Upgrading a Slow CPU to a Faster CPU
by Guest Brad- 0 replies
- 248 views
Hi, I bought an old Packard Bell "Multimedia C115" desktop computer from a friend of mine for $20.00. While he had it, he did a some upgrades (128M ram, USB ports, etc.). It has Windows 98SE. The Pentium processor speed is a 120Mhz. I would like to upgrade that to at least 200Mhz. Besides changing the CPU, what other changes would I have to make? Thanks in advance, Brad Before you type your password, credit card number, etc., be sure there is no active keystroke logger (spyware) in your PC. -- Posted via http://computerhelpforums.net Forum to USENET Gateway

Help Re-Activating Windows XP Media Center

I recently had my HP computer restored and my hard-drive replaced. Some software was just added to the PC and now I get a pop up message that I need to activate Windows to log into my pc. There is no way around this so I am unable to use it. When I try to input the activation numbers and hit ok, it will not accept it and says i have entered an incorrect activation number. Can someone assist me here or explain what happened to cause this? I called Best Buy and they informed me they would need to reinstall Windows XP for $129. Thanks in advance.

Internet connection wizard - Error Message Annoyance
by Guest dannydee@nospammm.com- 2 replies

I wanted to setup another connection using Internet connection wizard, and see if that would improve my modem speed. When I run ICW I get the following error message. "Internet connection wizard is unable to continue because password caching has been disabled. Contact your system administrator to have this setting enabled, then restart Internet connection wizard." How the heck do I enable this password caching? I don t recall ever disabling it in the first place, but I suppose this is something my ISP had me do, one of the last times they screwed up my settings. Please advise me how to change this setting. This is a home computer, there is no "system…

hello ppl simply wanted to download mobo drivers for an asus board,,, also a manual, (for an 'Asus A7N8X' if anyone can give....) thing is, seems obvious to me that asus's 'site' designer has done it to ensure you go round in circles,, and can never d/load anything. i even have a screen shot of a msg that comes up when i do a search for 'manual', it just says that 'word' is not in its database... and it was even entered in the 'keyword' box. does anyone here know of a good safe d/load place that i can get mobo drivers and manual from? (for the above model.) thx

Problem: Each time I download documents,etc...in PDF format, when I try to print said doc(s), a rectangle pops up stating "Unable to begin print job. Is printer available?" I then check if printer is connected...available,etc. It is. Even printed test page just fine. Tried switching from "doc" to "Image" on printer, as suggested @ Adobe help site, to no avail. Any ideas or suggestions out there would be appreciated. Thanks! 4justice
