WAV files needed
by Guest Bryan- 1 reply
- 287 views
I'm looking for a complete set of the system sound files that came with Windows 98 (startup, shutdown, etc.) I know this a tall order, but would anyone mind emailing these WAV files to me? It's easy enough to do. The files can be found in the control panel >sounds. Just copy and paste them to a new folder, then zip....and send! If I can return the favor, let me know. I'm running Windows XP. Bryan Totalrod2 @ aol.com (remove space) -- Posted via http://computerhelpforums.net Forum to USENET Gateway

Starting up your PC
by Guest attilathehun1- 18 replies
- 654 views
I'm having problems starting up my PC at all. I think a wire is loose on the power button assembly. The power supply works, because I tried on another PC and it booted up. Isn't there a way to start your PC by touching 2 points on the motherboard? I took a PC class a while back and my teacher often started his PC by touching 2 points on his motherboard with a screwdriver? If there is a way to do that please tell me. Thanks, attilathehun1 -- attilathehun1

undeletable desktop icon?
by Guest none- 2 replies
- 292 views
Just installed IBM's bluetooth stack on a laptop. Was sooo glad! Started to do the traditional 'cleanup' of an install and found the 'My Bluetooth Places' icon on the desktop will not allow me to delete it. Tweakui does not show it on the 'desktop' tab for icons. I figure it must be a registry entry that needs removing but not sure. Can anyone help with some info. on how to delete this thing? Thanks Happy Bluetooth User (except for desktop icon)

Starting your PC without the front panel power button
by Guest attilathehun1- 0 replies
- 255 views
I'd like to know how to start up my PC without the front panel power button assembly because my PC won't start or fire up. Nothing happens when I hit the power button. The power supply works, so I figure it might be the power button assembly that's the problem. I'm using a process of elimination to do this and the power button assembly is next on the process of elimination.

I bet you can't fix my DVD drive problem
by Guest anoyance@gmail.com- 0 replies

I recently got a DVD/CD drive that worked perfectly fine... for a while. I used it for some time and then one night we rented a movie (Finding Neverland) and watched it on our TV's DVD player. After watching it my sister came home and wanted to see it so my mom stuck it in again, but this time it didn't work. The player said that there was not even a DVD in the player. I decided then to take the DVD and let her see it on my computer (trying to be nice) and when I stuck the DVD in my drive, it too said no disk was in it. From that night on both the player and my drive didn't work. I could and can play CD's in it just fine, but no DVD works. The strangest and most …

Hello,,, I am pasting a post here that I made in xp general.....

Did I have a virus?
by Guest MM- 8 replies

Windows 98SE PC was working fine. I had been downloading some files, e.g. RealPlayer. No apparent problems. Powered down. Later on, started it up again. There was some kind of error message at the DOS level where it said Abort, Retry, Fail. I said Abort. Then: Invalid System Disk etc etc. Drive C buggered. However, I booted up to DOS from a floppy and most (95%) of the folders and files on C appeared intact. But here's the important thing, certain key parts of the OS were gone! The VMM32 folder in Windows\System no longer existed, neither IOSUBSYS. Also, no MSDOS.SYS in drive C. But I had a very recent TrueImage image, so I just restored it. Since then I hav…
