Solve : Loging on the Internet? |
|
Answer» I recently had my computer reformated by Gateway (3) times to get it RIGHT. The last time finally got it right. This tech. said we should first (0) out your HD etc and then the rest of the job to do this was fine. I noticed that the light (not power light) stays on continually I do hear the clicking going on so I know that it is loading or whatever. But is this light that stays on normal? Gateway says yes it is then I told them that you mean to tell me that from when I bought the computer in 1998 ( I know the comp. is old) when the light would flicker when I would boot or when I would go to a web site it would flicker that was not supposed to do that. So, the computer was not working when I bought it? I got no real intelligent ANSWER to this. Now when I also go to the internet my password will not stay saved, well sometimes, but mostly it will not stay saved and I have to retype it a second and sometimes a third time. And then I get on the Net. My ISP said operating syss 98 are like that and they can't help me. So, what would I like done?: Fix the internet password to stay saved. Get my light to flicker if that is what it is supposed to do. Harry allthetime... On the front of your tower .......there is probably two LED lites ......One is the power on ( usually green) and the other is showing Hard drive activity......( may be Red or Amber ). This LED should only be lit when there is hard drive activity .......If it's on all the time either you have continous hard drive activity or perhaps they ( Gateway had the front wiring off for some reason and its not back correctly ) . As far as you not being ABLE to retain your password .....Do you not have the OPTION to remember password ? I assume you on a DIALUP connection . Let us know dl65 I believe I solved the light not flickering. When I had the computer formated I had some bad sectors so I had to unplug the computer and take the side off and unplug the power source to the hd. I forgot to also take off the ie cable from behind the hd also. I opened up the computer and just took out the hd for a possible repair. (can a bad sector be repaired something like a soft format?) When I booted up the light flickers again!! And...........I do not know if all this had anything to do with the internet pass word problem but so far that is working correctly!! Harry type scandisk after the msdos prompt......i would check for spyware/malware/etc.......this may be the reason for the hard drive activity.......disconnect from the net when scanning for bugs etc;) |
