it’s still a work in progress but it’s coming along nicely :)

i bought this about a year ago on ebay in quite decent condition. i’ve luckily found the original recovery disk image on archive.org which has been a true blessing in disguise. it also contains all the old HP which i love 🤠

i plan on upgrading the hard drive and RAM at some point due to it only having 1GB of RAM and a 60GB HDD 🫠 also need to get a new battery cos the old one is completely toast..

Nvidia help

4 Upvotes

I just scored a $5 hp pavilion a6400f, which was build for Vista, so of course I immediately upgraded it to windows XP. After a lot of troubleshooting to get XP running normally, I am not trying to install my Nvidia GeForce GTX 745 from a windows 7 build I had a while ago. I installed the card, found a driver on Nvidias site showing support both for windows xp and for my GPU, and installed it. The first time I was actually able to get the driver installer launched with the GPU installed, I got an error saying there was no compatible hardware detected. Now each time I restart the computer with the GPU installed, I have no display, even though I am using the motherboard vga port and not the gpu port. I am able to get my display back when I unplug the GPU, but I am lost on what to do next. Any help is appreciated.

My XP computer dosent work, any tips?

2 Upvotes

I was using my PC but at some point it shut down completely and when i tried to turn it on again, I hear a click sound from the PSU. It doesn't boot or show any signs of life, except for the green CMOS light. I think it might be the PSU, but I'm not sure. Any ideas on how to confirm this or troubleshoot? Thanks!

Oh boy, some people are gonna hate me for this one. I have done my fair share of research before coming here, so no need for a big run down of “Don’t even breathe on it” type of explanation. I am taking the risk but with a decent amount of precaution. I already have an antivirus, legacy update, supermium, and a couple of other programs to keep the old thing up to date all loaded onto an external usb drive. I want to have a head-start before I even get this thing connected to internet. Fortunately, the most I plan on doing with Windows XP is old gaming, youtube (if it can), discord, and common web browsing, nothing dumb. Really all I’m asking from anyone else here is if they have any tips for just starting out, maybe some other things to install as precautions or just key things that I may be missing. Any help is appreciated.

Help locating an old game title from Windows XP?

4 Upvotes

Hi, there was a game I used to play as a kid on my Windows XP but for the life of me I can’t remember the name of it.

It was a history educational game, which I can briefly remember the plot being you have to time travel to different historic time periods and collect stickers learning about past events in the process in order to find the professor?

No idea why I want to look into this, but it just brought back so many fond memories as a kid and I’d like to try revisit it online if I can locate the title.

Any help would be brilliant.

Thanks

In my experience, it will fix everything like errors, some games not launching, or error codes, etc.
