there is no easy way (software, floppy disk workarounds, etc) ? I live in a province and there is no Toshiba shop here, not even in the nearest commercial region. I would have to go to the capital for that. Haha. No disrespect intended.

When you said, and: Did you mean I just had to unplug the computer from the electric socket? Or is it more complicated than that? And do I have to remove the motherboard from the chassis just to remove the small battery? If by Win7 actual CD you mean Genuine Windows, I'm afraid no. When my...

The "Save Picture As" option is disabled in Facebook's theater mode (viewing photos without having to reload the page, thus the picture overlaps the rest of the page, which is darkened). You have to refresh the page in order to view it in the classic way, (viewing the album in a seperate page)...

You can try making a Guest Account in Control Panel, if you have Windows, although I'm not so sure for other Operating Systems (Control Panel > User Accounts, in most cases). That way, no major computer settings are altered. You will have to log him into this Guest account, and password-protect...

close any other processes/programs that make use of the internet (torrent programs, browser windows, etc) by the way, what do you use to download YouTube videos? EDIT: Actually, I know another, surefire way of downloading a movie as a WHOLE. Most modern connection speeds nowadays would take...

any free, easy-to-use methods you might know of?

Okay, my late aunt used to have this Toshiba laptop with her all the time. A year after her death, my grandmother gave the laptop to me, telling me that it had no use for her anyway. Upon opening the laptop, I found out that it was password-protected, and my late aunt didn't give any information...

Thanks! But the startup/freezing issues are still there. This time, it took me more than 10 times of pressing the reset button to get through the BIOS screen. And the Control Panel Items problems that I posted about in the first page are still there. (System, Mouse Control Panel, Taskbar, etc.)
