Hi Doc, my resolution is already set at 1024X768, on 75Mhz though, it's a bit flickery.

Did You know that I went without my (multimedia)internet buttons on the top of my keyboard since last fall? I could never figure out why they dissappeared on me (and my friend with a similiar computer) They came back when I formatted my computer this spring, but they suddenly dissappeared even quicker than last time.

And my conclusion is that it is the damnable windows updates.

I randomly came upon finding an answer to how to fix my problem.

put in you hp model number, then download the lastest keyboard drivers and it will fix your problem.

The light on my keyboard lights up as well again.

Did you know that cleaning your hard disk really IS a good idea?

Go to your hard disk, right click, properties and say clean.

If you haven't done that (recently) you might discover that you cannot clean a few Megabyte but you can clean a few Gigabyte!

[Andrew]

You mean Disk Cleanup?

Cleaning a gigabyte is quite big, what was it mostly from? compressed files, temp folder, recycle bin?

[Timenn]

Yes, I mean that. Sorry, I have the Dutch version of Windows ( :() and I know most commands/labels in English as well, except for this one.

Now I know.

Most of it was compressed files. And one of the 2 computers I did it was 8 GB, and on the other 2 GB.

-But, never, EVER use said system restore with XP-SP1 and an HP/Compaq machine.

[Andrew]

You must have downloaded the patch that fixes the possible problem you can get.

I know I downloaded it.

[Percival]

Maybe I have downloaded that patch from Windows Update, but I have never downloaded a patch from hp/Compaq.

[Andrew]

Yep, it is available through windows update.

There is a new socket 775 cooler on the market, from Arctic cooling called the arctic cooler 7.

It is cheap very good and very very quiet.

The best top end Graphics card for Performance/Price ratio is the Nvidia 6600 GT

or the BFG 6800 GT OC 256Mb.

If you want to reduce your CPU temperature use Artic Silver 5 thermal paste.

A very useful free and small program is Everest Home edition version 1.51 from Lavalys.com.

If you have a Medion computer and you have problems with it ask me ?
