Make your Vista recovery cd/DVDs if you have not yet discovered it here

Your model should ICH9 sata driver sliptreamed in the installer CD of XP. If you did it right, you'll BSOD error.

Use Nlite to sliptream ICH9 sata driver.
A good guide for driver sata sliptream, here

Note: do NOT use this guide sata driver, your sata driver is below ICH9.

ICH9 sata driver,

The pilot lies in iaAHCI.inf and is called ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller, here

Download nLite, here

Some suggestions to avoid problems when installing XP:

1 try NOT all wake sata drivers, use only ICH9--> ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller

2. use of XP - SP2, much easier to use since many XP drivers were built based on XP - SP2.

3 burn the installer of XP slowly and do not use the maximum speed, sometimes it create errors

4. choose a reputable support CD, not the one at little cost.

    Go into Device Manager, expand graphic cards by clicking the triangle to the left of the device. Windows 7 snipping tool to capture screen and post it here. Once you have done this, we will be able to see what is installed as your graphics card. You can also use the DXDIAG command in a command-line window to know who.

    It's the Windows 7 (64-bit) version of the driver

    This is the version of Windows 7 (32 bit)

  • Compaq presario Cq40 604 - tx: when the driver for windows 10 will be available for compaq presario Cq40 604 - tx?

    I want to improve my windows 7 to windows 10 but the windows 10 driver is not available for my computer compaq presario cq40 604 - tx.when driver windows 10 laptop will be available for this laptop?

    I think that HP has released/posted drivers for all models that will be supported. All have support do not at this stage are not likely to see them.

    Windows 10 includes a large number of drivers for the hardware older - but no way to know for sure before the upgrade. I'd certainly do Windows 7 recovery discs before you perform the upgrade.

  • Improving RAM for Compaq Presario CQ40 - 144TU

    Hi team,

    I use a laptop Compaq Presario CQ40 - 144TU, Windows 7 32 bit. I want to upgrade RAM. But I don't know exactly what kind of RAM is suitable and the range of the RAM expansion (with the specification if possible). Please help me.

    I have attached the image of my report of PC "crucial.com.

    Is it possible for me to upgrade to 8 GB.

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards

    Santini

    Hello

    From the Crucial scan your machine accepts 8 GB of RAM and currently there only 2 GB in a slot, another beach is empty. Now, if you want to:

    (a) be upgraded to 4 GB if you want to keep the OS, you have to buy the 2 GB of Crucial, 32-bit

    (b) if you want to switch to 8 GB, no point (sorry my typos on my previous answer) to maintain 32-bit Windows. You can buy 2 x 4 GB, you also need 64-bit operating system and 32-bit to 64-bit are a clean install, not upgrade.

    Kind regards.

  • which processors can take a motherboard supported very 4101p (494035-001) jal50 used on compaq presario cq40?

    I have a compaq presario cq40-142tu, with a celeron t1600 installed. I want to replace this with a faster processor but can't find a site that lists all the processors that are compatible with the motherboard, which is a worm of 4101P jal50 1 or 494035-001.  as the celeron t1600 has a front side bus at 667 mhz, I guess procies upgrade as possible would be a t7600 to better or at least a t5500, since these procies run at the fsb even.  any advice on where to find a list of processors supported for this motherboard would be much appreciated.

    It took some time, but I finally got my hands on a t5850.  Installed and it works like a charm! a celeron t1600 it is now on a core 2 duo procie.  also improved the hard disk in the series hitachi 160 GB 5400 RPM to a 640 GB 7200 RPM samsung. also changed the RAM of 2 GB (1x2Go) tech of micron for gskill 4 GB (2x2gb) RAM.  OS is win 7 ultimate 64-bit, standard was vista 32.  one thing I noticed, though. the Rams are running at 667 mhz even though they are valued at 800, and I have absolutely no idea on how to change this. Publication of the research on some more and I think that the jury can also support 800 mhz fsb procies, might try that also later on. So far I am very satisfied with the improvement. Oh, to be on the safe side, be sure to upgrade to the latest version of the bios. mine was initially f.14, not f66a. problem solved!

  • New on Mac w/purchase of Pro. You want to run Windows applications. 8 vs 10?

    New on Mac w/purchase of Pro. You want to run Windows applications. 8 against 10 using virtualization?

    The two big names of virtualization are Parallels and VMware. They have a sort of leap-frogging each other in terms of features. Parallels has a fairly seamless integration between Mac and Windows.

    Your Mac is also already comes with Boot Camp, which lets you install Windows on a separate partition.

  • I have Vista Home premium and you want to install Windows Defender, but however get the 08x800106ba error message.

    I have Vista Home Premium sp2 and you want to install Windows Defender, but however Gets the 08x800106ba error message.

    Where should I go from here

    Hello

    You cannot install Defender in Vista; It is already part of the Vista operating system.

    Read about Defender:

    If you use Norton, AVG, Avira, Microsoft Security Essentials, McAfee, etc. the default action is for Windows Defender must be disabled, that these AntiVirus programs have their own Antispyware Applications.

    There is nothing to worry.

    Using both programs at the same time can cause system conflicts, etc.

    If you are using one of the above AntiVirus programs, this Information from David O - Support Engineer shows you how to manually enable Windows Defender (disregard information from uninstalling; not possible in Vista):

    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_vista-security/how-do-i-manually-start-Windows-Defender-in-Vista/dab845b2-9ba5-47F3-9518-c4c6781e7d5b

    "Go to start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Look for Windows Defender.

    Right click and select Properties , ensure that Startup Type is automatic.

    Once modified, click apply and OK.

    Quit and restart your computer. Check the back take the same path to confirm that Windows Defender has started"

    .

    If you want to have additional protection against malware using the version FREE of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:

    And for now, change startup Vista programs without using Defender, use one of these methods:
