Hello Tech Support Guy forums! I'm wondering if you can help me with a problem.
My girlfriend has a Compaq Presario CQ56 laptop, but the screen broke and she replaced it with a CQ57, which I guess is the next most advanced model in the line. However, the skype connection would drop after just a few minutes and then drop repeatedly afterward every couple seconds. Usually, all connected services (like AIM) would drop off too.
So here's the weird thing - she returned it and got a replacement, and the replacement is doing the same thing. The CQ56, on the same network, can keep a skype call going for hours. But the 57 drops off fast, and we've tried two different units. I thought that maybe it could be a defective laptop the first time, but twice?
Anyway, does anyone have some troubleshooting suggestions?
would you post the following when its working and then repeat all the tests when it disconnects
is this connected by wifi if so also add the xirrus tests
ipconfig /all
If you cannot access the internet with this PC, then you will need to paste the results into something like notepad and then copy onto a machine that can access the internet and post results here
We would like to see the results from ipconfig /all post back the results in a reply here
Hold the Windows key and press R, then type CMD then press Enter to open a command prompt box (A new dialogue box - black with white font, will appear on screen ):
In the command prompt window that opens, type the following command:
Note that there is a space before the /ALL, but there is NOT a space after the / in the following command.
ipconfig /all > network.txt & network.txt
It will export the results to notepad and then automatically open notepad.
Now all you need to do is copy and paste those results to a reply here
to do that:
From the notepad menu - choose Edit - Select all
all the text will be highlighted
From the notepad menu - choose Edit - Copy
Now go back to the forum - reply and then right click in the reply box and paste
Ping Tests
If you cannot access the internet with this PC, then you will need to paste the results into something like notepad and then copy onto a machine that can access the internet and post results here
Save the file to a USB flash drive or other removable media. Plug it into the working computer with internet access and copy the file and paste here.
Start> Run {search bar in Vista/W7}> CMD to open a DOS window and type:
Type the following command
Ping {plus the number thats shown against the default gateway shown in above ipconfig /all}
Post back the results
rightclick in the box
select all
control key + C key - to copy
then reply here and
control key + V to paste
Type the following command
Ping google.com
Post back the results
rightclick in the box
select all
control key + C key - to copy
then reply here and
control key + V to paste
Type the following command
Ping 18.104.22.168
post back results
rightclick in the box
select all
control key + C key - to copy
then reply here and
control key + V to paste
For your information only
these tests will check various stages of the connection, the first ping test, ping default gateway checks to see if you still have a connection to the router the next two
Ping google.com & Ping 18.104.22.168 tests the connection to internet , one by name and one by number which checks that the dns is workingClick to expand...
Run Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector
Download and install
If you cannot access the internet with this PC, then you will need to copy the program across to the faulty PC
Save the file to a USB flash drive or other removable media. Plug it into the working computer with internet access and copy the file and paste here.
Direct link to the program is here http://wpc.475a.edgecastcdn.net/00475A/XirrusWiFiInspectorSetup.1.2.0.exe
{If the above link does not work heres another link http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file_download/fid,77196-order,4/download.html}
Then run and install the program - on a wireless enabled PC/Laptop
if you get an error - You need NET Framework installed for the WiFi Inspector to function.
Run the program
A user guide is available here http://www.xirrus.com/Products/Wi-Fi-Inspector/xirruswifiinspectorguide1-2-0.aspx
post a screen shot of the program running - if there are a lot of networks showing can you click on "networks" top lefthand area - so we can see all the network information, and also post which network "Adapter Name" (1st column) is yours on the list
To post a screen shot of the active window, hold the Alt key and press the PrtScn key. Open the Windows PAINT application and Paste the screen shot. You can then use PAINT to trim to suit, and save it as a JPG format file.
To upload it to the forum, open the full reply window and use the Manage Attachments button to upload it here.
Full details are here http://library.techguy.org/wiki/TSG_Posting_a_Screenshot
For a reliable (or robust as the Xirrus user guide says) wireless connection you need a signal of about -70 dBm or better.

My sister is having major problems with her Compaq Presario CQ57 (running Windows 7). I have been trying to help her with it but, I am about to literally throw it from a very high window. I'm thinking it has a malicious program lerking inside it. I am trying to get it into safe mode and am having a hell of a time. I want to do a scan on it and I believe it is better to be i safe mode.
There is no F8 option so that is out. I tried msconfig and computer says it can't find the file,(by the way it says that to any program I try to install). Since I can't get anything to install and everything I seem to try hits a brick wall I am at a lost on what to do. Every time someone gives me some advice on how to maybe fix this I can't seem to get past the first step!!!HELP!!!! She has only had the computer for a couple of months. This is her first brand new computer and it seems she has made a very bad choice!
The Wireless has already quit working too! Buyer Beware!!! Please can someone please help me out?? I am desperate.

Hi, my laptop key fell off the keyboard, and I cannot figure out how to pop it back in. Everything looks to be in working condition, and even the white plastic components have remained on the keyboard. Unfortunately, every single time I press down on the black key, it never actually clicks on. I've come to the conclusion that there must be some unique process to re-adjusting a key on this notebook. I've searched around on keyboard websites, but their guides do not seem to directly address my situation. They usually end with just pressing down on the key, which does not work for my specific notebook, it'd seem. I'd appreciate any advice.
Hello dear, once the the key is popped out the complete keyboard needs replacement. So contact HP and tel them to replace the keyboard for you #hpexpertday

My Compaq Presario is very very slow:

I was recently given a Compaq Presario CQ57 (300 Series) by a friend running Windows 10 64 Bit. Processor - AMD E-300 APU with Radeon HD Graphics 1.30 GHz It was running very slow so I upgraded the Hard Drive to an SSD and increased the RAM to 8GB. I then did a clean install of WIN 10 64 bit. While this has improved the speed a little bit it is nowhere near as fast as I would have expected. The only software I am running at the moment is McAfee Anti-Virus and Firewall. Does anyone have any suggestions that could still be making it very sluggish. I gather that it is not possible to upgrade the processor. Thank youMore replies

