On the offchance someone here has seen this before... My laptop is giving me error 8611 on bootup. It does not get into windows, but forces me into a rather antiquated configuration utility. Now that I am someplace with alternate internet access google seems to indicate that this has to do with the trackpoint, which does make sense as it hs been showing a distressing tendency to go off and get stuck in a corner.
http://repairspot.com/thinkpad_8611_error__disabling.htm Seems that disabling the trackpoint will fix matters and then of course I will have to carry a mouse around, but this beats buying a new laptop. ANyone have opinions or thoughts or warnings about this process? -- He don't understand that sometimes a man Has got to fight for what he believes - Steve Earle ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:171432 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
