Password help is posted here at least once a day. It is not that we don't believe "the kids did it, the dog ate it, etc." reasons. The possibility of helping do something illegal exists, therefore I don't think anyone here can help you. Sorry. Quote</p><blockquote>I recently bought a used laptop from someone I've known a long time.</blockquote><br/>This is the advice you'll get here:<br/><br/>Legally, a laptop should be sold either OS-free or with a licensed OS (that is, you get the install disk that blongs with the computer) So you haven't lost anything. Set it to boot from the legal Windows install disk that belongs with it (you did get one, didn't you?) and set it up the way you want it. <br/><br/><br/>How did you delete the password?<br/><br/>You should have entered "nothing" as the new password. If you entered anything at all, even spaces you may have actually changed the password rather than deleting it as you wanted to.<br/><br/>There is a chance(probably <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/slim-631323" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SLIM">SLIM</a>) that you could get into safe mode and correct the password issue.

I tried right clicking on the c-drive and formatting, but it gives me the error to close all disk utilities, I have no applications running.. so I'm not sure what to do.<br/><br/>If you could help, that would be great.Welcome to the CH forums.<br/><br/>Change the bios boot sequence to boot from the cdrom first (if necessary) then boot from your Windows install cd and follow the on-screen prompts to delete/create partitions and format.<br/><br/>Good luckQuote from: <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/dusty-239823" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DUSTY">DUSTY</a> on April 28, 2008, 07:52:22 PM</p><blockquote>Welcome to the CH forums.<br/><br/>Change the bios boot sequence to boot from the cdrom first (if necessary) then boot from your Windows install cd and follow the on-screen prompts to delete/create partitions and format.<br/><br/>Good luck<br/></blockquote><br/>How do I change the bios boot sequence to do that?

Files! What you are proposing (removing everything except the operating system) is the same as formatting the disk and reinstalling the OS, then adding any necessary hardware drivers. One reason I can think of why you may be reluctant to do this is that you do not actually have a Windows install disk? If that is the reason, maybe you should think about getting one, because if your hard drive ever fails or <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/gets-1005751" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about GETS">GETS</a> corrupted, you're gonna be <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/screwed-7384007" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SCREWED">SCREWED</a>!<br/><br/><br/></body></html>

As Im writing this Im dbaning the hard drive again. would the linux work like the 9x for adual boot? Thanx!<br/></blockquote><br/>I don't have enough experience with "Linux" to say. Plenty of opinions on the internet though.<br/><br/>I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/assumed-1986844" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ASSUMED">ASSUMED</a> you had access to Windows 98 and Windows 98 Second Edition. See <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_9x">Windows 9x</a>.<br/><br/>Since you don't have a CD-ROM drive, I was suggesting you place Windows 2000 Pro installation software (and any additional drivers you need) on the hard drive and then build your system in-place on the target machine. In order to do that, you'll need a compatible operating system to kick-off the installation program (either "winnt.exe" or "winnt32.exe"). You need to boot that basic operating system either directly or indirectly from the target machine.<br/><br/>Normally you would boot from a floppy drive, CD-ROM drive, maybe a USB flash drive(?), or an existing operating system on the hard drive in the target machine. Do you have access to an internal/external floppy drive on the target machine?<br/><br/>If you setup a small partition on the laptop to hold a "basic" operating system and the Windows 2000 Pro installation files (or the entire installation CD if you prefer), you greatly reduce your dependence on the installation CD and/or CD-ROM drive that you don't have. You would then install your Windows 2000 Pro operating system to a second partition.<br/><br/>The "winnt.exe" is executed under a 16-bit operating system. This is the version used to install to an empty disk when booting from the Windows 2000 Pro installation CD (which loads a minimal operating system). I believe you may also use DOS, MS-DOS, or software from Windows 98 Startup Disk (boot floppy).<br/><br/>The "winnt32.exe" must be executed from a 32-bit operating system. It has more options than the "winnt.exe" and may be used to upgrade or reinstall an existing operating system.<br/><br/>You need to pay attention to which "file system(s)" you want to use and which operating systems work with them.<br/><br/>I may not have all of this correct, but the point is there are lots of little background details that you are missing. If you think you want to try a dual boot, you should do some background reading/research.Thanks for the help, unfortunately I am going to have to park this <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/project-25521" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about PROJECT">PROJECT</a> for a while, something came up.

