I have a small collection of GIFs I try to run on an older board and wonder why they don't run smoothly after a couple of plays. You would think 4gb of ram would be adequate, but maybe the person that made the gif has 16gb of ram and assumes that everyone else does. Not the case. If new...

Hello. A month ago, my power supply exploded and everything inside my PC cause got destroyed and corrupted. I got my whole PC changed, but when I used my Windows 10 64 bit CD, it didn't work. It kept booting into the screen of installation, then restarting my PC. I tried the 32 bit version, it...

Good Evening, New to forum. Outta the blue (no pun intended), laptop encounters BSoD. Quick aside on features: HP Elitebook 6930p, runs on Windows Vista. Older computer, purchased in '09, I imagine the driver has since been updated but not confident. Disclaimer: Not computer literate but can...

Hi, I'm a computer noob. I have a 12 year old retail-purchased PC that came with WinXP Home pre-installed on the 160GB hard drive. The original OEM hard drive squeals terribly loud and sounds like it's going to die. I'd like to replace it, but not sure how to get WinXP installed on a fresh hard...

Here is the situation, I have a peer-to-peer home network working great and I found an two year old desktop that I thought was long gone, evidently wasn't. It wasn't working right two years ago, however now I have learned enough about PC repair that I can fix it. One issue remains, once I fix...

Hello everyone, I have an older computer that is having a few issues. For starters, the computer randomly restarts on it's own. And it does it at random times, sometimes right after inputing the password at the login screen, sometimes during the BIOS screen, and sometimes while in safe mode...

Hello, I have an older laptop with Intel 855GM chipset. I tried a lot of tutorials on the net but nothing worked for me. The driver used to revert back on standard Windows 7 native driver. I was able to get everything working correctly finally :) . I put up a tutorial with correct driver for all...

I am looking for a SCSI PCI adapter card that has 64 bit drivers. No problem, right? However, it needs to have an external connector for a 50 pin SCSI-1 cable. Not so easy now, eh? I have a Nikon Coolscan 3 slide scanner and don't want to (i.e.: can't afford) a newer model. I recently upgraded...

Any way to tweek windows 7 RC1 to have aero support for older hardware?

I have a HP Pavillion A1120N, with a INTEL 915GV chipset. Windows 7 looks like crap on it, it seems to not recognize any support for Aero, despite being direct x 9 compatible. So wtf gives? How can I get aero to work on it? How the hell can people talk about how great Windows 7 is when it...

I am trying to install Windows 7 on an older laptop, which does meet the minimum requirements. The problem is that the laptop cannot boot from DVD. I have tried a few things thus far, like: 1. Connected an external DVD drive via USB only to find that the laptop is not able to boot from USB...

Using an older Dell Latitude D600. 1.6ghz / 1.25 gb ram / Radeon Mobilty 9000 - Installation was a breeze (including the formating of the HD to install over XP) - Driver support SEEMED spot on (more on that in a bit) - It is at least as responsive & robust as XP (takes some getting used to tho)...
