Compaq will not read pdf documents they go to media player??
A) Does the computer have Adobe Reader on it? If so which version?B) Do you have Administrative rights (access) to this computer? The owner is the Administrator, or a computer repair person can be designated as the Administrator.The entity you borrowed the computer from may have the administrator rights, and as such YOU cannot download, and install Adobe Reader.Unless they give you rightsWindows 2011 is a Server computer software,

Installed new hard drive in compaq evo D5S..
If the new drive was a drive that is brand new, the system must initialize it first, before it can place a system on it. Also, it must be configured as either slave, if piggy back to the one installed or master if it is a replacement or on its own controller lead. Run Discmanagement to initialize the drive before formatting.
Hope that helps.
My compaq shows a red light when i put it on and
in almost all cases were there is a bad screen showing its a ram problem i dont think you burned out the ram you might have over powered it. or snapped an elit strip on it try putting the ram back in if it still isnt working then buy a new ram card and try that
best of luck

Have installed a new power supply into a compaq
Hi. Do you see the power on self test displayed in the screen (usually white letters displayed during boot up)? Do you get any error message or is the screen totally blank?
If you installed a replacement(generic) power supply, please check the wattage and ampere if same as your original one.
When I press the power switch, the green light
I'm afraid you need a new Power Supplies Unit. Just try an old trick first. Remove power cord from the back of PC. Press power button and keep it pressed for good 30 seconds. Then reconnect power cord and try to start as normal. If this don't work I'm afraid your PSU is dead. Good Luck
Non - System disk or disk error
Your computer BIOS is not recognizing your harddisk. This can be for several reasons...
1. The ribbon cable is not connected tightly to the harddrive or the onboard harddrive controller. Make sure both ends are securely fastened.
2. The power cable is not connected securely to the harddrive. Make sure it's on the drive securely.
3. Your harddrive has failed.
