Compaq Answered Questions & Fixed Issues

I'm having problems locating a manual. Compaq doesn't seem to support the model anymore. Reading a review online, It almost looks like Compaq had an Application control this instead of practical buttons on the front. Here's the review I read that talked about it -> http://www0.epinions.com/content_28050886276

Hi allisalevall,

If you cant watch a DVD movie you need to install a codec pack on your computer so that you can view the movie on your system. Click here to download. Enjoy watching.

Don't forget to say Thanks. Thanks for using Fixya.

Go to www.filehippo.com and download K-Lite codec pack and install it.During the install select windows media player or windows player classic as your default player.Uninstall GOM its a low quality media player

use wired Ethernet, so it works. easy. wifi is far more complex. best is to own the router, you have. then login to it and set it up for wpa./wpa2 wep off. and a nice password for wifi so others cant hack it. in the hood. then use those credentials all all your toys. xbox, PCs and cell. that is the best way the access point is covered in you manual for the router there is AP button there, you push. the PC in question my guess is the drivers are no good. missing wrong, or corrupted. no PC full model stated. no OS stated no router stated. so answers will be weak to wrong,.

Start your web browser, find options, open options. Find and open search. On this page you will see "Use the address bar for search and navigation" and "Add search bar in toolbar" which puts a separate window next to the address bar with search written in it.. Choose which one you want to use Go down to one click search engines. You will see a number of search engines in a box usually ticked. I use a search engine called Duckduckgo because it does not keep any data on me... under the search engines box there is a line in blue "Find more search engines". Click on the blue line and you will see a list of different search engines, click on one and a new page will open up and you follow instructions to install the search engine. In she search engine box, if you do not want use one of engines just un-tick it Hope this helps Regards Geoff

b> Copy-protected DVDs prohibit people from copying them, which is piracy. Copying a DVD to sell or even to give away is illegal. You can play copy-protected DVDs in a standalone DVD player or in your computer's DVD drive, as long as your computer's software is up to date. These DVDs will play the same as DVDs that are not copy protected Press the "Eject" button on your DVD player to open the DVD tray. Set the DVD into the tray, and push the "Eject" button to close the tray. Press the "Play" button on your DVD player, and the DVD will play. b> On a DVD Drive on a Computer Press the "Eject" button on your DVD drive to eject the DVD tray. Set the DVD into the DVD drive, and push the tray in to close it. Click the "Start" tab on your computer's home screen to open the "Start" menu. Click on "My Computer" to open it. Click on the DVD drive to open the DVD. Click on "Autoplay" to play the DVD.

if it is the only process that freezes up you should re-install your "ripping" software. If the whole computer freezes up you need more ram or need to free up some memory. You may have too much going on when ripping.

Hi,

You stated an issue about playing/viewing AVI files on your computer?
I would suggest to go ahead and download an AVI file converter(w/c you can search via google or download via Filehippo.com)or get an AVI viewer/Player
(e.g. VLC etc./can also be searched/downloaded via gooogle.com or FileHippo.com)


Hope This Helps.

A dvd burner will burn anything you tell it to burn, the things is you need certain programs to see what the extension was that you burnt.EX- if you burn a DIVX file, windows media player won't see it, but it will see a WMP file.The most important thing is the burning software, makes it easy to burn boot, ISO files, video. But like I said, a DVD burner will burn anything you tell it to burn.

well first of all i advise you to install windows xp on it because 98 is really passed out and wont function the way xp and vista do.
usually when playing a video or audio file and shows curruption this means the file formats ur playing are not supported on the aplication your using.
why dont you try to update your aplication ( windows media player, xing player or whatever ur using) or install a different one.

I think you battery need to be replace. If your UPS is runing fine before the blackout. Then it should be battery problem

its not a error, your computer is just slow, try using vlc media player to play a dvd and tell me if it plays better

There are a number of reasons why a computer will bluescreen. You'll likely need to take the unit in to a qualified technician to get it fixed.

let me guess lost the PC it came with>????? other shoe drops.? let me guess need use those custom keys and don't know how. well you need that PC it was sold with. lost? this, even HP and Google can't find it, why mess with PCs this old? with PS2 cable end, why use that? and it will not work on non Compaq PC as PS2 is unique to each maker. no PC even told just found in a garage sale, for 10cents.

older Compaq day, wow. the C57 has many numbers in suffix, 57 is not just one PC. ok. why not read the service tag first and tell the full model number first. 2011 year , is not too old just 2 years before all compaqs ended, for ever. or google that code. here I will for you., and zip nada so you did not tell the story, you push the power button with main battery removed, (big bat out ,yah they SHORT) and push power for 10 seconds and release power. 1: fan silent, it must not be, this is first. 2: screen dead, no 70876817, POST code text? 3: bios hot keys dead. 4: Bios screens dead.? 5: windows login screen missing? if it is even windows at all? no beeps no flashing LED codes? repeating endless.
