Next I went looking through the config files. Here I found the first problem.
There is a tool called "blackout" called repeatedly. I tried HELP BLACKOUT - not known. I tried BLACKOUT - hung the PC. Ctrl-C didn't work, not Esc, not Ctrl-Break. Nothing quit it. Reboot. Try: BLACKOUT /? Hung PC. Reboot. Try: BLACKOUT /h Hung PC. Reboot. If you include a command in the load sequence, it needs some help and it needs to understand the "standard" DOS switches that explain what it does. Other programs in the default config were undocumented, such as PERUSE - it does have help but I have no idea what it does. I am not happy to have unknown programs of unknown purpose that are not mentioned in the help in my default configuration files. I removed them. -- Liam Proven • Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/liamproven Email: lpro...@cix.co.uk • GMail/GoogleTalk/Orkut: lpro...@gmail.com Tel: +44 20-8685-0498 • Cell: +44 7939-087884 • Fax: + 44 870-9151419 AOL/AIM/iChat/Yahoo/Skype: liamproven • LiveJournal/Twitter: lproven MSN: lpro...@hotmail.com • ICQ: 73187508 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