The normal battery that came with the laptop is 10.8v 4090mah. However, the battery is now weak and I'm looking to replace it. But the replacement battery I found has a bigger capacity ? 6600mah 11.1v. I want to know if its safe for my laptop, because many people from Google search results said its okay if its 11.1v, and some online store sellers also said it's okay to use 11.1v replacement for a 10.8v battery.Please let me hear your opinions.More replies
I recieved a new Compaq Presario CQ57 notebook from my father-in-law who never used it. Unfortunately it had a bad hard drive right out of the box. Years had passed so no warranty. I replaced the HD with another of the same. The computer came with the disks so I thought this would be simple but alas as many things in my life things didn't go as planned. The disks supplied are the 2 disk version. The computer came with Windows 7 Home Premium installed. When starting the disks by rebooting the computer the top of the black screen says "starting Windows 98" and further down the same page it says "Error: unable to detect... ADAPI IDE CD-ROM device driver not loaded". Seems to load anyway and start up well with disk one but when it gets to the point that it asks if I have the 1 or 2 disk version I hit 2 and immediately it asks me to insert disk 2. Before doing so an error flashes up in the bottom left corner that says "no files found. Invalid drive specification". I obey and insert disk 2 but nothing happens except for flashing the same message. In a nutshell - no restore.
I've searched the net for days trying to find and answer and came up with ideas but nothing specific. I have run all the Bios tests and all come out working well. Boot order is cd/dvd room first. I downloaded a copy of Windows 7 onto an external drive but I can't get the CQ57 to read it even after changing the boot order. Also downloaded the drivers for the CD-rom but can't lo... Read more
There's surely something wrong with the message of "starting Windows 98" and having Win7 discs for it. Windows 98 is quite old and there's 2 versions, 98 and 98SE [Second Edition]. As I recall there was also an update for 98 similar to a Service Pack. There should be a multi-color sticker on the case, maybe on the bottom, that gives the version of Windows and the required Product Key, useful for determining what its origin was.5 more replies

Hello. I just recently bought a compaq presario cq57 laptop from a friend. And I was told right after I paid for it that my friend couldn't remember the password so therefore couldn't get into it. Thus I too can't get into it and am totally locked out.It barely starts to boot up after turningit on when it almost immediately goes to the screen saying/asking for a password. And every time after 3 failed attempts it says disabled and gives me a special number code to go with it. The disabled code that it gives me every time is - disabled 69374099. Is there anyone out there that can give me the real/right password to put in especially one that matches up with the disabled number code error that it keeps giving me. Thank you all very very much.

Hi, this seem to be a question doomed to be without solution, but is there a way to configure the fan settings on my Presario Windows 7 x64 Laptop? It becomes warm pretty easily and while it performs well, I've heard that it extends life-expectancy greatly with high cooler temperatures. So far I haven't found anything able to change them for this specific computer, while on my Macbook ( schoolcomputer, don't blame me!) I just needed to install a third party, change RPM and target temp and then it was done, not even a reboot needed. Im using a cooler allready. Has anyone managed to do this? Im pretty experienced with managing my PC and the system, but I'd prefer to not meddle with registry and such. Thanks in beforehand! /illirey
Hi,CPU fan speed (RPMs) are managed by BIOS based on the CPU temprature. tweaking registry may not help manage the RPM. maximum you can achieve is, manage to cook the CPU which will heatup the processor more, which will make the heatsink FAN rotate at higher RPMs. which is anyways not going to solve issues. infact it can increase the troubles. however if you see any issues caused due to heating of notebook, you may wish to follow steps below and try to reduce the heat on the PC by cleaning heatsink etc...http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01657439 Good Luck !!!!2 more replies

I have this laptop here that is, to put it mildly, SLUGGISH. General windows performance is very noticable. Meaning, you click on something for it to open up, and it could be upwards of 10 seconds or more before there is any kind of sign that your program will finally be ready to open.
Then there is internet. Internet explorer is unusable. It will display things on pages, but if you have an intention, of maybe clicking a link or maybe scrolling down, the delay in it actually doing it is well over 10 seconds usually.
It has Firefox and Chrome installed. These are working, with some lag. Normal surfing is ok for speed, even videos will play without painful lag or choppiness. But for instance, on Facebook, if a game like Candy Crush or really any of the browser based games, tires to load, it has the forever load... then poof all at once it is loaded lag going on. Then once in the game, there is severe graphic degradation and unplayable lag with clicks and drags for actual gameplay.
I have had this machine before and cleared it out of any and all infections that it had. I ran the same programs I did last time, downloaded from this site. Malwarebytes first scan did find traces of Conduit (that was all that it found), but got rid of it.

Well, you are running win 7 in the completely minimal specs, that might be one of the reasons, either way i'm sure my fellow forum members will help you reduce the load in your system somehow. I'd usually recommend an upgrade, but i don't think it's possible in your case, altough switching to Windows XP should improve your experience alot, it might just not be a good idea since it'd require wiping out win 7 and most laptops forbid that.

Got a compaq presario 3060 US. Operating system XP Pro. ATI Radeon Graphics and Soundmax sound card. Plugged head phones into it and sound stopped working with or without headphones plugged in. Reloaded XP Pro Now no sound at all. JBL speakers. Any ideas or similar experiences?
If you've done a fresh install of Windows XP Professional you will need to also install the audio drivers.
They're available from the support section of Compaq's website. Head to the support area and enter your model details to be shown the correct drivers.
I have the best luck with computers ever. My brother wanted me to format his oldschool compaq presario 5000 computer so I formatted with the win XP setup disk, when I went to restart to start installing windows after the format it takes me to a blank screen that reads:
"Couldn't open drive multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1) NTLDR: couldn't open drive multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)"
I have booted with floppy and fdisk, fdisk /mbr, formatted about a million times using FAT and NTFS file systems, I have deleted all partitions, did everythinig I can think of.
Does anyone have any idea of how I might solve this and install windows? I know the HDD isn't shot because I can put it in my other comp and actually do a full win install, but when I place it back in the compaq, it brings me to the same error screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
one more thing, I am kinda a n00b at this sorta stuff so any ideas please give me the *hold my hand* explination and guide me what to do with step by step instructions, thanks again guys!
Check in your BIOS and make sure you have the right HDD displayed. It would be best to set it to auto. Also you could try setting the BIOS back to the default values.3 more replies

Hi guys. Was wondering which processors are compatible with this intel-based board. The current processor is the Intel Celeron B800 (1.50GHz). The system will hold a pretty decent amount of memory running at a decent speed: DDR3L PC3L-12800, CL=11, Unbuffered, NON-ECC, DDR3L-1600, 1.35V Though the processor is dual core, its performance seems highly mismatched to the memory the system can handle. Does anyone know of a list or even just a couple of suggestions of processor upgrades I can swap this Celeron one out for? Thanks for any and all help in advance!

I have a Presario CQ57. It has AMD C50 Dual Core processor, 2GB RAM, running Windows 7 Home Premium. This thing is very slow. Even after a reformat and disabling unnecessary start up programs and uninstalling unwanted bundled programs, this thing runs super slow. I have had Word as the only running program and when typing, I still have to wait for the computer to catch up. What gives?

I have a Presario 4824 and it powers up sometimes and sometimes it don't. I checked all the connections, everything appears fine. I replaced the Cmos battery and still nothing. I did notice it would power up without the battery and when I tried after installing the battery, no power. I would just replace the pc, but we use it at the Battered Women's Shelter to teach them new skills and there is not enough money in the budget to replace it. Any suggestions?

