Techs were telling me to scrap it, not worth the money or effort etc. You seem to be the only thing keeping hope alive! |

I'm helping a friend bring back life to his Aptive 2176-c6b and we're in need of drivers for the 25h5830 sound card and modem combo. I'm not sure about the MB capacity yet but would love to learn how to beef this up. Any help would be appreciated, thanks and Happy New Year everyone. |

And thats if the net is working, because sometimes it will just shut down because the computer can't handle it. Aptiva is bull****. i advise ANYONE looking for a computer to stay the HELL away from anything that has to do with aptiva. aptiva will only rip you off like they ripped me off. |

Since I joined AOL I am running out of memory and Drive C. How can I solve this problem? Who do you recommend? Tried to email IBM but they have not answered my email. I need to know what kind of parts can be used, I think they need to be IBM compatible. Should I go to Future Shop for service or just a computer place at a mall? Did go to one store but they were more interested in selling me a new computer instead. Can the Aptiva be upgraded to a Pentium 3 at least? Hope you can help. Thank you. Koteles |

Got an interesting hack in my 2144 A12. Four cards in a 3 card machine. You can let a ISA sound card share a slot with a short Ethernet PCI if you cut out the game plug and take the backstrap off the NIC. Plug them face to face in the 2 slot. Mine's shot black to match the black 7095 I got from PC Surplus Online. I still use it for AOL and Agent. |

Your site is a tremendous asset for my friend and anyone who has an Aptiva system. I found your site while searching for a flash bios update and was pleasantly supplied and reassured that the steps I had taken to update his computer were accurate. You have done a wornderful job preparing the information on this site and I was pleased to find the update file needed plus the others. He had a bug upon start up that caused his system to scan disk and you explained that very well plus had the update driver, too. And there was at least ten other very helful tidbits, etc. Awesome job and congratulations for being a great resource to fellow Aptiva owners.

IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET MY crAPTIVA MOTHERBOARD TO RECOGNIZE MORE THAN 128mb of memory? Ive got a few 512 sticks id LOVE to put in there. The constipated gestapo network administrator at my new job has SERIOUS control issues. he sneakily sabotaged my operating system by requiring me to upgrade to the notoriously destructive INTERNET EXPLORER 6 [BEWARE!!!] He was aparently insecure about how my ultratweaked2hyperwarp-speed Win98crAPTIVA was WAY out-performing his entire vanilla installed by-the-microsoft-book wireless Compaq Evo network. ...but that's ok, i am now REBUILDING my win98 UBER-install & THIS time im making a restore cdr on my BURNER.

Replaced 256Kb with 512Kb, P166MMx with P200MMx, and 32Mb with 64Mb, I saved from another IBM 300PL which was scrapped, and put 2 disks of 8,4Gb in, a cd-writer and a Dvdrom. I thought my system was totally maxed out, until last week when I saw another black Aptiva with 80Gb Maxtor and FastOntrack. Time to make my best PC even better ;p |

Even Tried Norton 2002 Boot Disk, It Says Restarting Windows 98 and That Is As Far It Loads. Anyone that can sell me a recovery disc or any help would be very appreciated. Thanks! |

It had a bad hard drive and I've several old ones. I decided to replace it. After several hours with a large screw driver and attempts to find a hammer..I came to Your site and had the cover off in seconds. Thanks. Now begins the fun. After I get the cobwebs off enough to find the HD. Many thanks again. |

My Aptiva 2176-352, originally a pentium at 120 mhz, vintage 1996, has rejuvenated with the Donīs advice on processor upgrades. I upgraded with an Evergreen Spectra 400 (AMD K6-2 ant 400 mhz)which is working fine except for the 127 post error. I expect to keep my Aptiva at least for another 5 or 6 years. Don, thanks for your superb site. |

At the same time I installed a second hard drive in my machine, saving all my important W98 files. I am now searching for any applicable BIOS updates for my machine, since I can no longer use the Standby mode. The indications are that some unknown device driver (???) is denying the activation of the Standby feature. Any assistance or recommendations will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Menko |

