My wife bought a Compaq Presario SR1215 3 months ago for use at her business. She was having problems with it so I finally dragged myself over there and looked at it. The desktop was blank (no icons) so I tried to make a shortcut to My Computer. It didn't work so I figured my next step was to
reinstall XP, but there were no CD's. I called Compaq and it sounded like she was saying the operating ...

You know if you learn to actually use a computer your compaq would probably work. If somethin is wrong with your computer, you probably did something stupid like deleted a system file or the windows folder(lol). Cuz Compaq is not crappy. I still have a Compaq
Presario 5204 from 7 years ago and it works without any problems(maybe thats because i know how to use a computer) but i dont use it cuz i ...

I was having trouble with my four year old Compaq Presario and some friends suggested I probably needed a new Hard Drive. Installed a new Seagate HD and formatted it using the CD that came with the HD. I tried starting up the machine with the "
Recovery CD" that came with the computer but all I get is a black screen with white text that says the following: Starting Windows 98 Microsoft RAM ...

Hello, In May of 2003, I was unlucky to purchase Compaq Presario 2500, which has been
nothing but trouble due bad engineering design and really poor workmanship. Since my work depends on notebook, I purchased "Accidental damage protection with express repair 3rd business day, 3 years". For the past 2 years i had numerous problems with this notebook, which required me to receive replacements ...

I agreed to fix-up my sister's Presario 1245 (Windows 98 installed) and want to remove the System_Save partition (D: ). She didn't give me any CD's so I need to perform this in-place, and from what I've read, D:'s only use is in combination with Compaq's QuickRestore CD. (If the OS dies, I'll reinstall with a real OS CD ;-). Killing D: isn't a problem, but every time I empty the
Recycle Bin I ...

I work on a network of 6 states big with more than 2000+ PC and 4000+ users. To be honest, the best PCs we have are Compaq Deskpro 4000. Sure they kick ass! The worst we have is Dell (Dell / Hell what the heck, just a letter different). I bought a Compaq laptop for the wife and is one of the best I ever own and a old Presario 4550 that
still kicking. However, I build my own PCs anyway. ...

...as a pistol target. I found that there were few BSOD issues that could not be suitably rectified with the purchase of a new computer. I pretty much saved the power cord, plugged it into an Alienware, and my BSOD issues were solved! Imagine that! Video card issues? GONE! Hard drive issues? GONE! Upgradability? SURE! A
REAL computer? YES! FINALLY! As for the Comcrap? Well... it ...

I will never own a
Hp computer again! Compaq made a big mistake going in with Hp. I have two Hp computers and they both suck I have had nothing but trouble with both of them.One I have had to use the recovery CD on and start it back to new and it's still not right. So I will never buy a Hp computer again and will never tell any one I know to buy one.
