Bruno Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 But the PUZZLE remains as to WHY SO FREQUENTLY??? Because your Laptop is so b***** d**** p***** w***** unstable :DB) Bruno Quote
Bruno Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 No no no . . Colin . . . it is not PCLOs . . . . . . . . nor the guy tapping on the keyboard of the system running PCLos . . . . . trust me, it's the Laptop ! Bruno Quote
kamicota Posted February 27, 2006 Author Posted February 27, 2006 BrunoLAPTOP/PCLos on it's way to friends NOW for ATTENTION Then it will be TOSHIBA help line ESPECIALLY re the FAN Cheers for YearsColin Quote
Bruno Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Excellent !! . . . maybe also ask your friend if he can check the BIOS for a setting "PnP aware OS" and if he finds it, please let him set it to "NO"Maybe even a BIOS upgrade would be needed to get some stability to this monster that is giving us sleepless nights for that last 2 weeks :DB) Bruno Quote
teacher Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 That sounds like a good idea. I hope the does a thorough job on your laptop. Quote
zlim Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Setting up a printer (I have HP 5550) is a piece of cake in PCLos! Even I can give you a step by step and everyone knows how mostly clueless I am when it comes to where to find things and how to set them. I've managed to configure my network printer to work with three computers in windows and in PCLos, Mepis and Vector 5.1! Quote
striker Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Don't tell Colin Liz, when he reads it... he might getting the first bus and get his laptop back, just to try and install it on the laptop... We just don't want anything ever be heard of that magical box again, unless it's repaired and behaves itself. (just teasing you Colin !)BTW : Did the new printer arrive at your place, Colin ? I know the feeling, I remember when I got my 2nd printer, I ordered it and had to wait for it a couple of days, but then when it arrived... Quote
kamicota Posted February 27, 2006 Author Posted February 27, 2006 PLEASE PLEAZZZZZZZZZZE give me a BREAK[/size] --->>>Bruno --->>> NOW I LEARN about CHECKING Bios Never even though of that and a Bios update from Linux me still under wrtaps with that And Liz it is a 5440 Printer BUT I may need to get the Laptop in tune with the Desktop network??? Striker METHINKS there may even be a NEED for KANOTIX instaed- WHAT you THINK BECAUSE--->>> after fixing sound server ERROR - at friends ERROR REAPPEARS Darn Shoot Guess I will have to l;ook at Bios MYSELF OOOHHH the PAIN Colin Quote
teacher Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 If you are going to look at the bios yourself, you better tell us what kind you have so we can check to see who has the same and where to look. Quote
kamicota Posted February 27, 2006 Author Posted February 27, 2006 Yep JuliaGoing to have a look Myself as soon as I finish some "COMFORT" food from the adrenalin RUSHES today Colin Quote
striker Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 First things first Colin,Your top priority now is getting the laptop repaired.After that, we'll see but for the laptop I think kanotix is out of the question. I think PClos is a much better idea. Quote
kamicota Posted February 27, 2006 Author Posted February 27, 2006 Yep StrikerJust could NOT resist that after that DARN SERVER ERROR NO kanotix for me OK only PCLos Righty Ho!!!Time to hook up and Bott into Laptop/PCLos Bios need a few HereCheerts for yearsColin :thumbsup:Righty Ho WE ARE in Bios Do NOT see a Brand Name but it is ACPI Bios 1.90And can NOT see PNPColin Quote
teacher Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Usually you see the bios name on the boot menu first thing as it boots up (unless it is in a silent mode). Have you searched through all your tabs? Quote
kamicota Posted February 27, 2006 Author Posted February 27, 2006 JuliaI HAVE and been through the TWO pagesAnd nothin about PNP MOI getting a little Right at this point in timeColin Quote
Bruno Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Colin . . . . I would feel more comfortable if you let your friend handle the BIOS upgrade . . . ( and the PnP setting after the upgrade ) Bruno Quote
steel Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 hi Colini third that ... let your friend handle your bios, i had a friend of mine some years back flash my bios and it was a pain, something went wrong and my computer was almost useless. and he is a hard ware guru he is A certified... so anything can go wrong.... if your having a hard time booting distro or cd you could always use smart boot manager its amazing boots up anything, and is also included in your slax cd if you have one around.....
