    Bios won't recognize HDD

    Tnx mainegeek for responding. Doubtful it was a cmos setting problem as I had the same issue using 2 different pcs. Some good news tho - after a couple of "technician's thumps" I finally managed to get the bios recognizing the corrupted hard drive. Booted it up as a slave to a good master...

    Bios won't recognize HDD

    Have been setting up a new 80Gb Western Digital HDD for a friend. Original 8Gb drive had Win98SE. New HDD was set up as slave to the original master at this stage. The plan was to copy the original Win98SE drive to one partition as a backup, use another for a fresh install of WIN XP HOME and...

    Windows Explorer & Advanced Start Menu shut down when folder selected

    Tnx for responding. Re the possible hardware issues: will get around to checking them out shortly, but firstly let me reply to your other q's. When accessed via My Computer it will run for as long as needed - no probs at all. Works just fine. Shortcut to Explorer says: C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE...

    Windows Explorer & Advanced Start Menu shut down when folder selected

    I am using Windows 98 2nd Edition. When I open Windows Explorer, I can only get as far as clicking on a folder before it automatically shuts down. I can click on a file without any trouble. I can also navigate from folder to folder using the keyboard, but only for a few seconds or so before it...

    Norton Antivirus 2002 will not start

    Hi Terminader I found a solution. After failing to get any helpful support with this prob, and reading reviews and articles on antivirus software, I bought PC-Cillin 2003! Like it heaps better than NAV. Support seems OK, initial cost wasn't much more than the NAV upgrade (which was Norton's...

    Have a Gigabyte motherboard, GA-6WM

    Tnx for that smah. I got the manuals. According to documentation there are no jumper settings to enable PCI video. The settings can definitely only be changed in the BIOS. Spoke with Gigabyte who referred me to a local repairer. When I asked what needed to be done they mumbled something about...

    Have a Gigabyte motherboard, GA-6WM

    Have a Gigabyte motherboard, GA-6WMM7, with onboard video that has been fading in and out for past few months. Installed extra RAM the other day and when I went to turn PC back on, PC wouldn't communicate with monitor. Tested with 2 other monitors and same thing - onboard video seems to be dead...

    Norton Antivirus 2002 will not start

    Tnx shyber1 for the condolences. Am seriously considering the change-over option. Am totally unimpressed with norton's support. I just can't believe that I can't find a solution to a problem that so many other people have also had (from what I've read in posts all over the place). Tnx too...

    Norton Antivirus 2002 will not start

    Tnx for the input. Much appreciated. However, I can't even get Norton Antivirus to open properly let alone select an option! When I try to run it, nothing appears to happen - it still shows NAVAPSVC.exe under Processes in the Close Program box tho nothing seems to be running under Applications...

    Norton Antivirus 2002 will not start
