Thanks for the suggestions. I'm on vacation but I'll try them when I get home.
My Compaq laptop runs hotter as time goes on. I've had it since March 2008, so nearly a year and a half now. The cooling fan seems to run...
It sounds like Thomas is offline for a week. Hope he did set the laptop aside to dry out, powered down and without a battery. It sounded odd...
Thanks for your suggestions, Tony T. I think I will get an 802.11 g router and a new g adapter card for the old laptop. An 802.11 n router seems...
The wireless connection on my NetGear MR814 seems to have died during the night. I tried to log on to the Internet with my laptop this morning,...
The new memory came, and having 2GB instead of 1GB makes a big difference in switching between programs. Since I do that quite a bit, it's nice...
I don't think it's a defective memory stick. I bought two 1GB sticks at the same time and installed one stick in each of two computers....
I've kept the computer running with one old 512 MB memory stick in the left slot and the new 1 GB memory stick in the middle slot. That has...
I found 2 GB (2 sticks of 1 GB each) of laptop memory at New Egg on Black Friday for $15, free shipping. When it gets here, I'll see if it...

I'm not surprised that adding the memory stick causes a problem. I take your point, Rockster, that different memory will have different...
Thanks for the suggestions. I checked the motherboard manual, and it says that I can use PC2700 memory or PC3200 memory. It says that any size...
I've got an older computer that we put together from parts in 2002. It runs Windows XP with an Intel Pentium IV 1.6 Ghz on a VIA P4PB 400...
No choice for "All, but Mouse." Just for keyboard and disk. So I'll just see what happens with the "None" option checked. Thanks for the...
Thanks all for the posts and suggestions. Sorry for the delayed response. My wife has been in Japan for her niece's wedding. I've had to care...
Thanks for the prompt suggestion. I think I found what you are referring to. There is an item called USB Keyboard Support. In the comment...
Since I started using a USB mouse on my computer, whenever I boot it up it looks for a PS/2 mouse and cannot find one. So it stops. It displays...
One other thing. When I installed Windows XP on my new SATA disk drive, it showed up as a 127 GB drive even though it is really 500 GB. I...
