    Can you identify the BIOS chip from my HP 6730b laptop?

    It would be my friend's laptop which he was allowed to retrieve from his companies recycling bin. He gave it to me to try and get it up and running because his IT department, due to nonsence rules and regs, said they can't give the password but he was welcome to take it and try.

    How to open Call Of Duty: WAW console with an Italian keyboard?

    The option is in the game a one time trick/option. Changing settings will be much more problematic as I don't know what English symbols are where and I am also typing in both English and Italian so I would have to keep changing the keyboard format before and after playing the game.

    How to open Call Of Duty: WAW console with an Italian keyboard?

    I sortd it. I needed to turn the console on in the options and use the backslash key.

    Re-installed X1950GT driver, now I've resolution and TV problems.

    I found that if I right click on the desk and go to 'Arrange Icons' and deselect 'Align to Grid' then I can place them where I like but of course there is no precision in the placement and I want everything square.

    Re-installed X1950GT driver, now I've resolution and TV problems.

    Today I did a re-install of my X1950GT software because I was having a few problems, or so I thought. Trouble is that when I try and change the screen resolution to 1280x960 or 1280x1024(can't remember which I was on) from the default 1024x768, either through the Catalyst Control Centre or...

    Startup gives a disk read error.

    This is a problem my Mom is having with her computer, so this might be slightly vague. Until today she was having no problems. However, today she turned the computer on, got the startup blurb, it went to the Windows loading screen but decided to just stay on that screen with the Windows...

    Poor Vodafone USB modem signal

    Last weekend I had to resort to getting a Vodafone USB Sim card modem for my desktop because Italia Telecom are too damn lazy to install a landline to my house. Anyway, I am getting very poor reception and download/upload speeds and was wondering if there was a way of improving matters. I have...

    Entering password takes me straight to log-off and password re-entry.

    I tried all sorts of things; Safe Mode, Last Good Config and also logging in as Administrator but it always goes back to password again. Is there another means of salvaging the data off the hard disk?
