I cant set the dvd to slave since it has no jumpers for that but I was able to make a set of jumpers for my HD out of tin foil and make it a master drive.

Hi, I just installed a new 8X dvd into my laptop, the conection works and the drive gets power. the drive spins up and seems to work except that when I put it in my computer it seems to make the computer think that it's the primary hd that should have the operating system on it. So instead of...

Thanks, I've been trying to slove this problem for weeks!!! MercuriusX

Cant help you on finding that perticular part but I can offer a teporary solution. Hook up her laptop to a cheap monitor untill you find the screen you're looking for. good 14" color svga monitors go used for about 30 buck at a used computer store. Also while you're looking at the used...

I've been trying to install the latest version of 3dfx tools for my voodoo3 and everytime I try to install it I get the error "internal error 2237" what is this and how do I get it to install????? I already redownloaded a different one but I get hte same thing. Thanks MercuriusX

I had the same thing happen to me a few months ago, I couldn't do anything until I gave my computer a fresh start. This is how you do that. Gateway should have given you "recovory disks". One or two based on the amount of pre-installed software. If so there are one of two things you...

Also check the port you're conecting the drive to. make sure it's cleen and getting a good connection with plug. that causes problems too. MercuriusX

That really depends on what you're using your monitor for. Are you using it for just desktop apps and stuff like that? If so just go for the DB15M-to-DB15M and plug the monitor up to the computer. However if you're going to be using your computer to watch dvd's, Avi's, mpeg's, or running...

Thanks!!!! It works better now. Shows me I should have more faith in compaqs online support.

I have a bunch of computers and one is an older compaq 5070 series with an internet keyboard. I've never used aol and I've never signed up for their gte internet offer but I cant get a browser to pop up when I hit the internet button. I've tried to find a way to configure it but I cant find...

Yes it is totaly possible that your agp slot was the only thing that got fried. Just like and electrical storm might only short out a modem or nic card. I would recomend talking to the company you bought the board from, explain what happened and see if you can get it repaired or replaced...

Seaport, I'm not sure if windows 2000 supports duel video cards but it wouldn't suprise me at all if it did. After all it's supported in windows 98 and win 2000 is a far more stable os and there for would better be able to handle it. As for what card to use I would look into buying the...

Yes that seems to be a theme I've seen in windows xp. If you ask me Microsoft is doing that on purpose to make the system more stable. It's bad for us high end users who need that level of performance.

I installed a voodoo 3 2000 pci card on my G-friends compaq series 5070 about a month ago and everything worked fine untill last friday. When she turned on the computer that morning there was no picture. I uninstalled the card, took it out, and put it back in. It still doesnt give me a screen...
