Must not like your job very much if you get caught. Or if in school equals the same thing...

Yeah, the temps never change. I think ill just take everything out except the mobo, use compressed air and clean everything out and put everything back in place. It couldnt be a vid card could it? Because the screen never flickers or anyhting, comp just slows way down. I wouldn't take anything out and do the air thing. Might blow some dust into one of the slots and not see it where a card plugs in and really drive you nuts figuring that out...

What kind of router is this? I know that with a Linksys you can change the 2.4 settings to different ones that are still 2.4xx and it worked for me. If I remember right it comes defaulted as #6 which is 2.442GHz. It can be changed from 2.417 to 2.467 easily. Open up your browser and type in 192.168.1.1 and enter or go. Then leave the user name box blank and click on password. It is admin unless you have change it or the user. Then go to Wireless/Basic Wireless Settings and change it there. At the bottom of the page click on Save Settings. It will make you loose connection and the page will go

Right click on My Computer and then Left click on Properties. Then Left click on Hardware then Device Manager. Do you see any YELLOW ! or ? on the Floppy Disk? If so, you need to install a driver for it.

intel pentium 4 processor yeh it is one long beep which keeps repeating - i've tried resitting the RAM - clearing cmos what do u think? Nope on the cmos. Plug a real mouse and keyboard in. Not the wireless one. It needs to see a Mouse, Keyboard and Monitor to boot up. Might have a bad mouse or keyboard.

More then you can stand and FREE... CLICK

you do know that gateway and emachine are the same now...right? Don't break his heart now... I wonder if he got on the CD drive people because he had to replace them?

I agree with the formating statement. Tis easy to recover anything in there. A wipe is the way to go especially if the HD will be given away either installed in a PC or just handed out. I find that it is best to go to the manufacture of the HD and download their little utility that will fit on a bootable floppy to do the write with. It can be used as many times as you want on the HD before you reinstall the OS on it.

Yes, formatting is erasing. "do i want fat32 or ntfs" Doesn't really matter if it's for storage. I think I did NTFS on mine. I'd probably do the full format as opposed to the quick. NTFS would be fine but won't work in ALL versions of windows. You would have to take into consideration what version of windows that you would be using this on...

My suggestion to you would be to refuse to work on E-Machines. That would take the bitter taste out of your mouth... If I kept falling off a bicycle because I couldn't ride, I would not get back on again...

The older e-machines were not the greatest PC's around. The newer ones have improved greatly. Do you think that e-machines makes their own PSU? No they don't. You need to Get on the people that made the PSU.

Don't know if Mozilla is like IE where you can go to Tools/Internet Options and delete Cookies and Temp Files also. Have you done a Disc Cleanup lately? Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Disc Cleanup and when it does open, put a check in ALL the boxes and click OK then YES in the next window. Let it finish. It may take a while if you have never done this. I would also do a Disc Defrag as soon as this is done...

They stated that due to the fact that there was no electricity, the dsl was down. Must be a mom and pop phone company that can't afford a generator to keep the Central Office up and running...

May have to reinstall Norton and then try deleting it again. You can go to Norton's and find out how to delete their products. They have a sequence to do such. I just deleted 2003 System Works from a friends PC and there is nothing left. I even checked in the registry and nada, zero, nothing, zilch... Delete your other post as it is the same as this one...

That picture is not real clear but if those are 4 screws on top there then I have the same set-up and all I did was unscrew the fan there and used a artists brush with long soft brissels and cleaned out the fan blades and the silver heat sink while holding a vacuum tube next to it..but if those aren't screws, then follow the advise above..

How big is the HD and how was it done. FAT or NTFS?

Have you tried to change it back and it won't stay? If so, you should go to the link that robroy posted.

Here is a link to Linksys Easy Answers... Click here Who is your ISP. The will have a speed test link that you can check it with. I use Spring DSL and am paying for 1.5 service and I have checked it about 4 or 5 times in the last 6 months and I am always at 1.4 something. Downloads are always faster then uploads...

That is like hiding under the bed from the Bogey man. He asked for a solution to his problem and another browser isn't the answer. IE is fine. Have never used anything else and no worry's here. Why is it safer and better? Cause somebody told you? They all have their little quirks. Wish I had that link that showed there were more flaws in the other browsers then there were in IE. Yeah, you read that last sentence right. Put it this way. If there was a bag of pennies, a bag of nickles, and a bag of $100.00 bills laying on the ground in front of you and you thought that you could get away with st

Neighbor just got the disc and it was $10.00 and they paid the mail charges. Probably have about $1.00 invested including the postage. You just have to let them know what PC you have.

Bet that his speed is like Dialup. I never have heard anybody say that their ISP only allowed so many devices to be hooked up. They give you so much bandwidth and what you do with it is your business. The more junk you have on it and active, the slower it is going to be.

Yes they do. But you don't pick and choose what you want. They have a disc for SP2 and other things like that.

Who doesn't? Well, HP is much worse than Gateway, Dell, and even their sister company Compaq Computer I worked on yesterday came factory direct with half the desktop filled with random HP icons (resolution was at 1024x768!) Of course I do have a problem with about every computer company: Dell - Download site for drivers is often down Compaq - Takes forever to reactivate XP after a reload - issue with Microsoft HP - Preloaded crap and badly designed cases Gateway - Really don't have a problem with them EMachines - Practically no driver support Of course reactiviation and driver support aren't

If IE have you tried Tools/Internet Options/Content Tab~Auto Complete Take all 3 checks out of all 3 boxes and click OK then go back and click Clear History, Delete TIF and Cookies. See if they are still some there now. You can put a check back in the first box if you want to now.

You should also cross out the number under what you crossed out.
