    Showing hidden files and file extensions is a different matter and showing file extensions is particularly useful.

    You own the computer and you’re asking us……….what’s wrong with this picutre?

    The computer should have come with a spec sheet and/or a manual.

    Alternatively, you could right click on the “My Network Places” icon on the desktop, select “Properties” from the pulldown menu that comes up and then look. If it shows a wireless network interface, you have one. If it doesn’t, you don’t.

    It matters not how straight the gate,
    How charged with punishments the scroll,
    I am the master of my fate;
    I am the captain of my soul.

    “Product: Compaq deskpro pc / Sr5010nx”

    It appears there’s no such model.

    Sr5010nx is

    Compaq Presario SR5010NX Desktop PC (a.k.a. COMPAQ PRESARIO SR5010NX HOME PC )
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/…
    (support home page)

    I found nothing that shows a close up of the computer case front.

    You MAY already have User Guides for your model.
    There MAY be info about your case front features in one or more of those.
    Look under All Programs – User Guides.

    Most Compaq desktop computers have just two leds on the front of them – one for power – it may have a lit up light bulb symbol near to it – and a hard disk activity led – it may have a cylinder symbol near to it, like a can you can see the top of .
    The power led may or may not be two leds in one – have two colors, the second color being for a sleep mode (Standby or Hibernate).

    Parts

    Product Number : RZ537AA
    Description : COMPAQ PRESARIO SR5010NX HOME PC

    The case and it’s part number is not listed.

    Holder
    5043-0071 Power LED holder – Fits into a notch on the top, right front of the chassis

    Light Pipe
    5043-0069 Power indicator light pipe – Mounts on the top, right corner of the chassis

    5043-0070 Hard drive activity light pipe – Mounts on the top of the chassis

    Nothing about a third led.
    …..

    The power led may blink when the computer is in a sleep mode:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/…

    There is an led on the power supply on the back of the case on many Compaq desktop computers – it may blink when there’s something wrong
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/…
    ……

    “…the first site i was on told me, it was my motherboard going out and would need to be replaced before it wiped itself clean.”

    Obviously if you were having no problems with the computer, that’s not relevant.

    Some brand name computers – e.g. many Dell desktop models – have diagnostic leds (a.k.a. lights) on the front of the case – but I’ve never seen or heard of that for Compaq home user desktop computers.
    Those diagnostic leds are usually supposed to be either all not lit or all lit one color when there’s nothing wrong with the computer and the mboard has fully booted – any other pattern or a blinking led indicates a hardware problem, but you don’t see that if there’s nothing wrong.

    Some generic systems have a plate in a slot at the back of the desktop computer that has diagnostic leds on it – that connects to the mboard. Similar applies.

    Most mboards have one led on the surface of the mboard (inside the case) that lights up at all times, even when the computer is not running, when there is live AC power connected to the power supply, the power supply switch is switched on if it has a switch (on the back of the case), and the power supply is connected to the mboard. That led should never blink. It’s there to remind you the ATX mboard is always powered by the ATX power supply in some places even when the computer is not running, and you need to disconnect or switch off the AC power to the computer / power supply whenever you fiddle with any connection inside the desktop case.

    Gee, being called on by name now…must be famous (not)…

    I’m assuming also you have no other operating system on the machine in question (otherwise you’ll lose everything on it)…

    If memory serves (it’s been a long time)….

    1. After making sure disk geometry is correctly setup in BIOS—Boot machine with Disk 1 of the upgrade set (it should already be bootable). Stop the upgrade attempt (it’ll usually just fail on it’s own).

    2. Leave Disk 1 in drive and FDISK C: drive as normal.

    3. FORMAT(also on disk 1) previously FDISKed drive using command (without quotes)
    “FORMAT C:/S/U”

    Using the “S” switch copies the system files to the drive after formatting; the files the upgrade looks for when it’s upgrading (as I mentioned years ago, you’re essentially upgrading DOS 6.22 to DOS 6.22).

    The “U” switch is an unconditional format (i.e.—can’t go back, but if it’s a fresh drive, it may not be needed—I’ve just never done it without it).

    4. Run the upgrade disks as normal (i.e. reboot or run “A:/setup.exe”).

    Again, it’s been a while, so bear with an aging memory.

    Is this the windows password screen that’s doing the asking or a password set by the bios? If it’s a windows password by default with XP the main Administrator account won’t have a password, unless you’ve added one. So you’d hit F8 to get the boot menu, choose safe mode and log into the administrator account. From there you’d go to user accounts in control panel to remove passwords from other accounts. This isn’t a security lapse by MS; it’s by design.

