We have a person at our store that loves to use and leave the caps lock key turned on. It's very frustrating to log in a password on our point of sale system after she leaves and it's denied because...

My machine is a HP Media Center that came loaded with XP Media Center. It's originally based on XP Pro with a somewhat buggy extended media player. There are functions for plugging your machine into...

Have you tried to uninstall the device in control panel and let XP find the device and reinstall it. Sounds like the driver had gone south on you. I can't find any support for that device on Sonys...

Welcome to the forums damienh. One way to get it open, being a Packard Bell and all, is a 16 pound sledge hammer or hurl it out a 30 story building. I've always wanted to try that. Seriously though...

Besides the Vette, we also have a 2000 Mustang bought in 2003 and it is THE LAST FORD I WILL EVER OWN. I hate that car with a passion. I don't get on my soap box very often, but when it comes to the...

Sheez.........I just checked my sources and an outright buy is $2999.00 and exchange it would be $799.99 my cost just for the board. You guys have a right to be pizzed, but, they are out of warranty....

Ok here's the update.

I tried hooking up the HDD to a newer computer..no errors. I tried using
DLG Diagnostic from WD using both the express test and the zero fill utlility all with no errors....

Yes the BIOS reports the HDD correctly. I'll download WDDiag and run it in the morning. Is there an antivirus that will work on a computer that has no OS installed on it?

Her son had gotten on it and had installed KaZaa and almost every other program that is loaded with spyware....it would barely boot up. It had over 2300 files found by AdAware and spybot and it was...

I vote YES. Gotta love the the funbags for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a between meal snack.

Thanks NooNooyou little Driver Terrier. :D

I'll try your suggestion, but I don't know if it'll work. I know.......I need to have faith in the suggestions and I appreciate it. I didn't mention that...