Hi guys. Have a quick question.
My Compaq Presario f500, will NOT pick up a driver.
It was windows Vista, then I put on xp pro.
Files and drivers did not pick up. Alot of googleing, I did get some the drivers for alot of them.
Then I flip the machine over, where is say Service tag. I got a F551AU MODEL. tried that but still can not get a driver for UNKNOW.
In the device manager
Under Other Device these a UNKNOWN DEVICE.
The wifi works fine. In fack I'm using the wifi now.
In the device manager
Two(2) item under network adapter
Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN
NVIDIA nForce networking controller
Both are working.
I Have a feeling it had something to do with th Ethernet connection.
Thank guy and gals.
These are all the drivers required only for Xp:
Windows should pick up the rest.
Unless you have something plugged into your computer
I bought this computer... stupidly i might add... from an unnamed (because i used to work there and recommend their business) rent to own store. For the run of the mill daily family pc it had been great! Now... when i bought this pc i ran the VISTA (<--- still leaves a bad taste in my mouth!!) home basic Operating system that came on it out of the box. After upgrading the 512MB of ram to 2GB and discovering vistas ram hungry method of operation... i chose like many others to downgrade to a more stable and familiar windows xp. I of course had friends that hooked me up with XP Black, Im sure you've heard of it by now. That runs on XP pro platform and ran great with the exception of the initial gathering drivers that seemed to not be available for my pc.
As i Discovered through this adventure, my computer had been built with just enough snuff to run basic vista... uuhhhgg. Also i learned that this pc's motherboard (very simular to an asus) needed vista compatible drivers as the hardware from hp was designed for this VISTA computer. I'm not happy with hp for such attempts to hinder the "shade tree" Geeks. for stated events i had to replace the cd/rw-dvd rom combo drive because that was one driver that was unavailable, PERIOD.

I don't know if this is something that we can assist you with. If I read everything correctly,the system was running XP black, which is a pirated copy of WinXP. Now, currently you are running the machine fromn a Emachine HDD (with XPHome preinstalled) and that is also a form of piracy since you are breaking the OEM license agreement.
I am using a previously owned Presario SR1901WM and was having boot up problems. The computer would turn on go to the Compaq splash screen with function options then proceed to a black screen with a blinking cursor. After that it would just go completely black then pop up to the Compaq screen and repeat this cycle. So I arnt looking for some online help and the HP site told me to unplug my "IDE" cables. And being the complete techtard I am, I unpluged the power cables as well. Now I have plugged them back in, put the panel back on, and when I push the power button nothing happens. I think I really f*ed somthing up. PLEASE HELP!!

Hi all,
I recently began playing games again on my home pc (Compaq Presario 5660au: Windows XP, GeForce 2 (64mb), 256mb Ram, P4 1.9, 250W PSU), but noticed that every few minutes any game (including old games that used to work fine such as Castle Wolfenstien) would lag real slow and the sound would do the same, but not the music. These games were all played single player so its not a network issue. After about 10 seconds it would come good and then do it again a few minutes later, very frustrating. So here's what i did:
1. Upgraded Ram (256-->1024), which didnt help the problem (although notepad now flies on this machine)
2. Upgraded the video card from a Nvidia GeForce 2 (64mb) Compaq consumer to a Gigabyte ATI Radeon 9600 (128mb). And the graphics look so much better in any game, but still the same lagging problem as with the old setup.
These are in no particular order:
3. Tried Updating the Bios (and tried changing all the settings in bios - although compaq bios is extremely limited)
4. Changed every setting for the ATI Card to low
5. Upgraded to the latest drivers (and tried the omega drivers) - whilst uninstalling the previous ones
5. Changed every in game setting to low
6. Disabled / Enabled the sound card
7. Reformatted the HDD
8. Defragmented the HDD
9. Changed the ATI setting from 2x AGP to 4x AGP (supported by this system)
10. Probably some more that i cant remember right now
If anyone has any suggestions please help!

I'd have to guess that every few minutes some resource hog application is monopolizing a big slice of your PC.
If you are playing these games offline, then use CTL-ALT-DEL and END all the apps that you can't justify running including Virus, firewall, etc. Disconnect from the net, and play for a while. See if you still get the periodic lagging. If yes, comeback with a list of the processes that you left running. If no, then one of the ones you killed is the culprit.
Experiment with them by removing them one at a time with game play in between to test out the effect of removal until you find the bad-boy.
I have just installed a fresh Windows XP SP2 on my Compaq Presario Desktop.
I need to download the video drivers, sounds drivers, etc.
The video card is the ATI Radeon Xpress 200 Graphics Card. The corresponding driver on the HP site is
The download and extraction works fine. However, it then keeps failing with the following error.
You must be logged on as an administrator to install this update. Update has been cancelled. (9999).
There have been several postings of this nature on the web.
Ok, I have logged in as administrator (yes, I do have admin privileges), my PC has no virus, I've cleaned up the registry with TweakNowRegCleaner, and my PC has no spyware.
What else can I try?
I've seen this problem with the ATI Radeon Xpress 200 quite a bit. There's no easy fix for it that we've found at work although we usually manage to force an install after a couple of days of trying different drivers. Maybe try the drivers from the ATI website rather than the Compaq drivers?3 more replies

RAM is the much easier upgrade. I would recommend at least 4 gigs, and it will take up to 8. It takes DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM memory. CQ57-339WM seems to be your model. This is the Service Manual which you will need to swap processors: Manual The CQ57s with a Celeron processor will accept only Celeron processors. There are a couple faster Celerons available for your computer but swapping a Celeron for another Celeron just does not seem worth the effort to me. If you want the computer to run faster install 4 gigs of RAM and consider upgrading to a solid state hard drive. The speed improvement will actually be more than you would get from upgrading to a faster Celeron CPU. Post back if you want additional specific suggestions.

