3 AnswersSecurity1 decade agoHow do I bring up a BIOS menu on an older Compaq computer?
I am trying to install an Operating System on an older Compaq computer whose drive was wiped. The computer won't acknowledge or read from the "D drive"(CD ROM drive) where I have a system disk to be loaded. It is possible to go into BIOS I believe and select the D drive as the first disk to be read rather than the "A:" drive. Is there a function key that will allow me to do this? Thanks. I appreciate your help.
1 AnswerDesktops1 decade agoI don't have an AGP slot but in its place is a long slim connector.What is it?
I am wanting to install a video card in a "newish"computer. I was surprised to see I have no AGP connector. In its place is a long slim connector that I've never seen before. Does this mean I will have to go to a PCI video card for an up grade, or is there some type of video card that plugs into that strange connector?
Thanks!
3 AnswersAdd-ons1 decade agoAny Nader's Raiders left out there to help fight DSL subscribers being ripped-off by Qwest?
Can anybody help me? I am hoppin mad. I paid an extra premium for "high speed" internet DSL ("up to 7 mb download speed"). When I saw no difference in my surfing speed I phoned Qwest technical. They said on regular landline they could only supply 3mb download. 3mb!? I went to a download speed test site and I am getting 2.647 mb download speed--less than their published minimum for high speed on their speed indicator. When I questioned
techs and billing about it, they said they were fulfilling their obligation because they were "providing 70% of their minimum". Oh yeah, says who?? What steps can I take against Qwest Corporation for defrauding customers and using illegal "bait and switch" tactics? Thanks.
