Has anyone got any bright ideas? My wife's 8500/120 has developed
intermittent faults, as follows: a) It will fail to shut down, the cursor
changing from the arrow to the watch & all keyboard & mouse functions frozen.
b) It will fail to boot up fully, reaching a grey blank screen with a
moveable cursor arrow & that's all. c) It will refuse to shut down, either
from the keyboard or the switch & requiring the plug to be pulled. d) It
will lock up completely while on the 'net.
It's running 8.1 & has 112 Mb of RAM. VM is off.
On another topic, I recently asked for advice regarding USB cards for
my 9500/132, running 8.6. I bought a Keyspan card, just 2 ports & installing
it was a breeze. Having downloaded Apple's driver I was able to run my new
Epson Stylus Photo 830 with no problems at all. Just thought I'd mention it!
