Re: [BlindHandyMan] computer won't start

2010-05-12 Thread Lenny McHugh
Rick,
Well I ran the fix disk Then did a through virus scan. The scan was clean it 
checked over 208,600 files. I also ran regscrup and cleaned up about 20 
errors. The system has successfully started 5 consecutive times. The problem 
could also be a flaky power supply. I probably will give a little more time 
into looking for a new system. I hate to go 64 bit because of legacy 
devices. Karen has a dye sublimation printer. Also not sure if my old modem 
will work. I guess that my hp printer would also have to be replaced. Oh how 
I hate the thought of replacement.

Problem points to weakening mother board or hard drive.  If you can get it
to once again boot, I would suggest that you defrag and run disk check on
your hard drive.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] computer won't start

2010-05-12 Thread jim
hi lenny
you don't have to get a new printer
if the old one has a parallel port hookup and the new computer is just u s b as 
they all are now your not up the creek.
from amazon i got a cable that lets you plug it into the u s b poart then your 
printer hooks in to that cable.
then i had to do a little configuring but the instructions told me what to do 
and my hp lazer jet still works fine.

Jim is correct about USB adapters too, you can get USB to parallel and
serial ports easilly and almost anythinng else you havn' heard of.
