hello @ all, i'm working on a system, dell Vostro 1000, the problem i first detected was the board, it would power on but it wouldn't process to display stage, so i worked on the VGA chip integrated on the board after which it started powering and displaying. the problem now is when i tried to set the BIOS to boot from CD first, it refused and always boot from HDD. i removed the HDD and load windows on another lappy but it would still not load when i returned it |

thanks Zimmdrill, i reloaded the HDD on another system again but this time i didn't allow it to do 'set up', i removed it after file copying phase and returned it to the main lappy, it then finished set up and load to desktop. |

Hello house. Please i need your help and advise. I have a HP Pavillion dv2000 laptop that came with vista but due to the policy of the organisation in which i'm working, i had to remove the vista and install Window XP professional in order for it to work on my organisation's network as that is the permitted OS. The problem now is that i can't find the driver for the Audio, Wireless and Bluetooth also my mouse works irrationally and very sluggish. I've gone to the HP website but was not able to get installable drivers. Please what can i do next or any body that has any of these drivers should please help out. Thanks. |

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by tunddy(m): 2:41pm On Feb 06, 2011 |
Pls, I've complained about this before, i have a problem with my wireless on my laptop (hp compaq nc6220), and i don't think is the driver because it's drives, since when i formatted it to window 7 the wireless doesn't work again, so i thought it was the operating system that caused it, when i formatted back to window xp it gives me the same problem, pls someone should help me out. |

My computer takes about 3mins to boot back up though I have cleaned out all the files, arrange them in folders and sub-folders and compressed them, removed unused programs, have up to date software virus, limited the amount of startup programs during boot, and I still have about 60% memory left on my computer but for some odd reason, I expect it to boot in less than a minute, but it takes about 3mins or more. What do I do? My operating system is Vista on a Dell Inspiron laptop and have had it since 2008, it turned 3 years in January. Anyone have any idea what's going on with it? I was advised by the Geek Squad to replace another one, but that's a hell to the NO, I have really important software and platforms for work installed on my computer that I'm not willing to give up. I wanted to know if anyone could help me |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by denzel2009: 4:27pm On Feb 06, 2011 |
I used to have vista business on my dell laptop as well until I upgraded to Windows 7 ultimate. Everything that M$ got wrong on vista were corrected on Win 7.If you can just try and upgrade to win 7,it would make your life easier. You wont lose any of your files but you are always advised to backup. |

@manny4life. How many time have you formated your drive? Each time you format your harddrive, the speed reduce until it reach the peak and stop working. So you can get new hardrive, make it master and load another OS on it! |

@ZIM DRILL since you said it nolonger boot what happens when you press the power button ? does it stay dead of the fan and HDD kicks but then it wont boot?The power led is always on, the fan also works. |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by ZIMDRILL(m): 1:48pm On Feb 07, 2011 |
tunddy: in formatting you sometimes loose drivers, thats the case in your pc download the drivers for the OS you have |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by ZIMDRILL(m): 1:54pm On Feb 07, 2011 |
manny4life: first thing check what is in start up folder i,e programs that starts once you switch on the pc any program in that START UP may slow down your pc becoz they start to run once you which on your pc, secondly do a DISK DEFRAG it arranges the files for faster access |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by omega25red(m): 5:45pm On Feb 07, 2011 |
manny4life:like ZIMM said check start up folder to see what starts up when you boot also at the bottom right hand side of your computer you will see the programs in your that are running on start up you can right click on those programs and adjust their prefrences so that you manually start them yourself. For a bit more advanced folks you can you can click start - run - type msconfig - click the services tab - make sure you check hide all microsoft services - whats left would be the other stuff you might not need uncheck them if you feel you dont use them - click apply using the same start - run - msconfig - you can go to the startup tab and uncheck stuff there too use this at your own risk Another thing you can do is to down load a free registry cleaner from here: http://download.cnet.com/1770-20_4-0.html?query=registry+cleaner&searchtype=downloads&rpp=10&filter=licenseName=Free|platform=Windows&filterName=licenseName=Free|platform=Windows&tag=contentNav;navForm use it to clean your registry which also could be an issue good luck |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by omega25red(m): 5:52pm On Feb 07, 2011 |
tunddy:what might help is for you to check your device manager to see if your drivers are installed properly and if they are recognised by your computer while in device manager you could try double clicking on the device to see it's properties it might say this devices is working properly then you could try the update driver button. also you might have to not just down load the wireless driver for the wireless card you might also see if there is something called "wireless connection assistant" www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=447348&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=447371&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=228#11395">http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=447348&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=447371&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=228#11395 check ^^^ i did see a wireless assistant on there try that it might help |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by manny4life(m): 2:15pm On Feb 08, 2011 |
ZIM DRILL: I have reduced the number of start up programs, to just a few but honestly I just don't think its; however, I would do a disk defrag and see if that's the problem. Thanks for all your contributions and advice. |