    But you say you can’t even hit the bios access keys so I’m thinking it may be a password set by the bios. I recall seeing some password cracks for Dell on ebay. You might check into that if it is a bios password. Other than that you’d probably have to contact Dell.

    Identify your computer, or BOTH computers if your topic is about two of them.

    For your Lenovo laptop

    Find your specific Product number and tell us what it is:

    Finding my product number
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_IN/Fin…

    Find it on the bottom of your laptop,

    or, if you access that web page on your Lenovo computer, see this on that page:

    Automatically detect this system’s product number (machine type / model)

    If this topic is about 2 computers, if the other one is not Lenovo ….

    Tell us the make and model of your brand name system, or if you have a generic desktop system, the make and model of the mboard.

    The specific model of a brand name system is often shown on a label on the outside of the case somewhere, or it can often be determined by going to the brand name’s web site and loading a program they have available, if Windows is still working, on the subject computer.

    If it’s a Dell computer…
    Go here for how to find the Service tag “number”:
    http://support.dell.com/support/top…

    Tell us what it is.

    If it’s a HP or Compaq computer…..
    Go here:
    http://partsurfer.hp.com/search.aspx
    Scroll down a bit.
    Look for the similar label on the outside of your computer.
    Quote the specific model number – that’s at the end of the first line.
    Quote the Product number – that’s on the third line.

    The model, sometimes the make, of a mboard in a generic desktop system is usually printed on the mboard’s surface in obvious larger characters, often between the slots.
    …………

    Obviously, check your keyboard for keys that are sticking in the down position.

    If that doesn’t help, it’s common for laptop and netbook keyboards to malfunction after they have been used a lot, or at any time if liquid has been spilled on them or the laptop or netbook has been dropped.

    Keyboards for laptops and netbooks are a frequently replaced item. There are usually lots of new clone keyboards for your laptop or netbook available on the web for a reasonable price.
    However, you need to determine which keyboard part number you have in order to be able to select the right new one to buy.
    Usually the part number for the keyboard is on a label on the bottom of the keyboard. You need to find out how to remove the keyboard to find that. In most cases, there is a Service or Maintenance manual available for your model or model series that tells you how to do that – either a download available from the maker of the model, usually easily findable in the support and downloads for your model, or they may not have that but the same may be available when you search on the web for free or for a small fee.
    ……….

    “also my pc audio not working “

    If this is a desktop computer…..

    – are you sure you have speakers plugged into the correct jack (e.g. colored green for a single pair of amplified speakers) ?

    Usually you MUST use amplified speakers (meant for use with a computer) – in most cases the sound adapter does not have enough output signal strength for un- amplified speakers to produce sound.

    Do you have more than one sound adapter ?
    If yes, Windows supports you having more than one, but it can only use one of them at a time – the other one(s) will not produce sound.
    You can easily change which sound adapter Windows is using.
    Drivers / associated software must have been installed for each one that you are using.
    …..

    Have you installed Windows from scratch since the sound last worked ?
    If yes, Windows probably does not have the drivers for your sound adapter built into it – you probably need to install the drivers / associated software for your sound adapter.

    Is Device Manager showing that your sound adapter is working properly ?
    Is there a yellow ! or a red X beside it there, or an Unknown sound device or similar ?

    (RIGHT click on My Computer – Properties – Hardware – Device Manager – Sound , video and game controllers – the name of your sound adapter.
    …….

    If Device Manager shows the sound adapter is working properly…..

    Have you check the Windows sound mixer settings to make sure volumes are not set too low or Muted (Mic should be muted there when you’re not using a program that can use a Mic) ?

    (RIGHT click on the speaker icon in your taskbar lower right – select Open volume control. )

    If it’s a laptop or netbook….

    The headphones jack on laptops and netbooks has a mechanical switch inside of it. It’s supposed to disable the sound from going to the speakers built into the laptop or netbook whenever you plug a plug (on a cord) into the headphones jack.
    If you have plugged into the headphones jack a lot, it’s common for that mechanical switch to malfunction. You could try plugging a plug into the headphones jack, wiggling it, then pulling it out, that may get one or both speakers working, but the only real solution is to replace the headphones jack – that’s an item frequently replaced by laptop repair places.
    OR – you could make do by plugging amplified speakers into the headphones jack.

    What shape is the 2nd disk in? If you hit cancel on the message did install continue?

    I successfully installed and played to the end pacific assault on my win7 box. Only thing I remember having a issue with was win7 wanting to open the cd in another session.

    I also seem to recall running the install as administrator [right mouse click and run as admin was a choice]
