I upgraded my bios to 8.0. I installed Windows 2000 (SR1) by using a 2.5 to 3.5 IDE converter to place an IBM 20GB drive in my desktop machine, and copied the entire setup CD onto the hard drive before putting it back in the Libretto. I have not overclocked it yet. I'm now having two problems that I can't find any information on in the archives or on the web: (1) The mouse movement is erratic when I'm playing sound. Regardless of application (Winamp, Microsoft's sound Recorder, or Bookshelf 2000), when sound is playing the mouse becomes erratic (when moved, it tends to jump to the edges of the screen and act like the buttons are clicked randomly). I've tried changing the sound card IRQ, and playing with the BIOS settings, but nothing seems to help. Has anyone else seen this? (2) I can't get the pcmcia CDROM to work -- computer hangs. When I first installing Win2k, I had the CDROM hooked up, and it worked fine just after the install. But now, whenever I plug in the CDROM, I get a dialog saying "Found New Hardware", "PCMCIA MTD-0002", and then the "Found New Hardware Wizard" appears and after a few seconds, my computer hangs (freezes, no mouse response). My pcmcia CDROM has no brand name, but is model "SCD-540". Should I just get another CDROM? If any of you 100ct users out there have any advice for me, I'd very much appreciate it!!! If I find any solutions that work for me, I'll post them here. -- Geoff --------------------------------------------------- Get free personalized email at http://www.iname.com ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ -------UNSUBSCRIBE------- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=cmd:unsubscribe --------UNSUBSCRIBE DIGEST------ Use above but add DIGEST to the subject line... **************************************************************