I recently bought a Compaq Presario 2100 laptop and I bought a 512 MB of RAM. The RAM I bought was PNY DDR333 Optima Memory and I checked with the manufacturer and it is completely compatible with my laptop. I tried to install the memory and when I went to boot up my computer a screen popped up saying that Windows failed to load. Is there a certain spot I need to put the new memory in because there are two slots. The original RAM is 256 MB. If anyone can help that would be awesome!!!
Are the slots any different from eachother?
Ive got a good old Compaq Presario SR1550NX. When i get it to run right it runs good. When i don't its a pain. I got it from a friend who said its unsalvageable but i said i wont be using it because ima rip the 200gb hdd and lightscribe Dvd burner out of it to use in a new build. so i bring it home and it boots up fine and then thinking mabey my friends an ***** it decides to freeze. so i hold the power button for 10 seconds. unplug it for a minute or 2 and plug it back in. i go through that a few times and i try to save the os(it was pirated!?)but i fail. so i install Xp home off the cd that came with my dell and it seems to be running fine now but i have had some problems which i will list.
Keyboard and/or mouse quit working or dont work
Monitor doesn't get a signal or i get a message saying invalid sync
Freezes at Bios screen(where you see Press f1 to... options)
Freezes while booting
It only shows i have 384 mb Ram(when the chip says 512)
I have flashed the bios
unplugged for several hours(not a jumper or battery i can find)
Reinstalled windows
cleaned keyboard and mouse contacts
removed all unnecessary hardware(modem, dvd drive ect.)
I do not have to save this computer but id like to turn it into a server of some sort(dns webhosting)

I've installed a XP EEE on a Compaq Presario 700ea but I'm having several problems.

More information please. Did you install XP with the CD that came with the Compaq? Normally a restore CD will have the drivers...
Whenever I boot up my Presario it does things in this order:
Starts making the fan noise
Displays the red Compaq logo
The Compaq logo gets weirdly distorted
It reboots and does it all over again!
I can't get into the BIOS or any other preferences, and I can't get to the Control Panel either. When I try to put in a recovery cd, it spits it back out and goes nuts again. Sometimes, if I leave it alone for a while (about 45 minutes- 3 hours) it lasts longer when booting and can actually get to Windows XP. Then, after about 10 minutes it reboots and goes nuts all over again. Here are my system specs:
AMD Athlon XP Processor 2000+ operating at 1.67GHz
2x 60GB Ultra DMA Hard Drive
256MB DDR SDRAM Memory
Integrated ProSavageDDR KM266 graphics with 32MB shared video memory
I know that the CMOS battery, the RAM stick, and the hard drive are OK.
What is going on with my Presario???
Well even with a dead battery and without a hard drive installed you should be able to POST and go into the BIOS. How do you know that the RAM is good though?
Sounds like it could be an overheating problem. The computer detects a high temperature and shuts down to prevent damage. In a perfect world it should shut off and stay off, but I've seen computers do an endless on/off cycle. In fact, I had a Dell that would endlessly go on and off until I yanked the power plug. You said if you leave the computer off for 1-3 hours then it'll stay on for longer. Well, the longer it's off the cooler it'll get which means the longer it can stay on before overheating.
Have you opened the case and looked inside yet? If it's dusty inside, the first thing you'd wanna do is dust it out good. Make sure all the heatsinks, fans, power supply, and all case air vents are completely clear of dust. The second thing I would check is the CPU heatsink. I'm pretty sure that CPU's heatsink has a metal retaining clip that latches onto (usually) a plastic bracket. The plastic bracket could have snapped, which would mean the heatsink isn't properly mounted anymore. That would cause the CPU to heat up to dangerous levels, which would cause the computer to shut down.
Those are the first two things I would look for and try to rule out. After that, it could be a dying power supply. Or the thermal grease could have dried out, which would mean you'd have to re... Read more
hi guys,
i recently discovered my firewall had been disabled and my computer was running slow. A few months ago, I had a google redirect virus that has not only returned, but has also caused my computer to load the system32 folder when i start my computer.
i also seem to have trouble installing programs like hijackthis, which i had to transfer from another computer.
thanks in advance!
oh and i'm running windows xp with at least service pack 2. i think i installed 3, but can't remember.
btw, there are a noticable amount of viruses present on my computer that have replaced system files, added programs that cannot be removed from the add/remove programs list, and otherwise cannot be erased/fixed by ant-virus (avg and windows defender) or by conventional methods (trying to scan and replace system files)
this isn't really a shameless "keep me on page 1 instead of 12" bump, but i assumed this information would be more vital in having someone actually look at my HJT log, as my prior complaint hadn't garnered enough reason to justify more than one view.
thanks again
A little history of the laptop: I bought the laptop used from a friends and All the keys work except "O", "L" and the period. I bought a brand new replacement keyboard and those buttons worked fine, for awhile. I finally bought a new Wwindows Vista cd and installed it on the laptop, since it was supposed to have Vista and it had XP for whatever reason. Still nothing, when I unplug the keyboard ribbon and plug it back in, the keys work for a while and then stop. Any answers are greatly appreciated.
Probably a defective or worn motherboard keyboard connector...
This computer has an ESS 1869 Audio Drive sound device installed and with the latest drivers. It originally came with Windows 95, but was upgraded to Windows 98SE a couple of years ago.
The problem seems to be with the Volume Control master slider returning to the "down" position when you close it. When the Volume Control is kept open and the master slider is kept in the "up" position, it will play sound very briefly and then fade out until you can just barely hear it.
I have checked all the Volume Control and Multimedia settings, have run the DirectX 9.0 dxdiag.exe tool, and have even even changed speakers, but I cannot resolve the problem.
I would really appreciate some assistance in this matter.
[email protected]
you can try uninstalling your sound drivers in device manager, then reboot and have windows install the sound drivers again.
If that doesn't fix the problem, I suspect you have some audio software that is controlling your sound. For instance, I had a customer once that had multiple media players installed such as Real Player, Winamp, MusicMatch. If they are all trying to access your sound files, there could be a conflict. Try uninstalling some and leave your favorite one, this may fix your problem.
If all else fails, do a restore!
Hi folks.
Great forum, full of detailed info so I hope someone can help.
I have a Compaq Presario 5650LA (it's very old) and I am trying to install Western Digital 160 GB Caviar hard drive, model - WD1600AABB. The hard drive can be seen in the bios but no matter what jumper selection I use the machine just posts (You can see the Compaq softpaq bios screen and enter it if desired) then sits with a blinking cursor in the top left of the screen.
I have swapped jumpers, ide cables, tried both channels, disconnected the CD and floppy drive, removed all extraneous cards, swapped the mem modules about, removed and reseated the BIOS battery (it was OK) and updated the BIOS to the latest version but it won't boot. I have also used another (so that's two new drives used) identical drive but it did not help. I have tried seagate, WD, etc: hard drives with no difference and all the drives are fine on another machine.
Here's the crux: When I flashed the BIOS it would not boot from it's own floppy drive, so I swapped it out but had the same problem. But, when I tried an external USB drive it booted OK and I was able to flash the BIOS. So I have a machine that will not boot from floppy or HD but will boot from CD, Hirem's boot CD, etc. Even when I tried a HD on the CD ide channel I got nothing.
If you boot with an XP cd it will find the drive and begin to install until the first reboot when the HD fails to boot again. The hard drive can also be found and t... Read more
Over the past few weeks I've been getting intermittent BSOD crashes with "unexpected IRQ" or "page fault in non-page area" errors. These were often accompanied on reboot by POST beep code 1-3-4-3, error in first 512K of base memory.
Memtest86 fails after a few passes with the unexpected IRQ error.
Replaced both internal and external OEM memory modules (Hynix 512MB PC2700S DDR 333MHz) with two PNY 1GB PC2700 333MHz modules.
Things are worse now. Getting POST beep codes of 1-4-1-1 and 3 and 2, all having to do with memory.
Questions: 1) What is the significance of "S" in PC2700S? 2) Are the internal and external modules the only memory to worry about, or is there some other motherboard memory that could be causing this? 3) Suggestions?
Thank you.
Pull the hard drive and see if the laptop tries to POST normally
I have a really old computer (1999). and I had windows xp on it after having me since 1999. but after a few months of having xp on there it fried my hard drive (bought a new one). Now I am using Windows Vista home basic on my computer and it works fine. But the problem is that I can't find any drivers neccessary that will work with my OS.
The sound card is built into the motherboard I think, it's plug and play really.
I've been searching random sites all day for these drivers but none of them really seem to work?

