I would like to introduce Windows Password Reset Tool . it not only supports XP, 2000, and NT, I have personally tested it with Vista and windows 7. It works perfectly to reset any local user account to a blank password. I Wrote it to an 1GB USB flash drive do this. Booting up and clearing a password takes a minute or two works like a charm. You can download it from http://www.windows7password.net . It also supports cd/dvd

The original PC instructions should explain that (some have screws, and others have a way of sliding the side panel in a way that allows the panel to be unclipped from clips that may not be readily viewable.

burn it to disc on another computer and then boot to the disc on your computer and follow the directions to reset your password.

Yes, it is possible. Go to
www.4allmemory.com and they will list your needed memory, and the cost. Replcing it is very easy. Your computer takes the 'PC100' SDRAM module. and runs about $23 per 256mb with a maximum of 512mb.
Hope this helps

Take the modem out.Then start the computer,go to the device manager and start at the top of the list and right click and update drivers for each item Including the bus,then restart.

Also,If you don't really need dial up,Leave the modem out.
If you do need it,Wait until you have updated all the system devices and then put it back in.


Please rate this a fixya.

There is an easy way, and there is a hard way. The easy way requires you to get access to her computer and download Everest Home Edition. After installing the application open it up and find out if you're currently using SDRAM, DDR, DDR2, or something else. You will have to match the memory in order for it to work together.

Now for the hard way. You will need to find a way to open the computer to take a peek inside. Pop out the memory stick(s) by opening the pins holding the memory shown in this picture. Afterward look at the bottom of the memory stick(s). You're looking for the noticeable difference between DDR and SDR as depicted here.

Once again, you will need to match the memory types to ensure that they will work together. Also, please don't insert an odd (3, 5, 7, etc...) number of memory sticks (1 stick being the exception), some motherboards can't handle it.

Let us know what you find out. All the best in helping out ***********-in-Law!

You can go as big as you want. just make sure you get a hard drive that is compatible.

one quick thing, i do not understand what "i can not get it to scan anymore it freezes up" means. If you can access windows at all the hard drive isnt dead. It may be on its way out though. So go buy a new hard drive the GB size doesnt matter, you can put what ever size in it that you want.

Good luck, hope this fixedya

Intel® 82810E chipset
UATA 33/66 support
133MHz FSB, Up to PIII 1000MHz

the card may not be a Gateway product ,
look on the chip of the network card for the information written on it, and search the net for a driver for it

good luck

Basically in the way of wiring if it fits it goes there. There is nothing to jam. The picture shows PS/2 ports the one closest to the edge is the keyboard port the one next to it is for mice. Your best bet for an operating system is to purchase XP Home, you may need to upgrade your memory to keep up with XP. But price it out first it might not be cost effective.
