Re: I'm Back!
Date: Mon, 9 Apr 2001 07:01:07 +0100 From: "Jon Crawford" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: I'm Back! Hi Karen I got the hibernation/suspend to work fine on my 110CT - even with IR monitor active and limited network support. I admit it was after a clean install of Tosh's Win98, followed by the Win98se update CD... I found this little piece of info: http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q187/2/85.ASP which suggests the default 110CT display driver doesn't work well in Win98. I found a driver called l100vid8.exe on either Tosh US or Canada sites which replaced it. Also I found a shutdown supplement program for Win98se on Microsoft's support site (not sure of the URL, but I've got the file if you want it) called 4756us8.exe. Also I found that if I bound NETBEUI to my network adapter the 110CT would only hibernate / suspend once, then lock up on the second try with a black screen. Hope this helps.

O/S question
Date: Sun, 08 Apr 2001 18:02:42 -0400 From: "Brian Levy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: O/S question In reading the several threads about installing the various versions of Win98 (SE, ME), I began to wonder and thought I'd ask the group - why go through the hassle of installing these systems as opposed to just keeping the Win98 that came with the 110CT? No, I'm serious. Actually, what I'm looking for is what improvements do these flavors of Win98 have over the original release for the Libretto that warrants the upgrade. I'm using Win98 on the 110CT and my home PC and use Windows 2000 on my office laptop (company issued it). So far I have not had any problems with 98 on the 110. Admittedly, I don;t use the USB port in my replicator nor the infrared device. I am in process of considering a network with my home pc and my son's and in preparing, have added an ether net card that the computer seems to recognize. I can't get it to work with the pc using a wire between the 2 and assume I need the hub.

Re: 100CT PCMCIA Problem
Date: Sun, 08 Apr 2001 10:58:00 -0700 From: Karen R <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: 100CT PCMCIA Problem Windows 98 includes several Troubleshooter Wizards to help you troubleshoot device conflicts on your system. Using one of these Troubleshooters is an easy way for non-technical users to find and fix hardware problems. You're led step by step through a series of questions designed to track down the solution to your specific problem. All you have to do is answer the interactive questions in the Troubleshooter, and you'll be led to the probable solution to your problem. The following Troubleshooters come with Windows 98: Dial-Up Networking Direct Cable Connection DirectX Display DriveSpace Hardware Conflict Memory Modem MS-DOS Programs Networking PC Card Print Sound Startup and Shutdown The Microsoft Network To track down a particular problem with a Troubleshooter: 1.Click the Start button and select Help. 2.When the Help window appears, click the Contents tab click Troubleshooting, and then click Windows 98 Troubleshooters. 3.Select the Troubleshooter for your specific problem in the left pane. The Troubleshooter itself will be displayed in the right pane. 4.Follow the interactive directions to troubleshoot your particular hardware problems. Fixing Big Problems with System Troubleshooter If your problems are so big that the standard Windows Troubleshooters can't find solve them, you need to turn to a more powerful tool. Included with Windows 98 is just such a tool: System Troubleshooter. System Troubleshooter is a tool that uses the same steps used by Microsoft Technical Support staff when they're trying to diagnose system configuration problems. You work through a series of steps that, one-by-one, disable various system components until you track down the one that's causing your specific problem. Use System Troubleshooter when you have major problems with your system, particularly problems that appear after you've installed a new piece of hardware. Caution Because System Troubleshooter modifies key system files, it should be used only by technically savvy users. To use System Troubleshooter: 1.Launch System Troubleshooter by clicking the Start button and selecting Run. When the Run dialog box appears, type tshoot in the Open box, and then click OK. 2.Before you begin diagnosing problems, create a backup of all your system files by selecting the General tab and clicking the Create Backup button. _ Hope this helps!

I shut down Windows 98 (not easy when you're doing it blind!). When I rebooted the computer beeped and loaded Windows as normal but the screen remained blank thoughout the process. The next morning I switched the machine on and the screen worked for a few minutes before the same thing happened. Luckily the hard drive is shared so I can access the system on my network but as things stand I can't use it on the move :-( Can anyone suggest a solution i can attempt or failing that somewhere in the UK that might be able to fix it (and an idea of what that might cost).

Re: I'm Back!

Does the Libretto recognize the full 20 gigs without any overlays or advanced operating system? I understand the Toshiba drives do. If not, maybe this will help. I just installed an IBM Travelstar 12 gig in my Libretto 100 and here are the steps I used. 1. Installed it and partioned it using dos 6.22, set up three partions and only used 7.5 gigs. 2. I installed my pcmcia cd drive and copied the Windows 98se cab files in the second partion. 3. From that partion I did a clean installed of Windows 98se, using my Windows 3.1 floppies when asked for the location of Windows for the upgrade. 4. I then installed Partion Magic and made the boot disks. 5. I then repartioned, in dos, the full 12 gigs using the Partion Magic floppies. Everything seems to be working fine. I assume this procedure should work on a 20 gig drive.

Hi all, Yep, the "groovy grandma" has returned with my third Libby :-) Just couldn't stand it any longer. Hope this is my last one. Got a 20gb drive for it; and would like to know... now what do I do with it??? :-) Want to partition it... doesn't matter how many... to run W98SE and RedHat on it... So I need to know exactly where to put the space for the hibernation. Will the hibernation work within a logical drive created for it?? Does this partition need to be left unformatted?? Will the hibernation work now with W98se?? I've read in the archives of the experiment done with a 20gb drive by our resident guru... but don't exactly understand how to figure out using dos fdisk where to put that space... and yes, I'd like to put it inside the dos extended drive portion of the disk. Red Hat can run at the end of the drive, hopefully. One more question... what is the latest version of Red Hat that will run on the Libby 100??

Is this what I need? Have any of you run into this > before? Thanks for any feedback. Hi, I've just got a 100CT running Windows 98SE and am also having problems configuring the PCMCIA slots. Is there a FAQ anywhere that discusses this ? I've been playing with the BIOS settings from PCIC Comp and Autodetect but this does not make any difference. In the device manager, under PCMCIA socket it has two entries which are both "Toshiba ToPIC 97 CardBus Controller" I am told that I should also have another entry which is PCMCIA Services . When I enter a card their is no description in the Socket Status Description eg "- Socket 1" and the card does not work What do other people have ? and How do you install the card services ?