Answer» <html><body><p>1. Apparently when you want to <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/make-249948" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MAKE">MAKE</a> a bootable CD from an ISO image, the CD burner program must be told to treat it as an "image burn" not a "file burn", otherwise you're just saving another file to CD. <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/lots-544791" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LOTS">LOTS</a> of tutorials on web thru google, but this post thread gave me some quick insight:<br/><br/> <a href="http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=106429">http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=106429</a><br/><br/><br/>2. Test Memory <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/modules-14484" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MODULES">MODULES</a> and Slots. If you get memory errors during the test runs, record the locations. Then run the memory test again. If you don't get the same "bad" memory locations, the problem is probably outside of your memory module. Start with just one memory module, the 512MB. You might want to try it in different slots. After you have completely tested it (possibly verify all three slots are working if motherboard allows it), pull it out, and test the new 1GB memory module. Then if both modules test good, test them together to see if they're compatible with each other. Put larger one in front of smaller one. If that doesn't work put smaller one in front of larger one.<br/><br/>If you get the same bad memory locations each time, that module is probably bad or incompatible with your motherboard.<br/><br/><br/>3. If system doesn't stay up long enough to test, I would look elsewhere for the problem, but continue to use the memory test to verify future changes have resolved the problem. If it's hanging on the memory test, your Windows operating system software and drivers were not the problem. I'd look to heat, bad/loose connections, and bad hardware (I'm not sure about power). You can either start with nothing and add on or start with everything and take off components.<br/><br/><br/>4. Since it usually boots up, I'd start with power supply, motherboard, CPU, one stick of memory (probably 512MB), video card, monitor, keyboard, mouse, and floppy drive. There's also your BIOS configuration in CMOS. If you can't run in a minimal configuration you might want to reset your BIOS to its factory default settings.<br/><br/>5. Heat. I believe there are heat sensors on your motherboard that you may be able to read during CMOS setup. See what the temperature readings are. Generally if you remove heat sink/fan from CPU you need to reapply a thermal compound/paste between the connecting surfaces to help draw heat off CPU. Are all your fans supposed to be working?<br/><br/>6. IDE Cable. If you're using the newer PATA hard drives that operate at 66/100/133 (something?), you should have an 80-wire flat ribbon cable with a 40-pin connector. At those higher throughput speeds the old 40-wire cable won't cut it (will cause problems).<br/><br/>7. Hard Drive. What shape is your hard drive in? Most hard disk drive manufacturers have diagnostic programs on their web sites that you can download and run to check the integrity of the drive and its disk surfaces.Thanks again for all the help. I will complete these steps later. Yes all fans do work with the exception of one case fan. One fan was locked up when I went searching for the problem initially. <br/><br/>I don't think its heat related, I can have the computer unplugged all night then turn it on and it can freeze instantly. I will read up on burining it as an image.<br/><br/>Thanks again!OK, so I am still running memtest and its showing one read bar with 8 errors so far... says ecd917fe is bad, ecd907fe is good... Thats all its reading thus far...<br/><br/>I did move the 512K DDR around and it didn't change much. <br/><br/>Guess I will post more when the memtest is done...<br/><br/>Thanks again!ok 48hours and still running... still showing the same thing with alot of errors... whats my next step???<br/><br/>Thanks!1. Memtest86 v3.3 Documentation. The best source for interpretating the test results is the "readme.txt" file for the test program. I got it from the floppy diskette version of the download and ran it thru Microsoft Word to add explicit to end of each line so it's readable by "notepad.exe". Let me try to attach it to this post. If it attaches successfully, read it; especially numbered paragraph 8.<br/><br/><br/>2. I wasn't expecting "alot" of errors. Are these different memory locations or the same one (or few) repeatedly testing bad. How many "different" memory locations are testing bad?<br/><br/>If you're getting errors you don't have to test for 48 hours. Normally you test overnight only to ensure the memory is good (i.e. you're not getting "any" errors). Hit the "Escape" key to terminate the test.