(It's an A50) 1) REMOVE the WRETCHED Mwave Card 2) Replace with Genuine Creative Labs SoundBlaster Card (I used an AWE64) 3) Boot up using your IBM Recovery Floppy 4) Say NO to System Restore 5) Format C:\ 6) Install a Retail Copy of Windows 95 It's amazing how much better the computer runs now that it has no knowledge of ever being an "Aptiva". |

You were offering me tech help , as a basic friend , and I was under the impression , that there was no problem ! I have noticed however , that you claimed that you took on a new Internet job , and I was certainly very very Patient with you , as far as Waiting & Waiting & Waiting -FOREVER , for a Reply to arrive ! I NEVER complained , and ONLY asked once in a while , if all was OK , cause I got concerned that you could be Ill or Worse! This was Exactly 5-7 MONTHS ago ! I STILL get NO REPLIES from you , even if I use Different Email Address !!! I am Honestly Totally Confused , & Fully Offended by this behavior from you ! I have Offered MANY times , to arrange to PAY you , for your time , but you STILL will NEVER ANSWER THAT ISSUE !!! I have done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG , and feel that I DESERVE a RESPONCE from you. And *WITHOUT* ATTITUDE either , cause I have seen NUMOUROUS times , when you FLY OFF THE HANDLE , just attempting to Explain a Tech Issue to me ! The Saddest part of all , is that *I* have *NEVER* given you a peice of *MY MIND* back , cause if I ever responded to YOU , like you have at a FEW times responded to ME , with an ATTITUDE , then I am *SURE* that YOU , would *NOT* even REPLY at ALL !!! BUT , it seems that YOU enjoy JUMPING down on MY CASE and yet , I STILL COME CRAWLING BACK , to you , & *WITHOUT* ATTITUDE to boot ! So , with THAT being said , may I *PLEASE* have an EXPLAINATION , of WHY you will NOT REPLY to me ??? I STILL want to be your Friend , and STILL NEED Help at times !!! AGAIN , I have done *NOTHING WRONG* !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have EMAIL YOU , EXTENSIVELY , for MONTHS , but they just go UN ANSWERED ! *PLEASE* at LEAST give me an REASON , to WHY you are IGNORING me ! This is VERY IMPORTANT to me Don ! PLEASE !!!!!! THANKS AGAIN , and HAPPY NEW YEAR to you & yours . God Bless !!! ;-) [email protected] |

Christoph on Jan 31, 2004 at 12:26 [EST] [ email ] [ homepage ] [ referred by: other ] Comments: Hi fellow Aptiva owners: I installed a 2nd (shadowed) HD in my dash 570 machine, and I replaced the Windows 98 OS with Windows 2000 Professional. I also replaced the OEM Rockwell modem with a US Robotics 56K PCI Faxmodem (PN: 3CP5699A). The OS upgrade was a big improvement, and it is a much more stable platform than my standard Windows 98 was. I got everything working great, with the exception of being able to install the new modem drivers software from the US Robotics supplied CD, requiring me to default to the Windows 2000 generic divers. In addition, my machine no longer allows me to use the "Sleep" or Standby feature! Does anyone have a similar experience or any suggestions for me? Thanks in advance. You can E-Mail me backchannel at: [email protected]. Menko Christoph St. Peters, MO P.S. I also tried to contact Don Schneider numerous times via E-Mail, but never recived the courtesy of a reply! Just wondering what gives??? |

First I upgraded the bios so I can stop using EZ Bios, then I learned that the companion disk will allow me to upgrade to W98 since the Recovery Disk doesn't seem to be working. Thanks very much.

I need to know how I can get this processor to clock at 200MHz. The motherboard has a VRM that can be set with jumpers, but I can't find any info on where to place the jumpers to set the VRM for a certain voltage. I found one jumper, so far, on the motherboard seprate from the VRM, that I had to set to get it to clock at 166MHz, befor it would only clock at 133MHz. |
