seth, Thanks so much, the link for the emachines worked a treat. I honestly can't thank you enough, and you've made one 8yr old boy really happy. I had really started to get disheartened with this pc, and was at one point today just going to buy a new one after spending hours on end trying to fix it (as a novice it's really hard)!! Once again, thanks enormously, and will as promised make a donation to your fantastic site. Louise :D

Thanks seth, tried the microsoft updates, no drivers on there, will try other suggestions now.:)

seth, can you point me in the right direction, I cannot see the motherboard tab on the page as the monitor isn't clear enough. Where do I find the motherboard number? Sorry can't see it anywhere.

Thanks seth, can you just bare with me a couple of minutes while I switch from this laptop to the pc. Did try left and right click and extract, not working. Thanks

installed xp, now monitor problems Hi, I installed an xp cd as recommended by guys, and now the monitor isn't working properly. I have looked on the device manager, and I can't see a monitor on there! I have been on a drivers website and downloaded the driver I need, but not too sure now how I can go about this as there is no monitor showing. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance

No there aren't have had a look on their website but not listed. Have noticed some for sale on auction sites (not gonna buy one just being nosey) with similar model numbers, eg emachines and then the number but no letter. Thanks again guys, Louise

Thanks guys, will try that tomorrow, will look around for xp disc too. Cheers,:) Louise

There will be a donation as I said, (promise) will get a disc then ask for help if that's ok, Thanks again Louise

You're probably right, I will look into buying one on the net later. Thanks for all your help, Will let you know how I get on.

Sorry seth, no cds, asked my sister, just as bad as me, not a clue!

Seth, Looked on the back, only says EMACHINES 270 PART NO- 511934 No other letters anywhere!

Thanks flair4it, will try that one later, although I have tried to install a cd to clean the system, and the same error messages come on after the disc starts to run then it closes the task. Will have a go though worth a try, Cheers

Oh right, could have worked that one out myself if I had thought about it for a second, (an os) Thank you for clarifying that.:)

Thanks dalo, sorry if I sound stupid to you supertechs, but what is an os?
