I have a Winbook X4 that was given to me. The computer starts up fine and will run idle for some time. When I actually start running a program it will lock up tighter than a drum and I have to use the power button to shut it down. It will not start again for 15-20 minutes and the cycle starts...

Thanks! That was the problem.

OmegaXero, The screen that comes up has the computer name already in the name box and it can't be changed. The second computer is named "Kids" and the name being put in says kids\guest. I have the guest account turned off. Does the same thing with it turned on. I tried changing the computer...

OX, Both systems are running XP Pro. I have tried everything as far as the password goes. Leaving it blank, admin etc...Just can't get in. Steve

The DSL does require a password/username. I got the internet connected on both computers. I had to switch the modem to act as a bridge. Now both are set for automatic IP assisgnment. All is well there. Everything else works...I can connect back and forth with remote administrator, internet on...

I just tried setting up a small home network consisting of 2 computers(both running XP Pro). I have a DSL modem and a Linksys router. The problem is that I have to assign a static IP to one of the computers to get them to connect to the network. I have tried letting both assign the IP and one or...

The computer has 512Mb of RAM. I could only get at one stick becasue the other is locked away inside the case. I tried reseating the one I could and that did nothing. A memory problem was one of the first things I thought of. I even removed the one stick and tried it without it. Same thing. That...

Hi, I tried opening the case and couldn't get it. I am in the process of trying to find someone who is reputable and won't rip me off. Sending it back to Winbook is not an option right now. I have heard horror stories about the cost of their non-warranty repairs and it just isn't worth it to...

Hi, I have a Winbook X4 that is about two years old and is out of warranty. Within the past few weeks it has started to lock up on me after varying amounts of use. Once locked up, I have to do a hard shut down and when a restart is tried the power will come on, but it will do nothing. Just...

I am running win 98 and within the past few days I have noticed that IE5 will not display secure web pages. I get a message saying that the page can not be displayed. I have shecked all of the security settings and everything seems to be set at what it was before. Thanks for any help.

The drive is 7200 rpm and is supposed to be the fastest IDE drive there is. I was under the impression that I didn't need to install any drivers for this chipset in Win XP. Can anyone tell which ones I should install? Part of the chipset is AMD(North) and part is VIA(south). Thanks!

I just installed my new Western Digital 80Gb, 8Mb cache drive. I am running Win XP pro and made the drive a single partition-NTFS. It is obviously a fresh install of Win XP. I have no programs installed yet other than Sandra and performance test. The only drivers I installed were for my scanner...

I have been trying to turn off auto-complete in WinXP but can't find it. Also, what is the auto-complete file named and where is it? I want to remove all of the usernames/passwords that are in it. Thanks

I just did a fresh install of Win XP pro. What AMD/VIA drivers should I install for Epox 8K7A? Thanks
