Windows 98 laptop

I mistakenly added Windows XP to an old Hp N3390 Laptop.  My original disks are MIA.  I need to know which Windows 98 SE version I should repurchase to Make this computer operate again.  For its age, it is in good shape, but the hard drive is too small for XP.

    Usually it goes to the last folder used or the folder the current PDF was opened from (I am getting the latter in my current Acrobat). If you want a different folder, you will have to go through the tree to your desired folder process.

    how can i use my apple ID with the itune store over my windows laptop

    If you don't have iTunes installed on your laptop then you can download and install it from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    You can then log into your account on it via the Store > Sign In menu option (on iTunes 11 on a PC you can get the menus to show via control-B) :
    And you can then select the Store on the left-hand sidebar (you can enable the sidebar via control-S), and then browse items in the store and buy them by clickin on their price.

  • HP officejet Pro 8100 will print from an Iphone but not from my windows laptop

    HP officejet Pro 8100 will print from an Iphone but not from my windows laptop. I get an error stating "unable to communicate with printer"

    Hi Melatina66,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I understand that when trying to print from your laptop that you get a communication error message.
    To better assist you, would you please provide some further information:
    1)       How is the printer connected (USB cable, ethernet or wireless)?
    2)      When you installed the printer on your laptop did you set it up with a USB cable?  If  yes, did you switch the connection type on the laptop from USB cable to ethernet/wireless?
    3)      What version of Windows operating system are you running on the laptop (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8, etc)?
    4)      When printing from your iPhone are you using Apple's AirPrint or HP's ePrint app?
    Thank you.

  • Can i use a hdmi to mini display port cable to use my iMac as external monitor for a windows laptop?

    Does anyone know if a hdmi to mini display port cable can be used to link a  windows laptop with an 27 inch iMac to use the iMac as an external monitor. Or are there other options to connect my DELL latitude 6430?

    Is the 3.5mm-to-optical cable any better than using a standard 3.5mm?  I don't know too much about this stuff.  My thought process was that if the source of the connection is a 3.5mm jack, does it make a difference using a cable that starts as a 3.5 and converts to optical?
    Chances are excellent that if your receiver is less than 20 years old it has an optical input, this is a digital signal which will sound MUCH MUCH better than using an analog 3.5MM to 3.5MM connection. I recommend using the cable suggested or one with the same connections but of a different length if your needs warrant it.

  • IMac wont boot after file transfer from Windows laptop

    Hi folks,
    I am looking for some advice if anyone can help?
    Sunday evening I transferred asome data off an old knackered Windows laptop via my home network. During the transfer, my 2013 iMac 27" started to really slow down and became unresponsive (i tried to cancel the data transfer and restart). In the end I have to force shut down by holding the power button in. Now, upon reboot of the machine, it won't get passed half way of the progress bar - and I've left it an hour at the most and given up.
    I have attempted a verify and repair in Disk Utility, and even though I have managed to Verify Disk and Repair Disk, they took an absolute age to get through - I was chatting to an Apple Customer Care person, and they told me to chat back once it was done, which was probably 20-30mins after I started.
    I then went on to Verify Disk Permission, which I left running for around 2 hours until it finished, and then moved onto Repair Disk Permissions, of which I cancelled after about 4 hours worth of it doing not a lot!
    When I try and boot, it gets to a stage where the hdd is making a repetitive noise, as if it is stuck in a loop somehow.
    I am running Yosemite 10.10.1, and have reset the PRAM to no avail.
    I am fearing the worst tbh, but my main concern is the data on the drive - any tips on how to attempt to recover that data - or to fix the drive itself?
    Thanks
    Andy

    The correct way to restart in Safe Mode is when you hear the "Bong" sound hold down and continue to hold down the Shift key until a progress bar appears. Here are Apple's instructions on how to correctly restart in Safe Mode.
    I would recommend that you also look over Gray screen appears during startup.

    I'm using ezcap.tv 116 ezgamer capture card to record my PS3, this is on a windows laptop, Im then moving the recorded videos in mpg format over to my MacBook Pro to use IMovie to edit them so i can upload them to youtube but it won't let me import them, even after changeing them to MP4 format, it just comes up with the message: "No Importable Files None of the selected files or folders can be imported. Change the selection and try again."
    Ive even tried opening in itunes and copying from thier but they wont open in Itunes, no message or anything they simple just dont open. its strange because it does open in quicktime player.
    please if anyone has any ideas that can help me please let me know XD thanks.

    First problem: You're fine. The hotter it gets, the more the fans spin up. The computer is designed so that at max load, at max fan speed, it won't overheat (unless it's obstructed by something, e.g. sitting on your bed swallowed by a comforter). It's not the best thing to keep it that toasty for days at a time, but a couple hours at a time shouldn't be a problem.
    Second problem: If something in the trash won't delete, just use Secure Empty Trash and it should be fine. Since .torrent files are quite small, it should only take a couple seconds.

    Can anyone assist me with this issue?
    Thanks

    To downgrade, you'll need to download the previous software version here: ATV3 http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4361.20120605.grjot/AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
    ATV2: http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/041-4362.20120605.t8i4U/AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830 _Restore.ipsw
    Next, plug the Apple TV into your computer with a micro-usb cable (most phones today use these) and start up Itunes. It should detect the Apple TV in recovery.
    After that, hold down Option on Apple or Alt on Windows and click Restore. This should open a window that allows you to select the software update you want to apply. Select the one you downloaded earlier.
    It will then go through the restore process, which takes only a few minutes, and then you will be able to plug the Apple TV back in to your display and set it up again.
    I recently ran into a similar issue with a bunch of these things and after restoring them all to the previous software version they are working again.

  • Using my windows laptop with my new Airport Etreme base station

    I've just recently connected the Airport Extreme to my iMAC G4. I understand that it should work with my Windows laptop. I've set up the base station and do have a connection on my laptop with excellent "signal strength" and the speed, at best, is 54.0Mbps, although it's usually at 18.
    I'm not getting internet on my laptop. Of course the whole idea of purchasing the AX was to use the laptop at home also. Previously I had a netgear and it worked fine, speed wise... until it crapped out for some reason.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,

    iMac G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Just in case anyone is following this...
    After speaking with my isp and getting to the purple.com website but no other one I was told by the man on the phone my problem must be a resource issue with my laptop. I said that wasn't possible as I already went into msconfig and unchecked almost everything in the startup tab.
    So I tried to connect the laptop directly to the modem and I was able to surf the internet without a problem. So, as thought in the beginning, there's some setting somewhere in regards to the Airport Extreme that's not correct...

    With all you media (apps, music) in the iTunes library connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup. Do that by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Then restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note the the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.
