Us "oldies" might remember (maybe I have to speak for myself :D ). The Win 95 startup disk does not have CDrom support. You need a Win 98 startup...
I have read that getting restarts in Win98 is highly unlikely, so I was surprised when I got them. Mine were from badly installed graphics...
I'm only working on theory (I've never opened one yet :eek: :) ) Looks like a temperature problem. If you can't hear the fan running, run your...
Hi, Maybe when you were changing the battery a connection has come loose. I would try removing and replacing the battery again. The transformer...
Check all the drives jumper settings. Windows setup said that it did not "like" the configuration (drive arrangement). I take it that the drive...
Hi and welcome to the BBS, (BTW, double posting is when you submit your thread to two forums, like the WinXP forum and the Hardware forum at the...
Ahh, PeteC sent me a message pointing out that it is a laptop (thanks Pete). I'll have to concentrate on the first sentence a little more in...
You will need to look at all the basics and the first I might try is swapping the power supply. The other basics are the RAM, graphics card and...
On another forum, one fellow had lost a data connector pin from his floppy drive. Everyone said to just buy another drive. Knowing if he was like...

Hi and welcome to the BBS, Yes, it will be fine. Matt Edit: can you secure it though?
Scroll down to Windows Installer Package. Old fashioned :D
I checked the FAQs at Aopen, they only say that the SATA drive will be listed as SCSI in the boot sequence. You (also) need to use the F6 key...
It sounds like "Varifying DMI Pool Data" does get completed. Usually after this you see a cursor flashing at the top left-hand corner and this is...
All the best of luck with it. You don't sound any where near as frustrated as you did before and that should make it a lot easier to spot any...
I would push the warranty issue a little harder. I would see it as a technical issue because the screen is obviously not completely sealed. Their...
What I was saying was to remove Panda completely. Reinstall it and uninstall it. (Pete and) I cannot rule out that Panda is not the cause....
Another thought, we could try making Widows "eat" the drivers. After removal in Safe Mode, when you reboot, the hardware wizard will run. In the...
The change could possibly be a positive one. Hopefully it will mean you are closer to fixing it. I've had the same sorts of problems. I bang my...
Separate names with a comma.
