Greetings, I've been with Compaq/HP online chat for almost an hour.. with no success. I have a compaq presario 5660. I have the latest bios (1999 ver). I get into the Bios by clicking F10. I cannot find anywhere in the Bios how to change the boot sequence. I don't want it to boot to floppy, I...

I'd like to replace the motherboard on a compaq deskpro 5133. Can anyone tellme what size motherboard this is? Thanks

I have an older Presario 5240 running Windows 2000. I understand that Compaq doesn't support Win 2K, but it runs well for the most part. The only problem I have at the moment is that when I opt for either DOS or the Recovery Console during startup, I lose the keyboard. Is there a fix for this?

Another reason I would never buy a Compaq again. Microsoft Word was included with my computer. I've had two crashes (another reason I would never buy it again.) After the first crash Compaq gave me the code numbers I needed to resintall Word; after the second crash they told me to "take it up...

What's your advice on some models I should take a look at? All I know is Compaq and HP and I would not buy either because of the lack of help, even when you pay for it. They outsource and you can't understand half of what you're told. And half of what you understand is usually incorrect...

My Presario desktop, windows xp, crashed last week. To make a long story short, I had what data wasn't wiped out backed up to disks, then formatted and replaced the operating system with Compaq disks. Now I find that I can't defrag the hard drive and figure I need to get a new one. What do I...

Now that HP has taken over Compaq, their "help desk" is laughable. Pat

Last year a few of us chipped in and bought a Compaq SR2010NX Desktop PC for our neighbor. It was a special deal at Staples with a large rebate (which we had no problems collecting.) This year I'd like to get her a DVD-RW since the system came with a combo DVD/CD-RW drive. It plays DVDs but does...

I have an older Deskpro SFF system. Model #ENS/P600/13b/9/64c. It uses the Intel 810e chipset. BIOS ROM is 686J1 v2.10. I'm wondering what is the largest hard drive it can use? Currently it has a Seagate 13GB HD. Is it subject to the 32GB limit? Does anyone know? Thanks much. Patty

I have a Compaq 5080US which is just sitting at the red logo splash screen. When it powers up the keyboard lights come on for a second and the floppy lights up for a second but it does not appear to try to boot from the floppy nor the hard drive. Pressing F1, F10, CTRL-ALT-DELETE...

I am having a boot problem with an old Armada 7800: 1. I cannot boot from anyplace but the hard drive. After I've booted, the system recognizes the floppy and/or the CD. But, during the boot process, only the hard drive is recognized. 2. When I boot, I get the following message:...

Hi, I have transplanted the Compaq PC into a tower case. Now the only problem I have is that I don't know where to connect the power switch lead on the motherboard. There doesn't appear to be any sort of indication on the mobo itself and I've Googled for a while now and have come up with...

I am trying to create a partition using "Phdisk.exe" on a clients Presario 1650. The partition is crated at the end of the hard disk (as seen by Partition Magic 2003). However, when I go into the BIOS, I'm told that the partition doesn't exist. Note: I do not have a restore disk, nor does the...

Does anyone have an ISO image of one these restore disks? I have a client that I could use this for. Thank you, PLK

When I turn off the AC adapter to my Presario 2500 the display goes slightly dimmer. Anyone know how to stop this happening? -- Paul Charlton www.paulcharlton.org.uk

Hi all, I have just obtained a very old computer that was previously used in a university lab. I have several questions about it. I have trawled postings here, but I am still very confused about the computer and its behaviour. a) The computers' exterior panel reads Compaq Deskpro 5100. Does...
