Speaking of computers, I finally got my back up and running...after 9 months. The look of the forum has changed a lot. feel like a newbie again.

It's always nice to be able to fix one's own computer, etc. - saves money, gives you a little more feeling of control.

yes, i just reconfigured the thing again. lucky for me, i only bought a rebuilt computer, it cost me about 200 dollars, i really think it's fine though. one of my co-workers spent 700 dollars on a rebuilt laptop, and wrote a book with it, i was her helper. bye.

since the topics on computers i was wondering if anyone could help me with my problem i have a compaq presario that came with the windows xp home edition and i down-graded to windows 98 and i have a on board sound card and my computer dosent recognize it and ive tried dling the driver for it but it still wont work any sugestions?

135711 · 03-11-2003, 12:06 AM

not really, you tried to delete the driver? shouldn't you try to add a different one, you don't have to remove anything, i don't think, you need to scroll through the menu and see which software is listed that's compatible with the hardware you have in the computer and click on, then don't forget to reboot the hard-drive after you made your selections. another good thing to do overnight is schedule maintenence for the harddrive, that way any clusters that may be 'gliched' from removing a program will run smoother. hope this is what you need, good luck.

With Compaq's, I think they have specific drivers for their systems. reload the driver and see if it'll recognize it again. If not, you might have to reload XP, reload the driver and see if that works. Probably should get in touch with Compaq's tech support if it still doesn't work and u still want to use the onboard sound. I personally don't care for onboard sound. Just go and buy a good soundcard, install it and it'll have drivers that's compatible to win98. Remember, to turn off the onboard sound in your CMOS. BTW, why did u downgrad to 98?

jusplainfencing · 03-11-2003, 01:39 PM

ok thanks ill probably just have to do what you said and go buy a sound card i downgraded because i hated xp i bought this computer when xp was still pretty new i think but everything that i would buy or had it wouldent work with xp and i had nothing but trouble with it and the compaq people were a bunch of _____<~~~insert curse word (s) i was just really unhappy with it and my mom and dads comp. has win,98 so i knew that i liked 98 so i just decided to downgrade my uncle did the same cause ha hated xp too.....

This isn't entirely about computers, but I figure it's as good a place as any. Is anyone else having to login when you got on to the site lately even if you told your computer to save the info or is that just me and my computer?

See, the first problem is that you're using a Compaq. See that little Compaq decal on the front? It's the mark of the devil. I can't help until you've had an exorcist through.

Wannabe - I have been having exactly the same problem, not that it really bothers me, though.

jusplainfencing · 03-11-2003, 11:55 PM

you know its funny Swordsman everybody that has tried to work with my computer has said similar things about compaq being the devil......

Swordsman · 03-11-2003, 11:58 PM

I assure you, it's no coincidence!!

jusplainfencing · 03-12-2003, 12:02 AM

of course its not.....i think theres probably a subliminal message cause i cant imagine people are still buyin xp without some kind of illegal action goin on there.......

<~~~compaq

poor compaq, they're getting the same bad rap as arm and hammer baking soda, red-devil ham, and devils food cake [a chocolate layer cake]

btw:

i just had to ask why did arm and hammer get a bad rap were they accused of being devil worshipers or somthing?....but im pretty sure if you try to play the recovery cd upside down that comes with your compaq youll get verses fom the satanic bible....

Nice comeback - LOL. Phil Collins !!!!! ha ha ha. How old do you think I am? I haven't listened to the Motley's in many a year, true enough, but I'd advise anyone to check out 'Shout at the Devil'.

Nope. I listen mostly to aggressive Electro-Industrial. Metal too, I suppose, but there hasn't been much going on since the record industries thought it was about time Metal was cool. Now that Metal is cool they can ensure that all the 15 year olds can spend their pocket money and be different from big bro or sis.

Current Metal interests include:

Rammstein, SOAD, Korn (although the last album sucked the big one), Tomohawk and a few others. If you like your Metal unrelenting and heavy check out Godflesh however if you like Linkin Park it might be abit heavy...

Incidentally my favourite Metal band is Faith No More but I'm unsure if your old enough to have heard of them. Check them out if not - a lot of this yawnsome 'Nu' Metal is based upon them.

I mostly listen to music that sounds like someone has taken a jackhammer to a metal drum and put some drum loops over the top. SOmetimes there's a vocalist over the top but not always.

LOL - Phil Collins indeed - chuckle.

Event Horizon · 03-12-2003, 03:53 AM

so how did it work out? I've only heard evil things about compaq also. I would never buy a compaq. For some reason they tailor their drivers specifically for their systems...so you can only upgrade from them. The bad thing about going back to 98 is that Microsoft stop supporting it. If you want to switch OS then go for Win2000.

Iwant2bafencer: I dunno cuz i just log in. guess it doesn't help saving it to the computer. contact the adminstrator of this site. Maybe they have answers for you.

What's wrong with Phil? I like Phil....doh, maybe I said too much. haha.
