I have a laptop and was using it it was kinda old and had windows xp on it so i thought i would just downgrade it to 95 to make it go faster when i did that i realized 95 doesnt support usb disabling me from using my ipod, psp, and internet. i thought i could just upgrade it back to xp when i had inserted the cd it worked untill the hard drive was formated and now i do not have any operating system on the lap top when ever i insert a boot xp installer cd it just idnores it and takes me back to the no operating system screen. the same goes for my windows 95 cd. what did i do wrong what do i do to fix it?

i'm having trouble with my CPU fan getting stuck, so far i'm hoping that it's just stuck and not a problem with the actually power connection on the motherboard itself. there anything i can use to get it moving again?

I just bought a webcam. I went to hook it up, and my computer (windows 98 IBM) found the device. When I went to install it, it said "An error occured during installation of this device. The installation failed because a function driver was not specified for this device instance." Can someone please tell me (step by step) how I can fix this? I have no clue. I'm not a real techy person, so can someone please help?

I have a friend who wants to buy my 128mb memory card from me. We aren't super close so I don't just want to give it away. How much would you sell it for? When I bought it it was a few years back and sold for $50.

i reinstalled my windows & was trying to play bf2 singleplayer and every time i loaded a map, half way or all the way, it would crash to the descktop or restart my puter. i then cleared my HDs (i wanted to reinstall my windows again) and reboot. now the computer turns on but wont run post or boot & there is no display. it does boot when i clear the cmos or leave the power off for a while but hang and freezes randomly. i tried using the only main componentes like 1 ram, video, cpu, hd, cdrom. i tried my 2 ram sticks, 1 at a time in different slots. i got to the windows setup 3 times but first 2 had a stop error and the last one froze while formating, so i cant get to instal windows

this is my 3rd prob with my rig =( 1 was 850w PSU failed so i got thermaltake 1000w, 2 was 2nd pci-e slot shorted out and failed my 2nd video card. now i only run my good video card in the good pci-e slot.

can this be because of my other problems that might have burned somthing out?
