My problem concerns my Voodoo 2 3D card. When I play a game requiring the card the game freezes and I have to restart the PC. Any help would be appreciated. I run Windows 98. (more…)

My niece has recently acquired her first computer. It is a second hand computer. It works like a charm with one exception, the colours on the screen are only blue, green and yellow shades. However, the full spectrum of colours print. It runs under Windows 95, and there are no other problems with any of the software. What might the problem be and is it fixable? (more…)

When I formatted my HDD I lost sound so I reinstalled my sound card. The result was conflict with the PCI Bus. This in turn changed my display setting to 600×400 and 16 colours. I uninstalled the sound card. The display returned to 256 colours and everything works but of course no sound. Can you help me to solve this problem? (more…)

Towards the end of 1999 I had a problem with the monitor when I switched on my computer. The monitor was totally black, although the PC went through its self-testing process. A few weeks later everything was normal when I switched on (except for an ongoing ‘Windows application error’ which is irritating but doesn’t impact on the (eventual) smooth-running of the machine). Things went OK for a couple of months until recently when the same problem occurred (ie. dead monitor). The PC is less than two years old and had to be rebuilt after only six months. I’m beginning to lose faith, having tried a number of different options to try and locate the problem. Any ideas on what’s causing the problem please? I’m running Windows 95. (more…)

I have purchased Apollo TNT2 Vanta 32mb video card. Now it hangs the system when it finishes loading Windows 98. I have a gigabyte 5AA mainboard with 64mb SDRAM. (more…)
