I have a Compaq laptop that had win 98 on it. I formatted the C drive, and rebooted. I had a win 98 SE CD- Rom in the drive I wanted to install. During the setup process, the CD quit reading for some reason, and the process froze. Now when I reboot, whether the CD is in the tray or not, a message comes on saying Invalid System Disc. I either want to install the 98SE or restore the PC back to normal. Am I screwed?? Any thoughts??

I have a 3.5 floppy disk that has pictures on it that I want to look at but I'm having a problem with that. My pc keeps asking me to format the disk and I don't know if it will hurt my pictures or not. These pictures are irreplaceable so I need to find out if it'll hurt my pics if I format the disk.

Hellow' everyone, Does anyone knows how can I transfer data from a Laptop (dell) to a PC (HP), I'm going to restore my laptop because of an error, but I really don’t want to loose all my data (files, m p3, videos etc.) I really don’t want to burn them all in CD because it will take me about 10 of them not a memory stick. So is there a way to transfer it using some kind of usb or something? is it possible?

Thank Ya'll for taking you time.

This has been happening more frequesntly lately--I have never seen this before on any computer--it's a Dell laptop. The screen just starts moving up and down for about 5-10 seconds, then stops. While it is happening, you cannot close the screen or do any commands

I had a hard time choosing these two monitors but I took the more expensive and older model because it came with a 3 year perfect screen warranty. That means that I can change the monitor anytime the screen has a dead pixels. For the cheaper and newer model, I had to wait for 2 dead pixels within the first year and 3 pixels the following two years before I could change it. Do you think that my choice to pay more and buy the older model was worth it for the "perfect screen" warranty?

I think its running Window's XP when it should be running Windows '95! Is it better to put more memory in, or change Windows to the 95 version? and what is the best way to do that? Or am I completely wrong and it's something else causing slowness? (Any comments about me being slow are most unwelcome!)

What can I do about it. I tried to buy an external hard drive and dumped most of my programs but it is still running slower. Does it have anything to do with the RAM memory.

i have a dell dimension 5100 thats giving me some problem, the problem is that it dont power up, the light is on the motherboard but thats it, the funny thing is that if you leave it with the power cable plugged in it suddenly boots up then loses power within a couple of minutes, but then the power supply fan cuts out but the processor fan keeps running very slowly until it seems until all the power has gone, this never makes the mother board light go out. i have taken out all the pci and graphics cards and but the memory back one by one but nothing changes. like i said it boots up by itself then loses it, between boots it takes a couple of hours, according to the manual and the diagnostics lights on the front its a hardware problem ( solid amber light ). but taking out all the hardware makes no difference because it comes on when it wants. any help much appreciated. many thanks.

The followg appears on screen.
PFN_LIST_Corrupt.
Disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory option such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode, restart your computer, press f8 to select Advanced Start Up Options and then select Safe Mode.

And sometimes, this appears too...
Run the driver verifier against any new or suspect drivers. If that doesn't reveal the corruption driver, try enabling special pool. Both of these features are intended to catch the corruption at an earlier point when the offending driver can be identified. If this is the first time, restart yr computer. Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed.

I'm confused. What should I do? Can anyone explain, please. Thank you.

Does it affect performance or just varies with the motherboard?

I am considering buying an Intel motherboard. I heard motherboards from Abit and Asus are pretty good too. Can someone please give me some suggestion?

And what should I focus on to determine a good or bad motherboard?

The video needs to go to all 4 monitors at once so that you can view a different application in each monitor. (ie monitor 1 - internet explorer, monitor 2 - Microsoft word, Monitor 3 - Microsoft Excel, monitor 4 - Quickbooks)

I am guessing that it will require 2 video cards that each have two video outs.

Does anyone know of a good solution? Specific make / brand info would be most usefull.

Thanks!
