Sounds like the PC is trying to boot from the wrong drive. Check the boot order in the BIOS setup.
Someone said pull out all USB memory drives. Good idea, this can cause exacly this problem...

Yup, those could be the problems. Or it's just crap.

:) NTT.

Err, yeah. Ooops. I'm showing my age here I think. I'll just get my coat...

Which ones? - The Oracle ones are the originals you get when you buy Oracle (V5.0 on HP Unix). The Others are the programming manuals for MS-DOS 6.01 (Press run 1) and the Windows 3.1 programming...

This has got to be a techie thing. My garage is so stacked you can't get in. I have 5 copies (unopened) of MS-DOS 4.01 (with the big manual) and the complete first issue of the MS-DOS programmers ref...

Wow!!! - I remeber when DOS v4.0 came out on those. I thought it was the last OS available on that format (?). Win v3.x was available on 3 1/2" but I didn't realise they put it out on 5 1/4" too! -...

You don't have any chioce: Outlook Express is a vital component of IE. IE won't opperate without it. Outlook 2003 is fine installed on top.
Remove Oulook Express and you have removed IE effectively...

Yup. I'd go for that. Good idea I think Confus-ed

Install FireFox. Safer all round (Err, generally - Except the Quicktime Plugin seems a bit iffy sometimes). You can get an "IE" plugin for it, which allows you to open IE in a tab for a link that...

Nope. The laptop will boot from the CD or floppy which contains the BIOS reset program. No Password is needed for that. This is specifically to allow password resets to occur (same as the CMOS Reset...

You are the err, 5 1/4 God. And I claim my free pint.

Ooops, got my ME and XP round the wrong way (Doh!). Still, enabling the BIOS APM will still help. To enable APM on ME is still in the same place, but I think you have to also enable it under...

Way back when software upgrades were sent out on 5 1/4" disks that went in a 5 1/4" drive with a little door that you closed after inserting the disk, we sent out an upgrade to a client with a cover...

Nero 7. Quick an dirty menu creation. Fully customizable, but the default menus are fine (if you like that kind of thing).

NTT.

Yup. Partition Magic is your boy.

Do NOT GET THE D-LINK. It Sucks big time and rarely works. It's slow, prone to failures and is not (at this time) supported by D-Link UK.

DHCP should not be set on the computer. Set a static IP of 192.168.0.10. Try pinging the router.
Plus, these routers are very prone to failure (I'm on my 3rd one, which still doesn't work and is...

Try reinstalling XP in Repair mode. You may have to reinstall a few things (probably not), but it should pickup most software and settings that you have. SP2 goes in again after that...

Use a BIOS password reset utility. Just google for it.

NTT.

OK, first of all, the SATA drives shouldn't need the floppy. XP should pick it up OK. Second, the DFI Lanparty series of motherboards suffer from bad SATA connectors. These fail OFTEN. Make sure the...

There are quite a few BIOS reseters on the web. Some are free. Just Google for them. They will reset the BIOS or just the password to defaults (no passwords).

NTT.

Nope, it's not that confus-ed. Goto the BIOS programmer and enable the APM functions.
You may also have to enable this in XP via the desktop properties\ScreenSaver\Power management. There should now...

Command line or "Start\Run" text is : %systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe

Just in case you need it.

You have of course gone to Administration Tools\Services and clicked on each stopped...