This laptop was recently given to a friend of mine. She was told that it would just keep freezing up or shutting off. She brought it to me to check for her because if wouldn't boot. I used a boot disk and got it booted and it seemed ok. Gave it back and she had it a wk and brought it back with problem of freezing up and then no boot. I just put HWmonitor on it and the temps are running from 62-75 C. She said it was constantly doing windows updates and the last one it wouldn't re-boot. I have a plastic think I use with my laptop that has 3 small fans on it and you put it under the laptop. I have had it on over an hour and it has gone up from 70-75 for a high. I finally got it to come up with using Chk Dsk and it did several repairs.That's all I have done with it so far. Does anyone have any suggestions? She didn't have anything with fans under it, but she had it up on a broiler pan off the table.

My compaq r3000z cto failed to boot this morning. The fans and hard drive spin up. The display only shows random pixels, no bootup text whatsoever. I have removed the hard drive, cdrom, and memory and still nothing. I press f10 to enter the CMOS setup and get no graphics there either. I am afraid it may be the system board. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks
This post belongs in "Mobile Computing" because the Compaq R3000z is a laptop computer...
regardless, it is probably the system board like you say. Heat has probably destroyed the motherboard. You could take it into a repair shop or take it apart yourself and see if you can clean the CPU cooling fan(s) and the cooling fins. It may be just a failed fan or motherboard
About 6-7 months ago I purchased a Compaq Presario F500,and a few weeks ago it started to act up. While in the middle of using it the screen would shut off(go Black).This would happen occasionally,until recently,it went black and wouldn't come back on at all.There was power to everything else.I read on HP's site to try removing the battery,and hold the power button down .This worked,but when I powered up the computer,and used it for about 15 minutes,the screen went black.I heard from a friend,who had a similar problem,that it may be the video card. Could this be true,or an overheating problem. I haven't purchased a cooling pad yet.
Sounds like your on the right track, probably is a heat problem. If you're using the computer and you notice that the fan picks up speed (you can usually hear it do so) it means that it's trying to cool itself down. Do you notice something like this happening before the screen goes dark? I highly doubt the video card itself is faulty but there's always the possibility I suppose. You would most likely see graphical anomalies on screen if that were the case.
Ok, first of all i would like to say hello to all members of TSGF!!
Ok, to start, the system that im having problems with is a Compaq Presario V5000 (whichis stated in the title). I have done all that I can possibly do to help this thing. I have followed other solutions and im still having the same problem. Here is a list of what I have done:
Reseated the Ram
Reseated the processor
Replaced the CMOS battery
Bought new RAM and used all possible combinations in both RAM modules
Removed HDD
Replaced HDD
Formated HDD
Bought new battery and AC Adapter
Reapplied thermal paste to processor
I have done all of the above and the problem still continues to happen. What it does is, I will start the laptop. All the lights will come on, But nothing appears on the screen for about 15 minutes. When the COMPAQ logo finally appears, I go to setup. This is where I will start having problems. I cant really do to much of anything here. The laptop will freeze with a whole bunch of artifacts all over the screen. There is nothing wrong with the HDD, RAM, CPU, LCD, or DVD drive. I dont think its the motherboard. Sometimes it will boot my XP cd and it will begin the installation, then freeze . I really dont know what to do anymore. Please help me, any attempts will be greatly appreciated.
I have worked on many V5000s. Good solid machines. Try this:
1. Unplug. Remove the main battery and CMOS battery. Wait 15 minutes. Reinstall the CMOS battery.
2. Remove HDD, DVD, one memory module. Unplug the touch pad (small ribbon conn under KB). Connect AC adapter. Boot to DOS with an external USB floppy. Twist the case gently. Press on the MB. Does the machine work normally? Keep it on for 30 minutes.
If YES, add back the touch pad, memory, DVD and HDD one at a time. Repeat the tests. If the machine dies, yiu have probably found the bad module.
If NO, you most likely have a bad MB. It is much cheaper to replace the MB with a good used one from Ebay than mess with the bad MB. There are several part numbers that will work. Just match your model category -Intel FF or DF and AMD FF or DF. ( FF = Full Featured and DF = Defeatured.)
Good luck.
My friend has a Compaq Presario with Windows XP and a pile of programs on it. Mainly all came from the boot disk.

Well I got as far as installing XP and got an error, and it says.............Fatal Error,,,,An error has been encountered that prevents setup from continuing. Setup failed to install the product catalogs. This is a fatal error. The setup logs should contain more information. The signature for Win XP Home edition upgrade is invalid. The error code is fffffdee. The system cannot find message text for Oxfffffdee in the message file for sysselap.dll.

Repairing a COMPAQ Presario running Vista Basic.
My problems are that the OS wont boot fully, it stops and then freezes.
Then on restart BIOS will run through and give me a choice to repair or boot normally in which I select repair which then runs through until it gets to
!! 0xc0190036 !! 3005/67034 (icardagt.exe)
Here it stops and blinks the text infinitely.
I would provide an HJT log but I can't even get in to do that.
Considering that I can get the BIOS to go through I'm assuming software but if anyone has any ideas that it may be hardware please share. The only hardware that I believe would be a problem at the moment would be the HDD, however it ran efficiently when I was extracting data from it.
Any help regarding this would be appreciated

EDIT: The most recent time I plugged it in the fan started making this horrible noise (sort of like a high-pitched motor running at top speed combined with screaming).