<br/><br/>Record the "bad" memory locations and as much information about them as you can. If you rerun the test and get the same "bad" memory locations, the module is probably bad. If you get different "bad" memory locations then those locations are not necessarily bad (problem may originate elsewhere, e.g CPU, cache L1, cache L2, motherboard).<br/><br/><br/>3. If you've tested with 512 MB memory module and gotten errors, I'd reseat that memory card in the same slot and test again to see if it repeats with the same "bad" memory locations.<br/><br/>Then I'd remove it, plug in the 1 GB memory module in its slot, and test it. If you get errors, record them and try to analyze what's happening using the "readme.txt" documentation for the test. Repeat the test to see if you get same bad memory locations each time for 1 GB stick.<br/><br/>If either memory module tests clean, run the test overnight to make sure. Then I'd run with that one to see if your system is now stable running Windows operating system.<br/><br/>Memory module replacement method works best if you're using known good compatible memory (and we're not).<br/><br/><br/>4. You know about the dangers of Electro Static Discharge (ESD) right? There should have been some installation instructions with that new memory module you bought.<br/><br/><br/>5. When troubleshooting basic system failures you probably should be using the factory default settings. You don't want to be overclocking anything. Work within the normal settings. So if you continue to have problems you'd want to check your motherboard and BIOS settings for everything.<br/><br/>[getting disk space - attachment deleted by admin]I only see the "attached" documentation for Memtest86 v3.3 in my previous post if I am logged in. If you can't see it, TxOutlaw, when you are logged in (or otherwise) let me know and we'll have to make other arrangements. The file size is approximately 36 KBytes, too large to include "inline" as single post (Forum has 10 KByte limit on posts). <br/><br/>However, I will include numbered paragraph 8:<br/><br/>------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>Quote</p><blockquote><br/> Trouble-shooting Memory Errors<br/>================================<br/>Please be aware that not all errors reported by Memtest86 are due to<br/>bad memory. The test implicitly tests the CPU, L1 and L2 caches as well as<br/>the motherboard. It is impossible for the test to determine what causes<br/>the failure to occur. Most failures will be due to a problem with memory.<br/>When it is not, the only option is to replace parts until the failure is<br/>corrected. <br/><br/>Once a memory error has been detected, determining the failing<br/>module is not a clear cut procedure. With the large number of motherboard<br/>vendors and possible combinations of simm slots it would be difficult if<br/>not impossible to assemble complete information about how a particular<br/>error would map to a failing memory module. However, there are steps<br/>that may be taken to determine the failing module. Here are three<br/>techniques that you may wish to use:<br/><br/>1) Removing modules<br/>This is simplest method for isolating a failing modules, but may only be<br/>employed when one or more modules can be removed from the system. By<br/>selectively removing modules from the system and then running the test<br/>you will be able to find the bad module(s). Be sure to note exactly which<br/>modules are in the system when the test passes and when the test fails.<br/><br/>2) Rotating modules<br/>When none of the modules can be removed then you may wish to rotate modules<br/>to find the failing one. This technique can only be used if there are<br/>three or more modules in the system. Change the location of two modules<br/>at a time. For example put the module from slot 1 into slot 2 and put<br/>the module from slot 2 in slot 1. Run the test and if either the failing<br/>bit or address changes then you know that the failing module is one of the<br/>ones just moved. By using several combinations of module movement you<br/>should be able to determine which module is failing.<br/><br/>3) Replacing modules<br/>If you are unable to use either of the previous techniques then you are<br/>left to selective replacement of modules to find the failure. <br/><br/>4) Avoiding allocation<br/>The printing mode for BadRAM patterns is intended to construct boot time<br/>parameters for a Linux kernel that is compiled with BadRAM support. This<br/>work-around makes it possible for Linux to reliably run on defective<br/>RAM. For more information on BadRAM support<br/>for Linux, sail to<br/><br/> <a href="http://home.zonnet.nl/vanrein/badram">http://home.zonnet.nl/vanrein/badram</a><br/><br/>Sometimes memory errors show up due to component incompatibility. A memory<br/>module may work fine in one system and not in another. This is not<br/>uncommon and is a source of confusion. The components are not necessarily<br/>bad but certain combinations may need to be avoided.