etower 500is? celeron 500MHz? 32MB ram? only meant for simple word processing only. Dont waste your time with online videos or even flash or java heavy sites. Recycle it!

you can't erase the driver when it's already installed, anyway try installing realtek driver:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsCheck.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=23&PFid=23&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#AC
or you can do System Restore in Control Panel, go to Performance and Maintenance(category view) on the left select System Restore, restore computer to earlier time before you erased files.

Sounds like the power supply or the motherboard. If you have another computer available, you can test the power supply. Just "borrow" the power supply from the other computer. If it still won't come on, then the motherboard might be bad and you'll need replacement.

If you swap the power supply and the motherboard is bad, you will not hurt the working power supply. The motherboard is already dead and won't feed back to the working power supply.

Also, if you have flashed your BIOS recently and it has not completed successfully, you might have a dead motherboard and you will need to replace it. You would know if you flashed or updated your BIOS chip.

Hope this helps!

You have to format it, or to use the recovery cd that came with the pc when you bought it, load it and will bring your operating system as the day you bought it.

To get a very detailed report of your system and its expansion capabilities, download (free) Belarc Advisor and let it examine your system. Keep its report for future reference and it can also help you or a tech if trouble arises. It will tell you how many memory slots you have available total and let you know what the maximum capacity of your system is.
Belarc Advisor
You must have MS Internet Explorer available (any version 4.0 or later) since Advisor uses it to display the report.

You don't need it. This is a generic PC, any manual will do.

Your question relates to a Home Based situation???

If your e-machine is wireless capable, you can enable this feature through the network settings in the control panel. You will of course need a wireless router and it will have to be connected to a broad band connection.

alternatively, if your machine has a ethernet port (looks like a phone jack only bigger, you may want to get a ethernet cable and connect directly to your modem or router.

I hope this helps you

If you want to change the name from Administrator to something else, simply click Start - Control Panel - User Accounts and click on the accout you want to change. There you can change the name and photo that appears for your settings. If you want to add another account click on Guest Account. Hope this helps. You can also add a password.

sounds like you have a bad connection. what that is, is that your page is timing out. make sure all your cables are pluged in securely and one more thing to help is a program called "CCleaner" it cleans registry errors and cleans your internet cache. cache build up realy slows down your web browsing.

you will need to download and run the Vid Driver install program from the e-machines website.

Install an run a current and reliable antivirus software; if that does doesnt help, free up space on the hard drive. If it doenst help try re-installing operating system software. No improvement? then u might need a partial or total system upgrade.

Two methods, either use a BART PE CD to reset the administrator password as described here http://windowsitpro.com/article/articleid/93304/bartpe.html
or reinstall the Operating System.

This can be a problem depending on what version of Windows 2000 Professional is installed. If it was an OEM version, you should have been given a Operating System CD when you bought the computer as they are tied to the specific machine they came with. The Key will be on a sticker/label on the side or top of the box.

If it was a Volume Licence, then you will need to buy a replacement Operating System.

Hi,

Try to check your hard drive. Use a utility tool specially made for the manufacturer of your hard drive. Ex. Seagate Hard Drive = Seatools
Western Digital = Data Lifeguard.

Check for any errors or bad sectors on the hard drive

first identify the brand ,model,and serial number..then enter in to the web site ..

then check it is in warranty or not ,,
for seagate hard disk go to this link...

http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/warranty_&_returns_assistance

the CD Drive of your machine may need cleaning

From that error message, either your memory is bad or your operating system (Windows XP ?) has become corrupted.

Remove your memory and add one module at a time to test.

Run Windows repair. Since I'm unclear as to what you are trying to do (run install ?), you may or may not want to reinstall the OS.

Hope this helps.