The screen on my Compaq is starting to come thru scrambled. This happens all the time. Tilting the screen back and forth will sometimes correct the problem. However, I can only have it about 80 degrees to the keyboard which makes for a sore neck. Does anyone have any solutions? Thanks, Ray
Sounds like the flexible connector between the screen and motherboard has given up, probably with use?
It would need disassembly and replacement of the flexible mylar circuit. Could possibly just be a connection issue at one end or the other, which still requires disassembly.
Working on a laptop is akin to microsurgery, it is very easy to do damage if untrained.
Hi all. I'm new here but not what you would call new to computers. I have a Compaq Presarion laptop sitting behind me that is giving me fits! A friend of mine got it as a gift. Its got a 1.5 ghz celeron processor, 256 mb of ram, and a 40 gig hard drive.
Here's the problem. When he got it, windows was corrupted and wouldn't boot to windows without a ton of error messages. He told me to wipe the drive clean and re-install XP. He handed me a fresh, recently purchased version of Win XP home and told me to do away with HP's proprietary version of XP. I figured, easy enough. I've done this kind of thing many times with many older computers.
Well, here's the problem. It won't let me do a full format from the XP CD during the first few pages of setup. I can do a quick format of the drive and continue on. However, during setup, I get errors. I've formatted and reinstalled the OS several different times, not always getting the same error message. I completed the install once (with errors) and when I got to the desktop, there was no start button or system clock .... or even the usual recycle bin icon. Nothing was there .... I could ctrl+alt+delete to reboot, but that was the only way to shut the system down.
What is different about these compaq presario notebooks. How can you do a low level format .... or a full format for that matter. How can you get it to take a regular microsoft version of windows XP? I've already wasted countless hours fighting with this laptop.
Bump ... there appears to be no pattern to the errors I'm experiencing. Can anyone help?7 more replies
I am new to forum. Spent some time the last couple of days trying to get my daughter's Compaq Presario 6330us working. Machine came with two CD/DVD drives, a floppy drive, and a Maxtor 60GB hard drive.
She was not able to boot XP from her hard drive. Her boyfriend had previously tried to recover from recovery CDs, but with no luck. I tried installing a new hard drive (Seagate 160GB) with new one as primary master and old one as primary slave. That didn't work. Didn't recognize either drive. Then took out old drive and used new drive only. Was then able to recover the system. Worked fine for a few hours.
Tried using it later the same day. It had gone to sleep after I thought I had it fixed and reinstalled a lot of her software. When Itried to wake it up, the system froze. Upon reboot, system was no longer recognizing the new drive. It wouldn't let me do another recovery since it can't find a hard drive to recover to. Just keep getting Boot Failure message. Tried new IDE cabling but didn't help. The BIOS is just not detecting the hard drive. Recognizes the 2 CD/DVD drives and floppy drive fine.
I suspect the IDE controller for the hard drive(s) is bad. Can I just install a new card with a new controller rather than repalcing motherboard? Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Anything you do with a Presario 6330 is likely to be trouble and disappointment.
I would replace the EIDE cables, then download all the patches, BIOS, and other drivers and downloads from the www.hp.com site for Presario 6330US. Obtain a copy of WXP Service Pack 2 from Microsoft just in case you can use it ($3.95 from Microsoft).
Give it your best shot with the BIOS and Patch... if it still doesn't detect the drive, consider this an opportunity to get something decent. If it does detect, reformat and reinstall everything, then the entire download set, then run the Windows Service Pack 2 disc. You should then be ok.
This computer has been almost as much trouble as the eMachines desktops, and the failures are too often not fixable.
If money is a problem, take a look at www.pcsurplusonline.com and others that have ruggedized used Dells and IBMs... better than a cheap new one... although you will have to find Windows somewhere.
Hi i have a compaq presario 700 the problem with it is everytime i go to install xp,or 2000 on it it always has errors like for example after u format it , it goes to copying istallation files and it will stop at some like this " Setup Cannot Copy File: Modem.sys " .to retry, press enter " and when u press enter same thin i tried changeing disks same thing the dvd drive gets so hott i think it may be gettin overheating but it installs 98 fine when this model is design for xp i dont understand.

I'm having sound problems on my old Compaq Presario 1255 laptop computer. A friend had sent a music file over AIM for me to listen to and I was trying to listen to it, but all I got was static.
Can anyone give me a suggestion? I'll go turn that computer on so I can use it via my networking setup and then I can try any fixes or ideas you can give me. I tried looking for a new integrated sound driver, but so far no luck.
Thanks to anyone who can help me!
Do you get this static sound all the time? or just with that one file? What type of file is it?
my realtek hd sound device is not working. my computer shows it installed in the control panel but it says no sound device installed. I get error code 10 device can not start. It was working fine until my computer did its automatic update now this. I have contacted the company with no answer and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the device driver from the realtek website four times and the issue is still present. when i trouble shoot the computer says that the problem was not resolved. What else can I do? Is there another sound device that I can use? I have a compaq presario cq 57 windows 7 64 bit operating system.
Get the audio driver for the compaq presario cq57 series here - http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsuppor...Id=321957&prodCatId=82710&prodSubCatId=212728 Drivers available for the compaq presario cq57-100 / compaq presario cq57-200 / compaq presario cq57-300 and the compaq presario cq57-400 series comps

(this is an extract from Fairylands: their Rise and Fall by Gideon the Good (self-declared))
It's natural for parents to want the best for their spawn. There you are, holding your slimy little successor and imagining what he/she will do in life: a sporting god, a life-saving medic, a nerdy genius of a mathematician. The list might almost be endless; well unless you live in Madrigal, a binary fairyland. There you fall into one of two categories: Royal or Common. Which will mean: cake or bread; money or grinding poverty; permanent leisure or unremitting toil. Unlike some systems this categorization doesn't happen at birth but on your 18th birthday. The night before, you are sent to bed with eye patches on. In the morning, you take them off and check the mirror: sparkling blue and it's a sparkling future; rheumy red and it's relentless rubbish. Some try and check early but before the clock strikes 12 you'll still have the adolescent rainbow. It makes no difference. The Iris Lord decides and pretty much that's it.
Like every system there are those who rail against it. Who perceive unfairness in the arbitrary way this lottery works. Usually they come from the red-eyed rabble but some enlightened Blues have been known to stop eating cake and nod in the direction of a few more royals. But no more. There are tensions in fairyland.
Madrigal likes to move with the times. Not necessarily keeping up but moving a few paces behind other societies. The advent of video games as a new leisure activity was welcomed by an increasingly bored coterie of Blue Bloods but at some cost to the regal eyesight. A selection of opticians was dispatched to find some way of improving the sight of the Beautiful Few. Their solution was contacts. Perfect, they thought, save that some of the vainest of the Court complained the new enhancements shaved a couple of microns off the iridescence of the royal eyes.
More research and the answer came back; blue lenses. Oh dear; the law of unintended consequences. Now the Common have stopped working; instead of tilling the earth and reaping the corn they spend their days hunting for any lost lens and an entrée into the life of luxury they desire. From cake shortages to catastrophe in four weeks.
This is in response to Jane Doughtery's latest #microfiction prompt picture, above

Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage is a side-scrolling beat 'em up game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Mega Drive/Genesis, developed by Software Creations and published by Acclaim Entertainment and its subsidiary LJN in 1994. The game, based on the comic book story arc of the same name, features numerous heroes, including Spider-Man, Venom, and their allies from the Marvel Comics fictional universe like Captain America, Black Cat, Iron Fist, Cloak and Dagger, Deathlok, Morbius and Firestar, all teaming up to battle an onslaught of villains led by Carnage, including Shriek, Doppelganger, Demogoblin and Carrion.[1]
The first prints of the game for the Super NES and Genesis were sold in red-colored cartridges. Later prints came in standard-colored cartridges. It was followed up by a sequel titled Venom/Spider-Man: Separation Anxiety.