<br/><br/>I am often asked about the reliability of errors reported by Mestest86.<br/>In the vast majority of cases errors reported by the test are valid.<br/>There are some systems that cause Memtest86 to be confused about the size of<br/>memory and it will try to test non-existent memory. This will cause a large<br/>number of consecutive addresses to be reported as bad and generally there<br/>will be many bits in error. If you have a relatively small number of<br/>failing addresses and only one or two bits in error you can be certain<br/>that the errors are valid. Also intermittent errors are always valid.<br/><br/>All valid memory errors should be corrected. It is possible that a<br/>particular error will never show up in normal operation. However, operating<br/>with marginal memory is risky and can result in data loss and even<br/>disk corruption. You can be sure that Murphy will get you if you know<br/>about a memory error and ignore it.<br/><br/>Memtest86 can not diagnose many types of PC failures. For example a<br/>faulty CPU that causes Windows to crash will most likely just cause<br/>Memtest86 to crash in the same way.<br/></blockquote>Ive got the 1gig in now and so far no errors... The computer just freezes in windows quicker with the 1gig in. I am REALLY considering parting the computer out!!! lol<br/><br/>Test passed with a 1 gig in.....what should I run or do now? <br/><br/>OK assuming I have the correct memory (1 gig tested fine) where should I look next? Should I run a boot disk? What will I do with that? I will leave the 512K mem out for now.1. 1 GB Memory Module. If the test passed, sometime in the near future you should run it all night or longer to ensure it and the basic memory subsystem is solid. You want to be sure the memory is "good" before you decide to keep it. Having said that, you should run with the memory that is "good".<br/><br/>If the memory test doesn't freeze then I would look elsewhere for the problem:<br/><br/> o Hardware (devices, cables, connections)<br/> o Software (application, operating system, device drivers)<br/> o Motherboard and/or BIOS configuration<br/><br/><br/>2. Let's start with the software. Start by minimizing your Windows environment. Safe Mode loads a minimal set of basic device drivers to allow you to troubleshoot and fix your system. If your system freezes running this minimal set of drivers, then it's not your third party drivers.<br/><br/>Boot your system into "Safe Mode" (the regular one, not with networking or comand prompt only). Let it set for awhile. If no freeze, then exercise the operating system and some of its utilities. Still no freeze, exercise your security software ensuring only one is active at a time. If system freezes, try to identify what you were doing and what software was active at the time of the freeze. Still no freeze, then add your second security product concurrent with first. Still no freeze, then add your third security product if you normally run them all concurrently.<br/><br/>You may want to disconnect from internet before testing in Safe Mode because your security software will not automatially start in this mode (although I guess if you're not running Safe Mode with Networking it wouldn't matter).<br/><br/>3. Potential Software Issue (don't address these yet - background info only):<br/> a. Application. One or more of it's files may be <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/corrupt-343656" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CORRUPT">CORRUPT</a>. Uninstall, reboot, and re-install the application (possibly download new installation file). It may also be incompatible with other software. This is relatively common for security software that operate at low levels within the system.<br/><br/> b. Operating System. One or more of your operating systems files may be corrupt.<br/><br/> c. File System. May want to check the integrity of the file system and possibly the surface of the disk.<br/><br/> d. Device Drivers. One or more of your device drives may be corrupt, bad, or incompatible with your system.<br/>If the 1G stick checked out OK then just re-boot to Windows ...run the machine thru it's paces and see if the freezing is gone.<br/>If so you have found the culprit...Finally gave up and took it in... They called and basically said the motherboard was shot... I couldnt find another Abit SR7 - 8X so I guess im computer shoppin... Im not sure weather to buy another tower or to get a laptop. I use my cpu for work email, maps and microsoft office things... Any suggestions for me under 1000.00??? <br/><br/>ThanksQuote from: TxOutlaw on December 04, 2007, 11:42:38 AM<blockquote>Finally gave up and took it in...

