This will sound like a silly question to a lot of hardware experts, but a friend just changed out his video card, from a 64mb to a 7000 series, 7300 I think it is, and you actually cant tell a difference on the monitor, ... I've obviously missed the point somewhere along the way.... somebody that knows help here... and thanks...

I'm trying to clean up my sister's computer and figured the first thing to do would be delete all her old programs.

Thing is, when I go to Add/Remove programs, everything on there totals to less than a gig.

Is there a way to find out where the 9.5 GB of other files is, without manually hunting around?

system: winXP
problem: transferred 1.5GB of files from my e: drive (partioned drive) to external storage drive. However, system still detects the same free disk space as before.
attempts: disk cleanup, virus scan, defrag (but fail coz % space too low)

My friend's parents gave him a Windows 98 Compaq Presario 5WV250 that they used before they got a better PC.

I've had Windows 98 before and It's not all that bad... but his is just jammed full of crap, over the course of 7 years, and he wants to refresh it for himself. Big problem is, he doesn't have the Recovery CD Set that is required to do a recovery of any sort. All he has is the drivers, which are pretty much without purpose, because his dad got the 98 hardrive installed by a buddy of his who conveniently forgot to give them the Recovery CD Set.

*HUFF!* I need to either:
-Find where to buy a Recovery CD Set for Windows 98, Compaq Presario 5WV250 (United Kingdom).
-Learn how to do a destructive recovery for Windows 98, Compaq Presario 5WV250 (United Kingdom) without utalizing a Recovery CD Set.

Can anyone help?

I want to use Win XP on my new custom PC. But here is the problem: 1. It's a Win XP upgrade from Win 98 SE. 2. My system restore discs are made by Helwett-Packard (which probably has the Win 98 SE). Is it possible to use my old system restore discs in a new custom pc, then upgrade to Win XP (prefered) or do I have to spend extra bucks a new full Win XP os?

I'm running Vista Home Premium and have a E6600 CPU. However, when I right-click on Start>Computer>Properties, it shows 1.8Ghz. Screen shot:

Screenshot:

Also, in my BIOS, it tells me that the frequency is 1.8GHz too, but the CPU is definitely an E6600 which should be 2.4 GHz.

Does anyone know why this might be? Thanks in advance.

I took a hard drive out of one tower that was not working and put it into another tower and it booted up fine. I take the same hard drive and put it into its original tower and it will not work. I have tried setting the jumpers, i have also tried a diffrent ribbon cable. If I put my windows XP disk in and try to repair, it goes through the motions but still no boot up.