This almost starts with "Once upon a time ..."
This almost starts with "Once upon a time ..."
Last edited by Eric Johnson; 05-09-2016 at 07:52 PM. Reason: Moved after chastized by another member
Now the question. Wouldn't it be better to ask this in the application server area rather than the desktop area?
There can be only one.
Gosh ... since the question applies to V11 Desktop but the V10 Server, which should it be put in? Wouldn't want to make a second mistake.
This almost starts with "Once upon a time ..."
For several years I've owned a public database dedicated to a breed of dog. It was programmed by another individual (developer) using SQL Server and then maintained by another. I put together the functional description of what the maintainer needed to do and provided the support for the some 1200 users.
My health is no longer the greatest and I advance in years. I found a person doing much the same thing for two other breeds. She and I came to an understanding that she would absorb the data records for my breed into her database. I would continue to provide support as the administrator. (As an aside, the database now has almost 750,000 records.) However, I will not have access at the server level to the records as I had before. That's fine and I fully understand the need to keep my little fingers out of the pie.
However, I had used A5V11 to write SQL queries in the "old days" when I needed to get data in an out of the ordinary fashion. She's agreed that if I ship her the text of a query, she'll run it.
Now the question. I have the A5V10 Application Server. I also have the "database dictionary" for the database. Can I use the A5V10 Server on my machine to generate these queries? Also, where do I put the database dictionary? Finally, can anyone see any easier method to get what I'm trying to get, SQL Queries for a database I can no longer access.
Must be my failing. I didn't see how that applied to the desktop.Can I use the A5V10 Server on my machine to generate these queries?
There can be only one.
You have the option depending what you want to do.
You can do your queries in the database or with xbasic.
Just like triggers and field rules.
You can even access the sql if it is sitting on a web sever too as long as the server allows it.
One question I have is why sql on a desktop??
Dave Mason
Skype is dave.mason46
Hi Eric,
What do you mean by the "database dictionary" ? Is it an empty database, or just the table and view definitions?
If that is what you mean, the trick is to install Sql server express on your server, or a local windows computer, and run the queries against that model database
Making the actual queries is best done in Sql server management studio, or Navicat, or some other free tool, then you can send the query to the DBA and have her run it
You could also just ask for a regular login account for that database only, just with select permissions, Sql Server is fully capable of supporting that.
few observation to clear out first:can anyone see any easier method to get what I'm trying to get, SQL Queries for a database I can no longer access.
you used version 11 to generate sql queries in the old days, but now have version 10 server. confusing. you don't need alpha to generate sql query. may be that is what you found it easy. but the versions mentioned are not the same. you do need same version server and development to work together if you still want to generate the queries and then ship them to her.
if you have the copy of the sql then you don't need to access the real server as long as the structure remains the same, generate the query here and send it out.
if you do not have the copy all they have to do she can dump the database for you to reconstruct on your end then make the queries and ship it out.
but finally why still involved with the support. you have given the responsibility to someone. I am sure you trust her otherwise you will not have given to her. that is what is expected of anyone. then walk away. in long run you will be happy, and your 1200 or so subscribers.

No. I have Ver 11 on my desktop. I used it to query the database using V11 generated queries. That possibility is gone because I no longer can access the database directly using SQL.
I have the Ver 10 Application Server from my purchase of Ver 10 products.
I know how the database is formed as I have the file(s) containing the field names, field types, and sizes ... the dictionary.
Now, how do I generate an SQL Query that the database owner can execute and then send the results to me.
I will take that results file and import it into the database structure and then I can do what ever needs to be done.
For instance. Apparently in the conversion, a field value was changed from a "U" to a "C" meaning "Unknown" and "Carrier". Since this is a genetic test, the results are quite important. I need to find all instances of this and tell her how to fix them. (How I'll find them is unimportant to this discussion.)
While I really like the idea of limited access to the database, I'm new to her but not the data and she's new to both the data and to me. We're taking baby steps for right now.
try this if you have some database where you can practice
UPDATE table_name SET field_name = "U" where field_name = "C";
and run the query. if this is good ship that to her.
this will convert all occurrences of "C" to "U".

I realize that I can write them from scratch and most likely would do this for simple ones.
The more complex cases worry me. The case I gave was merely to offer an example.
First of all you should not use Alpha application server or Alpha Developer to make Sql Queries, the proper toll for this is Sql Server Management studio, which is free, or Navicat or similar.
I would start by installing Sql server Express on your local pc, it runs fine there and is a free download from Microsoft
Next create a new database and the run all the DDL scripts you have to create the database tables etc.
Then you can easily create the correct query to update the remote database.
Having said that, I would really suggest to get the DBA for the remote database to grant you remote access, that will take him / her 5 minutes max. And it will make your tgask much easier.
If they don't like the idea of having port 1433 open on the internet, either change it or use a vpn connection, or something like RdgGuard to block illegal login attempts, or make a firewall rule for your Ip.
I have the SSMS. In the past (when I owned the subject database), I used A5 and SSMS in concert to run queries and post mass updates to the database. I'm fully comfortable with this but how will I configure the connection string when I'm not allowed to execute the query? The database is now under new ownership and the new owner is unwilling to give me direct access to it. The problem is that while my portion of the database is 35,000+ records, this is only 5% of the total and she's being cautious about access.
the connection string will expose all the records. would you be willing to share your database connection with anyone?, did you ? it is not question that you are dependable trustworthy or not. it is the question of safety and safeguard the information. you mentioned the database has grown to 750000 records, if your portion is just 35000 then she has to report 715000 other record related individuals that their information is accessible by another person without their consent.The problem is that while my portion of the database is 35,000+ records, this is only 5% of the total and she's being cautious about access.
it is not going to happen, if it were me.
as I mentioned earlier, it is wise to let it go. in a long run both parities will be happy. baby steps or not, these are not good steps.