I cannot advise on a computer purchase as I don't follow the market that closely. I have strong bias toward desktops as I believe maintenance/repair is cheaper and easier.<br/><br/>2. Motherboard Shot. Anything's possible. How did they determine the motherboard is shot? Who determined it was shot? Geek Squad?<br/><br/>3. Does your system freeze when you're running MemTest86 v3.3 against a single 1 GB module? MemTest86 is designed to run forever until you terminate with "Escape" key.<br/><br/>Quote from: TxOutlaw on November 03, 2007, 04:31:56 PM<blockquote>Test passed with a 1 gig in.....what should I run or do now? <br/></blockquote><br/>So the 1 GB tests OK with "no errors". How many "passes" did the test complete and/or how long did you run the test? (I'm trying to get some data on the stability of your system. Test passed because... no errors were reported; it ran for several hours and complete passes; and you manually terminated test with "Escape" key; it did not terminate <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/via-723599" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about VIA">VIA</a> freeze.)<br/><br/>4. Hard Drive. What shape is your hard drive in? Most hard disk drive manufacturers have diagnostic programs on their web sites that you can download and run to check the integrity of the drive and its disk surfaces.<br/><br/>5. IDE Cable. If you're using the newer PATA hard drives that operate at 66/100/133 (something?), you should have an 80-wire flat ribbon cable with a 40-pin connector. At those higher throughput speeds the old 40-wire cable won't cut it (will cause problems).<br/><br/>6.

I can't tell you it's not the motherboard, but there are other things that may cause a freeze.</body></html>

548.	Solve : Microsoft 2000?
Answer» <html><body><p>I recently downloaded Microsoft Word <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/2000-247615" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about 2000">2000</a> onto my computer. I had been using <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/open-245076" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about OPEN">OPEN</a> Office freeware, but ever since the latest update, it kept crashing. SO, after putting Microsoft Word 2000 on, I wiped out Open Office. Now, when I open a document in Word, I get unreadable gibberish. What happened? How can I fix it?I wasn't aware you could download Office 2000...<br/><br/>If I were you...I'd purchase a legal version...Maybe I phrased it wrong. I purchased a disc, which is fully legal. It came with a certificate of authenticity. I installed the program from that. I was under the impression that Open Office was compatible with most word processing programs. It seems that it isn't. Now I can't <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/work-20377" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about WORK">WORK</a> with my <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/documents-247050" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DOCUMENTS">DOCUMENTS</a>. Your previous post states that Open Office is compatible with most word processing programs...not the other way around...<br/><br/>Since you uninstalled Open Office and installed Office 2000...none of your Open Office documents can be opened in Office 2000.<br/><br/>You can reinstall Open Office and use it for the documents you created with it.<br/><br/>If you still have Office 2000 installed...you may want to go to Office <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/home-237767" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about HOME">HOME</a> and check for updates for that software as well.<br/><br/>Remember to have your Office 2000 CDs available...you'll need them for the updates...</p></body></html>
