I just built a new computer for the livivng room and its replacing the old one my sisters broke. It turns on and starts up goes to the hit f1 to continue or del for bios blah blah...i hit f1 and insert the XP disc and it says "Boot from CD _" then it says "boot disc failure enter system disc and hit enter"

I changed the boot order in the bios to Cd rom drive and tried it again....same thing happened. I tried to make my own bootable CD with windows on it still the same thing....

I didnt put in a floppy disc drive....theres only 1 HDD and cd rom drive....i tried puttin in the disc after the messege i changed a bunch of stuff in the bios then changed it back.....I have no idea what could be wrong now.

In the bios it says it detects the CD rom drive and the HDD (which is clear cuz i just bought it new)

Im so frustrated because it seems everytime i do something like this it never goes smoothly!!

Im going to go try to use a different CD rom drive right now....
thanks alot.

I have a really old motherboard with a really old bios chip on it and I want to replace it with a newer BIOS chip from my other newer motherboard. I want to know if it is at all possible to remove it and replace it. I don't know if the following information will help but It might be good for something:
-the chip is rectangular on both the old and newer motherboards.
-the older bios is version 4.51pg and for some reason it recognizes the hard drive and it's capacity but when I try to install any operating system on it, it will set it up and then restart but then I'll get the following message, "NTLDR not found, press key to restart".
-there are no problems with the newer BIOS chip, however the motherboard it's on has a broken integrated video connector.

I have access to recent versions of Dreamweaver for both Mac and Win XP platforms to make a website project. I realize these are probably similar, but there are often subtle differences where one version lags behind the other in features. Which should I use? By the way, I'm mostly a PC user, but I sufficiently know my way around a Mac.

Does anyone know where I can buy A4 box files in Canada or USA? Only seem available in UK. I have searched the net to no avail, and contacted all the big guys in Canada - Grand & Toy. Staples, etc. and they don't even know what I am asking for.

Hi I can't pick up any wireless networks in range.. and I know there are some around b/c my husband gets them on his PC. My pc used to list the available networks.. and now it says makesure the wireless switch on your computer is on. I dont even know if this computer has one. But i can't figure out what's wrong. I can see wireless connection 2 that says not connected but i don't see wireless connection 1. I looked in the user manual but that didn't help. Does anyone know? Thanks

I bought my current computer directly from Dell for $299, and it has worked great until I dropped it while trying to dust under it. I need a new one ASAP-I do not want to buy on-line and have to pay for shipping or wait a week. I really only need it to go on the internet, and I would prefer a lap top. Any good deals at Best Buy or any other chanins anyone would know about?

it's an HP latop, it's not that old. It was connecting to the network fine, but now it's not. I open the window to "View available wireless networks" and nothing is there. I took it to another house and it doesn't show that network either so I'm guessing it is something wrong with the computer. Where should I start ?

I have three sdram 128 MB cards but my computer is still slower than I'd like and i am out of slots to add more ram, although i have a card slot where i removed the old internal dial up modem card (also have three other large slots next to that one).
I know there is a card you can add (like a moden card or video card) to get more ram slots, what is it called so i can get one?

There's no option on the start menu for it. When i double click on the clock in the bottom right hand corner it comes up a message saying "this operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on your computer. please contact your system administrator". It's not a business pc just my home computer, and i haven't messed around with anything. Could it be a virus or some sort of spyware? I have Norton 2007 so it should be up to date.

OK. I'm at a breakpoint in the debugger and now I want to examine the values stored in my arrays. How do I get Visual Studio debugger to show me the data in the arrays? I don't want to see just one value at a time; I want to see the values contained in array indices [100] to [199] for example.

Surely there has to be an easy way to do this. I've been doing it since the 90's in the Borland IDE and since the 80's on VAXs.

And while I'm at it, is there any way that I can plot data from arrays while in the debugger like you can in Matlab?

These are the things i did, and i tested it once and it said that the nat settings were open, and then i tested it a second later and it went to moderate:

- changed MTU from 1500 to 1350
- uPnP is enabled
- Disabled Filter Nat redirection
- Talked to a linksys consultant, and he gave me the wrong instructions to forward the ports, which did not work

what do i do? I have a wireless/wired linksys wrt54gc

I need a list of all the parts needed to build a computer. Preferably specific reccommendations of any parts you feel work really well.

I already have a laptop but I have to play World of warcraft with all settings on minimum an I still get lag sometimes, avg 14 fps and alot of the times 7-9 fps. It's simply horrid.

So I want to buy w.e parts I need for a gaming laptop or desktop. It will be just for gaming and nothingelse, no internet browsing, no music, no movies, nothing but gaming.