All I want is to be able to send her a constructed query. For that I need two things, a copy of the table and a connection string of some kind. I realize that she is unlikely to provide the real connection string due to risk of exposure. I merely need to find a place where I can create one.
Thus, such a site would have the empty table and be accessible by the string. If you are saying that such is not possible, fine. I candidly did not think such was possible but I thought I'd ask. Instead, I'll just write my requirements in English and let her make up the query.
here is something for you to try, if successful then you are good to go.
ask her if she can give you the current sqlquery. since the data definition may have changed since you gave her the database.
if she uses management studio then she has to generate script and select all database objects and tables. that will generate table structures but not any data.( i think)
then you can execute the sqlqry statement in your management studio to reconstruct the database sans data.
then you can create any query against the empty database then ship the query to her. if data needed you can fake it to show how it looks.

If you know SSMS then you don't need a connection string or Alpha Anywhere
Just open the database in SSMS and construct the query according to requirements, and send her the SQL query, that's all there is to it.
If you just query 1 table table, it will not matter that there may be changes in the table structure, should you reference unknown columns, she (Or her DBA) will just remove the columns.
Making a complete dump of the table structure will give you an empty database to check, but no data, any DBA can create those scripts in 10 minutes
In order to check the differences to your own copy of the database, there are several commercial tools that can do that, I use this one, SQLDBDiff 4.1
Hope you find a solution

Clegg's share plan just doesn't stack up
On the face of it, Nick Clegg's idea for everyone on the National Insurance register to receive shares in RBS and Lloyds, is a good one. The government owns 83% of RBS and 41% of Lloyds. Why not allow those who invested in these failing institutions a piece of the action?
As soon as you examine the idea you realise the folly. First of all, if shares were to be handed out, we would not receive any benefit until the government had received a return on its investment. Second how would you distribute those shares?
It would need some kind of mega IT project. And let's face it; the government doesn't have the best track record in this arena.
Just look at the Olympic Ticket fiasco and multiply that by ten! Then there's the argument of "fairness" over which Nick Clegg is so keen to argue. What's fair about giving shares to everyone? Just because the government acted on our behalf, that doesn't mean we are all in this together.
Surely those who pay most tax should receive most shares? What about the shareholders (particularly in Lloyds) who, as a result of the previous government's actions, got a pasting?
What about the employees who are working very hard to ensure these two banks get back on their feet? What about the customers who are facing higher charges and in some areas lower levels of service as a result of the bailouts?
In effect, if the government were to do some kind of deep discount to inject more capital into the banks with some kind of secondary share sell-off, that might make sense. I am all for wider share ownership but not if it takes the form of an expensive and somewhat hollow political gesture.
As soon as you start to unravel this proposal, the more ludicrous it becomes. Expensive, unmanageable, tax inefficient, unfair and as a result of it all, would we be any better off? Probably not.

Pederson has Reich's vote for Coach of the Year
There is no shortage of coach-of-the-year candidates in this, another upside down NFL season.
There are 11 teams with six or more victories, the Eagles leading the way with an 8-1 mark. Seven of those teams didn't make the playoffs last year, the list composed of the Birds, Rams (7-2), Vikings (7-2), Saints (7-2), Panthers (7-3), Jaguars (6-3) and Titans (6-3).
That makes for a lot of worthy candidates.
Frank Reich obviously is biased. But he makes a solid case for Philly head coach Doug Pederson, who he "absolutely" feels has earned his place at the table.
"We'll see at the end of the year but certainly at this point, look at the record of our team," Reich said. "Look at the job that Doug has done in every facet from being the play caller, to being the primary leader on our team. You can't say enough about it. I just think that speaks to the quality of his work and the quality of who he is as a person. He deserves
whatever attention he's getting right now. It is well deserved."
The good news for Pederson and the Eagles is that under the modern playoff format, at least four teams have made the postseason the year after they missed it.
The more sobering news is that the Eagles are one of two red hot teams sporting sevengame win streaks. The other is the Saints, who started 0-2. The only other team to win seven in a row after losing the first two games of the season is the 1993 Cowboys, who went on to win the Super Bowl.
Pederson, just the same, hasn't done anything wrong since failing to run the ball in the loss to the Chiefs in Week 2.
"We, as a coaching staff and I believe the players feel this is a guy you want to follow because you believe in him," Reich said. "His integrity is impeccable. His work ethic is second to none. He's just the kind of guy you like working for."
••• The Eagles have seen enough of offensive tackle Taylor Hart, the converted defensive end, to cut him in favor of journeyman tackle Will Beatty, not to be confused with Ned Beatty.
Beatty (6-6, 319) hasn't seen action since 2016, when he appeared in six games for the Giants. He started in four straight seasons for the Giants, who took him off the board late in the second round of the 2009 draft.
Hart practiced for one week but was deactivated on game day.
••• Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz wouldn't commit to playing Ronald Darby this weekend, which was not the way the cornerback represented his return to action after being shelved with a dislocated ankle in the season opener.
Just the same, Schwartz conceded that when Darby returns he would likely perform at left cornerback, where Eagles interceptions co-leader Jalen Mills (three picks) has played remarkably well. Mills would move to the other side.
Darby also has been getting snaps on the right side, per Schwartz.
"Those guys can all play both positions," Schwartz said. "They can all play both sides. I think that's important. Again, this is further on down the line. But if we get in positions where we want to match a receiver, he has the ability to do that."
Schwartz also confirmed the obvious – newly signed veteranlinebackerDannellEllerbe wouldcompetewithJoeWalker for snaps in the middle.
The soon-to-be 32-yearold old Ellerbe (6-1, 236) also could help in sub-packages.
"He hasn't been on the field for a pretty long time, so there's a semblance of getting back in football shape," Schwartz said. "We'll let that play out and see where it goes. But it's good to have a veteran player there that has a lot of experience, and he's got both of those. … I think we'll start him probably learning all three positions. Then also the nickel and the nickel SAM position, and we'll see where it goes."

••• NOTES: The Eagles lead the NFL with 32 touchdowns. Ertz tops the squad with six TDs. Nelson Agholor and Alshon Jeffery have five apiece … Only the Rams (32.9 points) average more points per game than the Eagles, who put up 31.4 weekly … Dating to last season, the Eagles have scored 20 or more points in 13 straight games, the longest active streak of any team in the league … The Eagles have won two of the last three games versus the Cowboys, who won in overtime last year at AT&T Stadium. The Birds are threepoint favorites Sunday night … Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence leads the league with a career-best 11 ½ sacks. Teammate David Irving has 6 sacks in his last five games, four of them at AT&T Stadium … Referee Bill Vinovich and his crew officiating the game. In essence, that means no funny business.
