Are you simply after finding out how to build a PC from scratch? You would be better off deciding what type of machine you want; do you want a high end one or just a basic one. What would you be using it for? Try looking at [URL="http://www.buildyourown.org.uk/pc-building/"]buildyourown[/URL] to find …

I already have Window 7 Pro and that automatically located all my drivers. My lappy is a HP one and they say they aren't releasing any drivers until window 7 is released. I suspect that your laptop will get drivers after Windows 7 is released. I think Windows 7 will …

Can you select which device to boot from? On my computer if I press F8 it will ask me what I want to boot from. When the copmuter is switched on look for the boot device key, press it and select CD/DVD drive. - Let us know how it goes.

I am assuming you have a 64-bit version of windows and your motherboard supports it? Did you try both of the new sticks by themselves or one at once?

I had a similar problem when my cousin forgot her password and she was the only user. I ended up using [URL="http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/"]Ophcrack[/URL] and that solved the password problem.

Are you able to enter the BIOS? try pressing del or F2 at start-up. Does the computer restart or does it just turn off and stay off? Do you know if you have a system restore partition or the XP installation disk?

I believe the file extension is required. some acceptable addresses would be: [B]-www.mycompany.co.uk/index.html -www.mycompany.co.uk/about.html[/B] If someone types [B]-www.mycompany.co.uk/[/B] in the address bar it automatically displays the [B]index.html[/B] file. People are used to file extensions in their address bar. Provide links on your website to these other pages and you should …

I don't think getting a new motherboard would be worth it; even if you could find one. Does the laptop work without the battery? How full is your HDD? For now it may be worthwhile turning hibernation off.

Did the computer turn off whilst installing XP? Perhaps there is a problem with the hard drive. Did you reinstall XP because of being unable to boot up? Can you tell us what the BSOD error is? [I]There's no need to number each line.[/I]

Try using [URL="http://www.cpuid.com/pcwizard.php"]this[/URL] to detect the name of your graphics card. You'll probably be able to download the drivers via [URL="http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us"]NVIDIA[/URL].

As they will both have different hardware configurations you will have too reinstall windows. Why not transfer your financial files to external hard drive or maybe use the HP hard drive as a second hard drive making sure you can access the data.

You should check too see if you already have the 32-bit version. On my PC my 64-bit version says [B]Internet Explorer(64-bit)[/B] whereas my 32-bit version just says [B]Internet Explorer[/B]. Install flash for that browser. - Hope this helps.

Have you tried [URL="http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/"]Firefox[/URL]? When you download something with firefox a box comes up with what you are downloading, try clicking on what you have downloaded and it should come up. Can you still get anti-virus updates and windows updates?

There could be a bit of a conflict between the two anti-viruses slowing your system. You may want to remove some programs from start-up. Do you have any useless or non-important programs running at start up?

I think it would be possible for someone to get at your files if someone determined enough wanted too. If your PPC has security for data theft then it should make it more difficult. Is there a particular reason for your concern?
