HELP ME PLZ

2007-10-08 08:05:26 · 7 answers · asked by Anonymous in Other - Computers

I was trying to format the hard drive and reinstall Windows XP. My Dell would not read the CD ROM so I replaced it with a new one. I used my current Windows XP to install it and it is working fine. The problem is that when I try to boot from the CD, the computer bypasses it and goes straight to the old Windows. I entered "setup" by using the DEL key when I booted, and I checked to see if the CD ROM was #1 on the list--and it is. So why won't my computer boot from the CD ROM? It always used to work before the old CD ROM was broken. But for some reason it won't boot from the hard drive with the new one, even though Windows XP "found" it and says it is peroperly installed. When I go into the BIOS (aka "setup") after pressing the delete key at start-up, it says "ATAPI CD ROM." This is always waht it used to say, so I don't know what I should do...please help.

Or at least thats what my computer says.
Yes, my laptop is junk, and I will buy a new one. (My laptop is a Compaq Presario 700)
At full charge, my laptop says it will run for 3 MIN. on battery. I tried leaving it on longer, and it lasted for about 20-40MIN. On battery or so. I will buy a new laptop around December or so, so I don't want to spend the money on a new battery.

Can someone PLEASE help?

if people have already installed the old software. Can I install it on my computer.
I'm presently using OS 9.2 but need to finally upgrade to OS 10.X. I don't really want to upgrade to the newest version (5 year old computer), but figure that there's a lot of older OS CDs lying around as people upgrade. Where can I get these, and can I use them? Please don't tell me to get a new computer. That's not a possibility.

There is an article in a Maximum PC magazine that i am trying to set up, but there is an inconsistency. I want to be able to take my computer out of standby mode by wiggling my mouse. It tells me the following "Go to control panel, click system, and then device manager, and then locate the entry for your mouse in this list; right click it and choose properties. Click the power management tab and select " allow this device to bring the computer out of standby"" That is all fine and good, but when i click on the properties there is no power management tab. Only General, Driver, and Details. Please help. How do i set it so my mouse allows my computer to come out of standby?

My ISP - Orange - tells me that the reason my internet connection keeps dropping may be because of a faulty filter. Could this be correct? And what is the function of the filter?

I am looking for a website(s) that lists local ISP's by state. By local I don't mean anything like AOL, MSN, Eartlink, etc. Something regional only. For example, my ISP is through our local telephone service (again, nothing like AT&T).
Thanks ahead.

I have just installed Norton Internet security, and lone behold my laptop does not seem to be able to handle it.

When I first start up the computer does at least 5 minutes of processing before I can do anything. We then have a short period of reasonable operation. And then, after half an hour, the machine gets so hot and bothered doing pretty everyday tasks that it takes ages to do anything.

I know I should get a better computer, but that is not an option. The PC is not that old and to be honest there's no real reason why the software and hardware should really have a problem.

Anyway the question is - is there anything I can do to get the best performance short of uninstalling Norton? And is there any way to disable Norton temporarily? And could there be lots of other more useless programs working in the background that I don't know about? If so how do I sort them out? Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

I downloaded the iso from Ubuntu. When I burnt it to a CD and boot the PC with the CD, the CD automatically store a copy of Linux to my PC.

However, when I burnt the images of the 6 isos of Linux from Redhat to a CD and tried to installed them, the PC cannot read the CDs and cannot load anything from them.

What should I do? Thanks.
