    HP Vectra VL420MP won't boot

    If that does not work I would guess the problem is either video card or RAM, most likely RAM with multiple beeps such as you describe. Try reseating the existing RAM first, if no go then swap it. Also HP list the beep codes for various models on their support site...

    installing a new OS

    What exactly do you mean by "it sees it etc"? Is the system configured to boot from a floppy disk? you can check this in Setup, usually accessed by hitting the delete key as the system first starts. It should be configured to boot from floppy first then cdrom and/or hdd after that. If this is...

    Controller error

    I would say either the HDD or the motherboard controller is on the way out, probably the HDD. When you boot it is taking too long to recognize the drive and timing out.

    Using background colour when writing e-mails

    Far as I know you cannot do this in Eudora, you can change the text colour from the toolbar but not the background, at least in V5 which I am still running. Help us to help you, please post back and tell us if this helped. All things are possible except skiing through a revolving door.

    Eudora in the system tray?

    There are 3rd party utilities which will do this for any program, unfortunately I do not have the name of one to hand, suggest you check the freeware/shareware sites for something suitable. I would be looking under "System Utilities" or similar headings. Help us to help you, please...

    Eudora faxes and signatures

    No and no, sorry. Signatures are text only, some basic formatting is allowed but thats all.

    New Built Computer; major problem!

    I suspect you have a hardware failure of some sort, try removing / unplugging all cards and drives except video, on that mobo I would assume you are using the onboard anyway. If it boots then replace the items one at a time until you get the error. If it does not boot try reseating the RAM and...

    Flashing Bios

    Just to reinforce what grez has said... make absolutely sure you have the correct upgrade for your exact model of motherboard and you follow the instructions to the letter. An incorrectly performed flash or an attempt to flash with the wrong file can and probably will leave you with a completely...

    Machine not booting for first time

    Possibly your hard drive is getting tired, it is taking too long to spin up fro cold and the BIOS is not detecting it. This may also explain the scandisk running on every boot, you may have some bad sectors (I assume you are shutting Windows down correctly after each session, if not this will...

    No sound after win98 reinstall

    Drivers for the motherboard itself, they control all the various system devices you will find in Device Manager, the busses, USB, AGP, etc. Windows will use its own drivers if you do not load any others but many newer motherboards require their own drivers to work properly. Normally a cd is...

    No sound after win98 reinstall

    Do you have motherboard drivers installed, most newer motherboards need them. If you do not have them on CD you may be able to get them from the manufacturer's web site.

    Boot sequence now very slow with pauses

    You would seem to have a problem in the BIOS. Try resetting it to default values, there should be a motherboard jumper for this or you can remove the battery for a few minutes. If this does not work a BIOS flash may rectify it, on the other hand it could kill the BIOS completely, rendering the...

    BIOS Flash in Windows 2000

    It does not matter which OS you are running, you must do the flash from a DOS boot disk, the OS, in fact the whole hdd, is irrelevant. Help us to help you, please post back and tell us if this helped. All things are possible except skiing through a revolving door.

    Any attempt to delete anything brings on BSOD!
