My 500mz IBM 300pl computer is giving me this masage i cant tart the computer

Can you please clarify further so we can understand what you did to your computer. John

If it is a password that is needed before windows OS boots, try the following.

Power off the computer, unplug the power cord (also any seperately powered devices connected to the computer. Open case; you will see a silver button battery with a diameter close to that of a nickel (BIOS battery). Note the direction the battery is oriented (positive side/negative side). Plug in computer and restart. After 30 seconds, shut down computer again, unplug power supply, reinsert battery same way it was originally oriented. Put computer case cover on, plug in computer, restart computer. No password will be required.

youve got a hardware problem over there it could be easily fixed at any computer repair shop.

The problem is that the video-player on your computer is "starving" for audio/video, because your download-speed is not fast-enough to "feed" the stream.

So, when a video starts to play, click PAUSE, and wait for the download to proceed for a while; then, click PLAY, to view the already-downloaded stream.

read up on it first then do exactly what they say.,....

Yes, the is a built in sound card on the IBM 300PL. It emulates a "sound blaster pro" card. To download the driver, click this link:

A fan that no longer works will cause a heat problem. While it may not cause a complete failure, it can cause some strange things to start happening. Your best best is to shut the PC down and remove the cover. Restart the PC an determine which fan(s) has stopped working.

At this point, you can either 1) contact IBM for a replacement fan or 2) remove the fan yourself and google the name and model number of the fan to find a direct replacement and either order online or 3) visit a local PC repair shop to buy a replacement fan that matches the defective one.

Buying direct from IBM will probably cost the most, but will be the exact type needed for your PC. Buying locally will probably be cheaper and faster, but may not be an exact replacement unless it is the same model, etc.

When calling IBM you'll need the computer model, serial number and any other identifying numbers on it for them to help you out.

HELLO, just right click your desktop, go to the settings tab and click on color quality where you will have different types of bits. note the lower your VGA card or your computer the lower the bit and vice versa

Yes you will not be abble to do anything until you remove the protection code which someone activate it. Try to remove the battery on the motherboard and then boot the computer.
